Russia strike back declares 9 US media channels as foreign agents

After US intelligence agencies have accused Russian Channel RT of being involved in a campaign of Russian interference in US Presidential elections last year, Russia have declared US media outlets as 'foreign agents'.

Russia has declared nine US media outlets as foreign agents including the Voice of America and Radio Liberty.

To declare US media as foreign agents in retaliation for the US justice ordering Russian channels RT and Sputnik to register as foreign agents there, a new law was made in a rush, in Russian Parliament last month.

After being declared foreign the media outlets will have to declare their source of funding.
