The Russian propaganda site Sputnik NewsThe Local · 27 Jul 2016, 09:42Published: 27 Jul 2016 08:42 GMT+02:00Updated: 27 Jul 2016 09:42 GMT+02:00Sweden is being subjected to constant disinformation campaigns by Russia and Isis, according to authorities. The Russian propaganda channels RT and Sputnik News are also important channels for fake news. The pattern now is that they pump out a constant narrative that in some respects is negative for Sweden,” Tofvesson said. The warning in Sweden comes as Russia's alleged attempts to say the US presidential campaign have come into the spotlight. Russian hackers are alleged to have compromised the Democratic National Committee's email accounts in an attempt to discredit Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
