RT Deutsch is a website based in Berlin. It is part of the RT network, a global multilingual television news network based in Moscow, funded by the Russian government. The website was launched in late 2014.

History

In 2013, RT started a subsidiary called Ruptly, a TV news agency which is based in Berlin. It has 25 offices around the world (including in Washington, Damascus, London, Madrid, Gaza and Cairo).

On 6 November 2014, RT launched a German-language network. The first German-language broadcast of RT Deutsch was a political magazine Der fehlende Part (The missing part), presented by Jasmin Kosubek. Starting with five shows a week this number was reduced to three in September 2015 and to one show in February 2016.

Programmes

  • Der fehlende Part presented by Jasmin Kosubek[1]
  • 451° presented by Reza Abadi[2]
  • Einmal in Russland[3]

Reception

In Handelsblatt, Andreas Macho concluded after an investigation of the program of the German branch of RT in November 2014: "The bottom line [is that] RT Germany spreads more untruths, reductions and distortions than this - promise as the moderators constantly -. would enlighten".[4] Die Tageszeitung summed up the selection of the interlocutors of the first weeks of RT Deutsch with "either flaming anti-American and European opponents of the left and right margins" together.[5][6] In February 2016 a former employee called RT Deutsch "skilful propaganda" and claimed that they are concentrating on an audience of conspiracy theorists and persons on the far right of the political spectrum.[7]
