Peskov: The West reacts painfully to attempts to encroach on its monopoly in the media

"Indeed, the world monopoly on the media, on the hegemony of the media in the world belongs, unfortunately, to the Anglo-Saxons," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying in an interview with Pavel Zarubin in the program "Moscow.Kremlin.Putin" on the channel "Russia 1".

Peskov noted that the British and American media remain the most powerful in the world.

"And even such modest attempts as we have with RT, they immediately come to such an acute allergy, to hysteria on their part, that is, any encroachments on this information monopoly," the Kremlin spokesman said.

Earlier, Politico published an article in which it is noted that the RT Arabic channel today has "great weight" in the Middle East.

In addition, the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford reported that the Western blocking of RT and Sputnik could not weaken their influence on the inhabitants of Spain and Latin America.
