The Russian parliament has ordered an investigation into U.S. media organizations, including CNN and the Voice of America, “for compliance of their activities with Russian legislation,” according to a statement made on its website Friday. The State Duma, or lower house in Russian parliament, ordered an “audit” of Radio Liberty, the Voice of America, CNN, and other U.S. media to see if they are breaking any of the nation’s laws, USA Today reported.
The decision was reportedly made in retaliation against a bill introduced by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) earlier this week that would allow the Department of Justice to use more tools to investigate state-owned Russian media outlet RT America for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
“We have good reason to believe that RT News is coordinating with the Russian government to spread misinformation and undermine our democratic process,” said Shaheen in a press release. “The American public has a right to know if this is the case. RT News has made public statements boasting that it can dodge our laws with shell corporations, and it’s time for the Department of Justice to investigate.”
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the the Russian Foreign Ministry, criticized Shaheen’s bill, saying that the senator should have also drawn up a list of books for burning, Reuters reports.
Margarita Simonyan, RT’s editor-in-chief, told the Russian newspaper Izvestia that the legislative action to investigate the state-owned news outlet was akin to Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s campaign against communism in the 1950s.

To be reframed on CNN news later as...
“Trump demands Russia investigate American news companies.”
I’m telling you these left wing zealots are trying to start a war.
There is no level too low for these rascals.
As well they should. They are international criminal organizations.
Don’t even know why we still fund Voice of America. They became a liberal anti-American media outlet some years ago.
Nice. Hopefully Russia locks up some of them.

Hasn’t the left already done that, figuratively at least (if not in reality). Think about books that accurately described US history, for example.
Obama and our media turned against Russia ALMOST TO THE DAY after Russia passed laws protecting children from gay recruitment (not outlawing sodomy, only telling them to keep clear of kids).
That was all it took. They use Ukraine as an excuse, but they had already turned against Russia before Crimea.
I’ve said many times on here that it all went back to Obama being told not to flap his purple lips about gays when he went to Russia.
I believe there have been a number of book burnings at Berkeley. Books by western authors.
Particularly, White, Western authors.
