“Russian President Vladimir Putin has created an anti-CNN for Western audiences with the international satellite news network Russia Today. He commissioned the network in order to ‘break the monopoly of the Anglo-Saxon mass media.’ The government seems to be succeeding in its task, with the network gaining more viewers in major cities in the United States that any other foreign broadcaster. In Washington, 13 times as many viewers tune in to Russia Today than they do its German equivalent Deutsche Welle. A total of 2 million Brits watch the program. On Youtube, the Moscow-based broadcaster recently broke the one-billion-hit barrier.”
