Over the past year, since Russiagate has blown over for the most part, Sputnik News and Russia Today, the two major government controlled media operations (controlled by the same person) have embarrassingly fawned over Trump.
More than that, their slant has been decidedly racist, anti-Semitic (expressing virulent hatred for America’s liberal Jewish majority), anti-Hispaic/African American/Islamic America and anti-intellectual.
They have also been anti-science but their real bias has been an ongoing smear campaign against any democratic politician or anyone that isn’t a pure Deep State sludge eater.
Above all, RT and Sputnik are willing to provide childish excuses for any Trump gaff, always joining Trump to go after the media, or his science advisors or his military advisors, everyone but William Barr and Rudy Giuliani.
To that extent they have repeatedly bashed Iran and Syria, both prime allies of Russia, whenever it serves Trump interests. Only when it comes to Turkey do they show mixed emotions.
The bias, which invariably piles up comment sections accusing the state run media giants of bad taste and pure idiocy, is so ham handed and unprofessional that it has made them a laughing stock.
Op Ed pieces are handed out to hack writers who package embarrassing propaganda.
All of this is suicidal because, at one time, RT and Sputnik, were the only partially trustworthy news sources around. With censorship in the US nearly total, they were bastions. Now, that’s been long gone.
With that, the Russian Trump-hogs have burned their audience, they have less than zero influence with what had been the brightest American news audience and now write for redneck militia types who would die before they turned to a Russia website.
Meaning? The whole thing is a game but perhaps worse, it lets many of us know exactly how much Russia hates the American people and has wished Trump on us knowing we would suffer horribly, as Americans are now.
If Americans were to admire Russia and Putin, and there had been reason to do this at one point, that reason is quickly going away.

Russia loves Trump, why? This article, written in response to a CNN Russia-loves-Trump article last fall,` describes the top 25 times “the U.S. president has actually been consistently reckless towards Moscow, with zero resistance from either party” https://consortiumnews.com/2019/11/19/25-times-trump-has-been-dangerously-hawkish-on-russia/
Padre: Assange was never a mossad agent but rather, like you, hasbara
Trump’s an America hating draft dodging asshole. Vote for someone else.
I don’t know where you got the “antisemitic rant”.
Gordon clearly writes “anti-Semitic (expressing virulent hatred for America’s liberal Jewish majority).”
And if you haven’t read the hundreds of hateful RT articles just on George Soros alone, then you haven’t read RT.
This is even after funding the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft which is antiwar.
If you ever read a love letter to Soros written on RT, scroll down to the comment section and see their reader’s sentiments.
Bashar Assad said of Trump: “I tell you, he’s the best American president. Why? Not because his policies are good, but because he’s the most transparent president.”
A visible enemy is better than the one in gloves or hidden.
I don’t think it matters to Russians who is at the helm of the US, it’s not their issue, and especially not to the countries that are on the US enemy list.
Many prominent and folk Slovenians were publicly cheering Melania’s ascension to becoming the first lady, but what is there to cheer about. The most backward primitive response to supporting US presidency unfortunately almost always comes from US ‘allies’, not from US foes.
