MOSCOW: One by one, the American media refuse to support any candidate for president of the country, because both Donald Trump from the Republican Party and Kamala Harris from the Democrats have the seal "Russian", said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
"American newspapers and media owners are systematically refusing to support any candidate in the US election. This time, they can’t support anyone because both candidates are labeled 'Russian,'" Zakharova said. "The US media has tagged [Donald] Trump in this way, spinning stories for nearly ten years. Meanwhile, [Russian President] Putin has expressed support for [Kamala] Harris’ candidacy. As a result, the media landscape in the US is divided and has led itself into a dead end," the spokeswoman added.
"I’ve always wondered, on what basis, in a democratic society as Washington claims to be, would the independent media pledge allegiance not to the sitting president but to a candidate? Isn’t that biased journalism? Isn’t it akin to asset allocation in futures? Isn’t it direct influence on the audience under the guise of a plurality of opinion?" the diplomat continued.
The general presidential election in the United States is set for November 5, where former President Donald Trump will contest the presidency as the Republican nominee against Democratic candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris.
"The American media industry itself appointed Trump as such, having been inventing tall tales for almost 10 years. And Harris promised to support [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. That's why the information mainstream in the States has been torn up. They have driven themselves into a dead end."
