DISINFO: RT and Sputnik repeatedly being accused without evidence
SUMMARY
Western countries have repeatedly accused the Russian networks RT and Sputnik of publishing "false materials", without providing any evidence to support these accusations.
RESPONSE
A pro-Kremlin narrative to whitewash its media while trying to portray Russian outlets as truthful despite its evident manipulations and promotion of disinformation.
Our platform, EUvsDisinfo, was established in late 2015 to identify, compile, and exposes disinformation cases originating in pro-Kremlin outlets that are spread across the EU and Eastern Partnership countries.
EUvsDisinfo’s database currently consists of more than 12400 samples of pro-Kremlin disinformation messages, mainly from Sputnik and RT, with Germany receiving the lion's share of disinformation targeting the EU members.
Read similar cases which claim that only Russian outlets tell the truth; or that French authorities called to boycott Sputnik and RT; or that there is a Western pressure campaign against Russian media; or that Russia does not need to take part in the information war; or that US senators and Macron accused Sputnik and RT of election interference with no evidence; or that RT and Sputnik are more popular than Western Media.
