DISINFO: European media is controlled by Washington

SUMMARY

European media is controlled by Washington. The aim is to keep Europe far from Russia and to maintain US dominance over Europe. Unlike in Russia, there is no plurality of opinions in Western media.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. According to the 2016 World Press Freedom Index, Russia ranks significantly lower than EU Member States (148 out of the 180 countries included in the Index) (bit.ly/1YGtJug), .

Disclaimer

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
