So is this the Russian version of CNN?It all makes sense now.

No; CNN does not attempt to influence Russian citizens by pretending to be a patriotic Russian network.

Of course not!

They do that with the American citizens.

Exactly! That is why we have the First Amendment! American citizens have the right to persuade their fellow citizens of their political opinions. If you disagree with CNN, you have Fox or an infinite number of sources on paper and the internet. Of course, some people don't like that.

You are ignorant of my location comrade. CNN is so not transparent. You reveal your agenda to disrupt nations by propaganda.

Now you are making no sense whatsoever. CNN regularly airs opinion programs clearly labelled as such. Their board of directors, editorial board, reporting staff, advertisers, and even camera and sound peoples' names are a matter of public record. They are completely transparent, and if you don't like their bias, you don't have to watch them.

The United States does have official propaganda organs, particularly "Radio Free Europe." They do not pretend to be anything else.

Now please actually answer the question you have been dodging and provide evidence to back this claim:

The American media machine is far above others in it's skill to persuade or propagandize

If true, it should be easy to prove. Don't forget to compare it to Russia, China, and Iran.

Don’t care how batshyte crazy it is, it’ll still be more reliable and trustworthy than CNN and their ilk.

All mainstream news is propaganda, if you deny that your either an idiot or a shill

Why in the world would they bother with an improved information agency, when the old one has worked so well?

Putin only has your best interest at heart, and Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper are trying to destroy you and control your mind.


Right.

Those CNN shills are only executing messages they are required to expel based upon their job descriptions. How is that any different than the Russia messaging?

You will, of course, post a link to their job descriptions in support of this statement.

For starters, the Russian "messaging" is targeted against a foreign enemy. It is weaponized propaganda. CNN, like it or not, is an American media organization targeting fellow American citizens. What they broadcast is in support of their legitimate political opinions, ie; what they believe, rightly or wrongly, to be in the best interests of the nation. Russian "messaging" is intended to harm American interests.

Now kindly justify your hyperbolic claims about American "propaganda."

Nice try Comrade DJW001, You are obviously oblivious to Operaion Mockingbird. USA propaganda by intel agencies meant to weaken the news media's truth to the public and control messaging to Americans. Russia thanks you for ignoring this breach of trust with the American media to it's people.

Thank you for bumping this thread. USA Really is now officially DOA. Da zvidanya!

American interests seem to harm the best interests of the nation. And no amount of spinning, nor the Russians, would be able to change that.

On the contrary. It's a politicized tool that will lead to more competition on the market, which in turn could have a positive effect on the overall quality in the MSM. Checks and balances are a good thing, are they not?

You don't have a thing to hide while reporting the truth, and the truth only. Or do you?

Another American who thinks America is the white hat.

They see that the American media is already doing their job of weakening the American people, so therefore it's not necessary.

You miss the point. USA Really will try to convince people that the truth is being hidden, even when it is not. That is the Russian strategy: "We may never know the truth."

Wrong. If the government does something wrong, I want voters to know about it. What I don't want is foreign propagandists making thing up, or twisting it:

So this is the Russian version of the American Global Engagement Center?? Cool!

Oh, I see...you don't want the Russians muscling in on the Propaganda our OWN Government is already feeding us. You want the disinfo to come from our own as opposed to a foreign source. Wow, how far is your head up CNN's butt!??

Newly Declassified Govt Docs Reveal Operation Mockingbird is Alive and Well

For those unfamiliar, Operation Mockingbird was a CIA operation began as the Cold War ramped up in the 1950’s. In an attempt to gather intelligence and influence public opinion, the CIA recruited journalists from across the United States.

The program officially operated for nearly three decades, and was deeply embedded in the fabric of American journalism. These compromised journalists provided the CIA direct access to some of the most prestigious media outlets in the country.


The scope of the infiltration of the media was vast, encompassing newspapers, periodicals, press services, news agencies, radio and television stations, book publishers and foreign media outlets. It appears that these propaganda relationships are still ongoing between the U.S. government and corporate media outlets.
