RT/RussiaToday
Yes, we've all seen it posted here for various reasons.
For Years by Leftists as it is anti-American, but more recently by Trump supporters.
RT is 100% Russian Govt financed and aims to undermine Western democracy here and in Europe.
Other similar outlets are Sputnik, Fort-Russ, etc.
This is all part of the Russian Internet effort that includes recent hacking.
Some Naive or Hyper-Partisan American posters Eat it up because it supports their current political view.

Report Casts Light on TV Channel’s Role in Russia’s Propaganda Efforts
Intelligence document says RT aired reports about Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails and media bias against Donald Trump

Report Casts Light on TV Channel?s Role in Russia?s Propaganda Efforts - WSJ

A declassified U.S. intelligence assessment of Russia’s alleged attempts to influence the American presidential election focuses heavily on RT, a Kremlin-financed international news channel that the report says played a key role in Moscow’s efforts.

The report, released Friday, detailed why the intelligence community believes that Russia carried out cyberattacks aimed at undermining the electoral process and ensured that damaging information obtained through those activities was disseminated online. But it also shined a light on what it characterized as Russia’s bigger propaganda efforts, especially RT, formerly known as Russia Today. Seven pages of the 25-page report detail the growth of the media outlet, its alleged ties to the Kremlin and how it has been a platform for criticizing the U.S. and the West.​

Clinton had pointed this out, when she was SoS. The surprise is that the administration didn't do much about it or about its less savory forms. That is concerning.​

And I've pointed it out for at least 4 Years.

see, ie

Specifically:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network)#Criticism

It's a Propaganda website, replete with Conspiracy theories galore.
Now, some GOPers are so partisan, they endorse this subversive website.
