And that’s only direct spending, the indirect is even more obvious. How many video games and movies have Russia as the antagonist? How many have China as the antagonist? This is because China will blacklist any company that portrays them in a negative light.
It’s working too. Lots of people on the left in USA are consuming conspiracies originating from Russian propaganda. The likes of Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone are targeting the disillusioned left.
And how much does the US spend on propaganda?
For comparison, the US just approved 300 million dollar for anti-China propaganda. Not whataboutism, just pointing out that every major power does this. I don’t get why everybody acts surprised all the time. We do it, they do it, everybody knows it.
They are doing a good job here on r/europe as well
Each day I wish the great John McCain got elected. Sad
The national endowment for democracy and others like it are America’s ongoing soft coup attempts against every “non-democratic” government in the world (ones the US doesn’t like).
Pair that with its savage interventionism and hard coup efforts (libya, venezuela) and you have a foreign policy that is 1000x more dangerous than Kremlin funded hackers.
Who doesn’t do this?
It almost looks like opensecrets.org, mainly funded by the billionaire Pierre Omidyar through the Omidyar Network and the Democracy Fund, are jealous that their own media vehicle, The Intercept, is turning out to be a dud nobody’s reading, despite getting similar funding cash as RT
Like the US does
What is going on with this headline? Are we to understand that Russia and the Kremlin are now working together?
I mean, even tiny Germany is spending 387.5 million euros each year for DW – German state TV. Everyone does this.
why is this considered news?
Just ban Russian and Chinese hybrid media already
I wish more people were aware of this and took it into account when they see clear troll posts on Reddit and elsewhere.

It’s dwarfed by China though.
