Russia Today is spinning the Moore-scandal as the "establishment" attacking a real Republican.

Finally, after many days of pretending that the story is a non-story, RT has finally come around to writing one article about Moore. One.
RT loves to portray the US in a bad light and jumps on any scandal, outrage and embarassment happening in the US. (They love writing about poverty, drugs, police-brutality...)
Except for Moore.
They somehow ignored Moore.
They have a local story how undercover-cops got into a brawl with each other, but they ignored the national story that is Moore.

Now they have finally reported on Moore and... the article has a narrative of "establishment"-Republicans attacking a "real" Republican.

Plus the usual half-truths:
No mention that it's not just the 5 accusers.
No mention that his former colleagues said that it was common knowledge that he prefered young girls.
No mention that the Gadsen Mall banned him for creeping on teenage-girls.




You can find the article if you want to. I'm not linking to it.

The Russian government only wants to sow discord in the US.
