Half of Russia Today's reporting on the hacking-allegations is repeating what Trump said

Seriously. Trump-tweets?

This is a matter between the DNC, the US-government and the russian government and half of their reporting is ridiculing the allegations by reprinting Trump's denials?

----------------

I have seen 4 articles by Russia Today on the matter so far, and none of them mentions that this is a big thing in the US, none of them mentions any of the proof connecting Russia to the hack that is available so far.



This is a standard-tactic of Russia Today. Read their articles and you will see this propaganda-technique over and over again: Lie by omission.
They hint and manipulate by bombarding the reader with those facts that match their propaganda-goals, leaving out facts that contradict their propaganda. And then they add useless information as filler to bloat their articles.

And that's why half of an article on the DNC-hacking consists of Trump-tweets.
