Russias state-run media is gung-ho for Tulsi Gabbard. Joe Biden? Not so much.
Thats according to a new report released Tuesday by a research team at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. The FPRI team parsed through 1,711 Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik News articles from Jan. 1 to Nov. 10 that pertained to the 2020 U.S. presidential election, then analyzed if the coverage of candidates was favorable, unfavorable, or neutral.
Both RT and Sputnik are funded by the Russian government, and theyve been cited by the U.S. intelligence community as playing an insidious role promoting Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
Among the 20-plus Democrats in the 2020 primary field during the period covered in the new report, Gabbard received far and away the most positive coverage, according to FPRI. Forty-six percent of her coverage was favorable, 44 percent was neutral, and just 10 percent was unfavorable. Compare that to Biden: Just 3 percent of the coverage was favorable vs. 53 percent unfavorable. He was also brought up by the Russian media a whopping 331 times, which was 127 more mentions than the next-closest candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders.
