Particularly when political candidates are involved and the subject matter could be germane to a national election.The current outbreak of hostile propaganda and pressure on RT happens in the UK, and no potential candidates for any UK election are involved. I mean, I can understand why certain parties in the US want to stop wikileaks, but the US is not the UK, and RT is not wikileaks.
I have not even noticed that RT was using the wikileaks revelations more aggressive than other media. Also the hightened state of anti-russian propaganda can be witnessed in Germany and other European states, albeit not as drastic as in the UK.
Do you really think that this strong connection between the propaganda against Russia, wikileaks and the US elections exist?
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
