Russia Launches Investigation of “CNN and Other American Media” (Video)
The continued propagation of sinister Russian conspiracies and interference into American politics has long ago crossed the line into absurdity. As we reported previously, there is zero hard evidence of any Russian conspiracy or collusion, something the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has confirmed. Despite the absence of any fire however, the left and the mainstream media continue to blow smoke at the public and their latest target is rival news organizations.
In the following video, Right Wing News looks at the legislation introduced by Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen that authorizes the DOJ to look if the Russian Times has potentially violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act. She alleges that the organization is coordinating with the Russian government to spread misinformation and undermine our democratic process.
Of course, this nonsensical witch hunt has triggered a similar response, with the Russian State Duma approving a proposal to investigate US media organizations that operate in Russia. Not content with trying to discredit Trump, the left are now trying to openly antagonize Russia. Just what are they trying to achieve with this?

A few days ago Jeanne Shaheen, a Democratic Senator from New Hampshire, introduced a piece of legislation that would give the Department of Justice “new authority” to investigate potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act by the ‘Russian Times’. Among other things, Shaheen said the legislation was necessary to determine whether “RT News is coordinating with the Russian government to spread misinformation and undermine our democratic process.” We won’t even bother to touch on the inherent hypocrisy of such a statement, but here is the press release from Shaheen’s website:
Following intelligence reports that RT News operates as a propaganda outlet for the Russian government, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) has introduced legislation that gives the Department of Justice new authority to investigate potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act by RT America.
“We have good reason to believe that RT News is coordinating with the Russian government to spread misinformation and undermine our democratic process,” said Shaheen. “The American public has a right to know if this is the case. RT News has made public statements boasting that it can dodge our laws with shell corporations, and it’s time for the Department of Justice to investigate. My bill provides the authority needed to request documentation of RT News and find out who they’re accountable to.”
The Director of National Intelligence’s recent report titled Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections concluded that RT News officials have structured their affiliate organizations to deliberately circumvent U.S. reporting and disclosure requirements under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Senator Shaheen’s Foreign Agents Registration Modernization and Enforcement Act gives the Department of Justice new authority to compel organizations like RT America to produce documentation on funding sources and foreign connections.
Well, as it turns out, Russian officials have the power to launch meaningless witch hunts in their country as well and have decided to demonstrate that power with the announcement today that they’ll launch a similar investigation into all U.S. media currently operating in Russia. Per Reuters:
The Russian lower house of parliament, the State Duma, has approved a proposal to launch an investigation into U.S. media organizations that operate in Russia, it said in a statement posted on its web site late on Friday.
The investigation, which will be conducted by the Duma’s information policy, technologies and communications committee, will check whether CNN, the Voice of America, Radio Liberty and “other American media” are complying with Russian law.
Deputy Konstantin Zatulin, who initiated the move, calls it “a response to the actions of American politicians who have systematically accused Russian news media of interference in U.S. internal affairs,” according to the Friday statement.
Shaheen’s legislation, of course, drew wide criticism from Russian agencies including the Russian Foreign Ministry whose spokesperson mocked the bill saying it should have included a clause defining a list of books that should be collected for burning.
The statement said the Duma backed the move on Friday evening after Konstantin Zatulin, an MP from the pro-Kremlin United Russia party, proposed an investigation to retaliate for what he called a “repressive” U.S. move against Russian state-funded broadcaster RT.
He said he was referring to an initiative by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who has introduced a bill to empower the Justice Department to investigate possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act by RT.
Foreign media in Russia are overseen by the Russian Foreign Ministry, whose spokeswoman Maria Zakharova this week singled out Shaheen’s demarche for criticism, quipping ironically that the senator should have included a clause drawing up a list of books for burning.
The U.S. move also solicited the ire of Margarita Simonyan, RT’s editor-in-chief, who on Wednesday told the daily Izvestia it had echoes of the activities of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, who oversaw a campaign to expose people he regarded as communists in the 1950s.
Meanwhile, all of this comes even as top Democrats admitted on Friday that their investigation into Trump’s campaign was unlikely to yield any evidence of collusion with Russia (see “The Democrats’ Trump-Russia Conspiracy Campaign Collapses“). Of course, not many politicians are willing to let facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Just sharing a new site i found. Loving it so far. Refreshing actually.

That site tried to give me a virus, be careful, I wouldn’t click there!
Nothing will happen CNN will continue to broadcast lie after lie. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC, AND CNN, have been identified as TRAITORS to the United States Constitution. The CEO and CFO of each of these Media Companies must be arrested, placed on TRIAL for TREASON and Sedition.
The United States Organized Crime Syndicate (FBI) will do nothing to stop the Attack on the American Citizens. So Mr. PUTIN will get it done, since our Nation (The USA) is Governed by SPINELESS COWARDS, running to and fro, acting like they are GOOD. They are only good at one thing. Breaking the LAW. it might be time to light the torches, grab a PITCHFORK, warm the TAR PAILS and pluck the Chickens for a Bag of Feathers. Maybe that will get their attention.
