Abstract
The convergence of strategic narratives from U.S. President Donald Trump and the Kremlin created historic opportunities for Russia’s global propaganda war. This could not have happened without Trump, who has been aided and abetted by politicians and U.S. news outlets, such as Fox, that favor propaganda over information. Through the 2020 election, the Stop the Steal conspiracy, and the Capitol insurrection, Russians found myriad ways to publicize the end of American democracy and the rise of Russia. Identifying and tracking four key Russian strategic narratives—democracy is flawed and failing, resurgent Russia, protecting Russians abroad, and the West is out to destroy Russia—allows us to better understand how Russian propaganda finds echoes in U.S. news. Despite knowledge of the risk and resourceful work by analysts and journalists in tracking down Russian propaganda in the United States, the problem of foreign disinformation continues to this day and played a key role in Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Our analysis deploys both traditional political communications methods such as content analysis as well as computational methods to leverage our insights at a greater scale. Detecting foreign propaganda in U.S. news is a critical task for democracy. At the same time, we need to understand a dangerous menace lies not just in how foreign governments attempt to manipulate the media, but in how the U.S. media system has been compromised by domestic actors who follow an authoritarian playbook.
