MOSCOW, SEPTEMBER 6, 2017- RT has reached 5 billion views on YouTube, maintaining its undisputed leadership ( :bs) among international news networks, far surpassing the total number of views for BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera and Euronews.
“By reaching more than 5 billion views, RT has confirmed its status as the world’s biggest news network on YouTube,” said Youri Hazanov, head of YouTube partnerships for Russia, Israel and the CIS."

If Russia Today is Moscow’s propaganda arm, it’s not very good at its job.
The Kremlin-funded news outlet plays a starring role in the report. According to its authors, “Russia’s state-run propaganda machine . . . contributed to the influence campaign by serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to Russian and international audiences.”
RT is credited with, among other things, “consistently cast[ing] President-elect Trump as the target of unfair coverage from traditional U.S. media outlets that they claimed were subservient to a corrupt political establishment”; “denigrat[ing] Secretary Clinton” with segments like ‘Clinton and ISIS Funded by the Same Money’ ”; and casting doubt on the outcome of the U.S. election with clips like “Trump Will Not be Permitted to Win,” an English-language clip that garnered more than 2.2 million views.
According to the report, the channel “substantially expanded its repertoire of programming that highlights criticism of alleged U.S. shortcomings in democracy and civil liberties.”
It's true that the station seemed to have a preference for Trump in the run-up to the 2016 campaign. It's clear, too, that RT enjoys obvious links to the Kremlin and that its editorial efforts illuminate the Putin line.
But it's not at all obvious that Americans were swayed by the channel's segments. “The main instrument of Russia propaganda, the RT channel, has a small audience — the U.S. intelligence agencies grossly inflated its importance,” Thomas de Waal, senior fellow at Carnegie Europe, wrote recently.
It's not even that easy to know how many Americans are tuning in. RT claims it has more than 500,000 unique viewers every day and more than 800 million views on its YouTube channel since 2005. On its website, RT says that it can reach 85 million people in the United States. When asked for comment, its spokesperson pointed to a November 2015 study (commissioned by the channel), which found that RT is watched by 8 million people weekly in America, and that it's among the top five international broadcasters in the country....
