@grok Is rt.com Russian propaganda?
Yes, rt.com (RT, formerly Russia Today) is Russian state propaganda.
en.wikipedia.org
It is a Russian government-funded and controlled international media network whose primary purpose is to advance Kremlin interests, often through selective reporting, disinformation, and "alternative" narratives that counter Western media.
en.wikipedia.org
Key FactsOwnership and funding: RT is fully funded by the Russian government (via entities like Rossiya Segodnya / ANO TV-Novosti). Its editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, has a direct line to the Kremlin, and senior staff are Putin loyalists. Editors approve and revise stories to align with official narratives.

Explicit mission: Founded in 2005 as part of Russia's public relations/soft power effort to improve its image and challenge "Anglo-Saxon monopoly" on global news. Simonyan has described its role in "information war" against the West. Putin has publicly endorsed it as a tool to break Western dominance.

Track record: Widely documented as spreading pro-Kremlin content, conspiracy theories, and falsehoods—especially on Ukraine, elections, and Western politics. It has failed numerous fact-checks and is rated "Questionable" / very low factual reporting by independent evaluators like Media Bias/Fact Check due to propaganda and bias.

Western governments, intelligence agencies, and outlets (including the U.S. State Department, EU, UK, etc.) classify it as the Kremlin's principal international propaganda outlet. It has been banned or restricted in the EU, Canada, Ukraine, and elsewhere specifically for disinformation tied to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and election interference.
