RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian public broadcaster and international television network.

Among the Western media, there is immense level of hysteria against RT because it serves as one column of counter-propaganda efforts against the pro-capitalist pro-imperialist Western media.[1]

In 2010, Walter Isaacson, Chairman of the U.S. Government's Broadcasting Board of Governors, which runs Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia, called for more money to invest in the programs because "We can't allow ourselves to be out-communicated by our enemies", specifically mentioning Russia Today, Iran's Press TV and China's China Central Television (CCTV) in the following sentence. He later explained that he actually was referring to "enemies" in Afghanistan, not the countries he mentioned.[2]
