In a bold statement, Moscow has claimed that RT (Russia Today) is crucial for stopping the world from becoming ‘zombified’ by Western media. According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, the US is trying to control global opinions and hide its own flaws by attacking RT.
Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, spoke with RT after the US imposed new sanctions and made accusations against the news outlet. She argues that the real issue is not about Ukraine or American elections, but about the US trying to keep its image as a flawless superpower intact.
Zakharova claims that RT exposes the myths created by Hollywood and the American media, showing the real problems and challenges the world faces today. She believes that American mainstream media makes people dependent on it and prevents them from seeing different viewpoints.
The US State Department recently accused RT of trying to weaken democracy in the US and reduce support for Ukraine. Zakharova, however, says these accusations are part of a larger scheme by the US to manipulate public opinion. She believes the US is using fake stories and a paranoid narrative to stir up hatred and intolerance among Americans.
According to Zakharova, the US is once again using its power to attack RT and Russian media without providing solid evidence. Instead of focusing on sanctions, she argues that the US is engaging in a campaign to persecute RT and, by extension, Russia’s entire civil society.
Zakharova claims that the US is more interested in maintaining its so-called “myth of infallibility” than in addressing real issues. She views these actions as a desperate attempt to keep Americans from seeing alternative perspectives and truths about global affairs.
Moscow is defending RT by claiming it helps keep the world from being controlled and misled by Western media, and criticizing the US for trying to suppress alternative viewpoints.
