RT Is Trolling Everyone With Adverts Joking About Russian Hacking

[muriel_volestrangler]

RT, the television news channel backed by the Russian state, has responded to suggestions it is complicit in a state disinformation campaign aimed at disrupting Western nations by embracing the claims with a series of adverts.

The promotional posters – which have appeared on the London underground in recent days – refer to accusations from the channel's critics that it is part of a wider Russian information campaign involving hacking and propaganda, welcoming them as a sign of the channel's outsider status.

One advert suggests people watch RT, formerly known as Russia Today, in order to "find out who we are planning to hack next". One quotes former US secretary of state John Kerry's description of the channel as a "propaganda bullhorn", while another proudly boasts that the CIA describes it as a "propaganda machine".
