Fact check
Money power in private hands controls America's media. They're a platform for managed and junk food news. Dissent in America is an endangered species. On US television, it's entirely absent, and little appears in corporate controlled print.
In contrast, Iran's Press TV, Russia Today and Voice of Russia air diverse discussions and opinions on major global issues. US viewers can access them online to stay current and well-informed, free of Western propaganda America's media feature.
Putin is one of the few world leaders with backbone enough to challenge US lawlessness. As a result, America's media pillory him instead of explaining destructive US policies threatening humanity's survival.
Russian officials "turn(ed) up the heat on Golos (Russian for 'voice'), an independent group of election monitors largely funded by US and other Western groups."
Fact check
Golos gets National Endowment for Democracy funding. It supports regime change in Venezuela, Syria, Iran and other non-US client states. It backs opposition groups, conducts propaganda campaigns, and does openly what CIA operative do covertly to destabilize sitting governments.
Its mission is subverting, not promoting democracy. It operates with State Department funding and direction. It serves US imperial interests destructively against targeted countries.
So do USAID and the National Democratic Institute (NDI). They meddle internally against sitting governments. One way is by funding Golos. It calls itself a Russian NGO established in 2000 to defend democratic rights and civil liberties. It's Russia's only allegedly "independent" electoral watchdog.
