Voice of America
A screen shot of Russia's RIA Novosti website on Nov. 23, 2023. RIA Novosti is one of the state-owned outlets that picks up fringe content and out-of-context headlines from U.S. media to bolster Kremlin narratives FILE - Tucker Carlson, shown here in Bedminster, N.J., on July 31, 2022, is one of the American commentators who figure prominently in Russian state-run media. U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, shown here in Washington on Nov. 13, 2023, is one of a group of congresswomen from the Democratic left whose words are frequently used in Russian state-run media.
From headlines taken out of context to the framing of fringe figures as representative of wider American views, Russian state-run outlets are cherry-picking U.S. content to back up Kremlin narratives.
