US Intel report on `Russian hacking` example of `propaganda merry-go-round`
US intelligence community`s report on alleged `Russian hacking` of the US election is a perfect example of `propaganda merry-go-round`, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during her weekly press briefing.
The report contains only unfounded accusations and has no evidential base, Zakharova said. Describing the process of how these allegations travel around the US mainstream media, Zakharova said that all kinds of information war measures are used to promote anti-Russian ideas. She pointed out that, by blaming RT and Sputnik for propaganda, the US media and intelligence services forget `clearly propagandist` news outlets like Voice of America or Radio Liberty. "It is shameful," Zakharova said.
