Kremlin-owned news outlet Rossiya Segodnya is to halt a major deal with British news agency Reuters after the company implicated Russian state media in a plot to undermine US elections.
Rossiya Segodnya had been ready to sign a new contract to buy Reuters’ video content from May this year. Now the Russian party is refusing the sign, RIA Novosti reported Friday.
Unnamed U.S. intelligence officers said that one paper, published in March 2016, proposed a propaganda attack involving both state-owned news outlets and social media to promote a more Russia-friendly candidate.
A second paper, allegedly released in October last year, advised the Kremlin to concentrate its propaganda efforts on undermining the legitimacy of the entire election system.
Rossiya Segodnya took umbrage when the Reuters’ article named Kremlin-backed Sputnik and RT as being instrumental in the alleged plot.
