“The EU
is paranoid about alleged Kremlin propaganda, calling it 'Russian
information onslaught,' and since Russian media sources do not push
the mainstream Western agenda, they are automatically labelled as
'propagandist.'”
“The
Euobserver writes that 'Russian propaganda disseminated by outlets
such as RT and Sputnik International is finding receptive audiences
in various EU member states.' The question is why does the EU feel so
uncomfortable that Europeans have started to read alternative sources
of information? Isn’t it a good thing that people have an
opportunity to read various news outlets, gather different available
information and come to their own conclusions regarding current
events? After all, this is what true of freedom of speech and
information looks like.”
“As
alternative media sources start reaching out to the masses, there
seems to be a fear among EU elites that they could destroy perfectly
concealed and fabricated truths, shattering the so-called
manufactured consent.”
“The EU
is bound and determined to fight alleged Russian propaganda no matter
what, as if there are no bigger problems for Europe at the moment.
Close to 24 million people in the EU are unemployed, the Greek debt
problem is yet to be resolved and Islamic State is successfully
recruiting European youth, but the only thing EU leaders seem to be
focused on right now is how to counter alleged Russian propaganda. It
was reported previously how Western media corporations follow a
political line cast by Washington and its European allies. In effect,
CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC and others, function as a
global ministry of propaganda.”
“Western
politicians scream about their public being invaded by alleged
Russian propaganda, meanwhile the reality is that the Western public
has long been living under the occupation of an even more powerful
propaganda, otherwise known as Western corporate news media.”

While
the EU and US were occupied with the war against terrorism as well
as with the dead-end wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of
the planet, Putin had all the time to build his own mechanism
against Western propaganda. Being himself a man who had come to
power with the help of media, he built his own media network which
includes, for example, the TV network Russia Today, according to
the Western standards, and "invaded" in millions of
homes in the Western countries using the English language,
promoting however the Russian positions as counterweight to the
Western propaganda monopoly.
