I am interviewed on RT about John Kerry’s appearance on Capitol Hill to demand more money for the US overseas propaganda budget. Kerry is furious that stations like RT are gaining a larger audience in the US and abroad while Washington D.C.’s propaganda is being disregarded. I am no fan of any government-funded media, I told RT, but for the US the problem is the product, not the PR. You can read the text of the interview here.

Partial transcript for those who don't like YouBoob.

"RT’s budget for 2015 is $220 million while the budget of the BBG is $721 million."

. . .

Daniel McAdams: The numbers speak louder than words: $700 and some million versus $200 and some, maybe up to $300 million for RT. I think the problem the US has is they have an unlimited advertising budget, but the product they’re selling is not very attractive overseas. People are tired of US interventionism; they’re tired of US exceptionalism; they’re tired of the US bombing their country – if you’re a Somali, you don’t care about listening to a radio broadcast from the US, you just wish the US would stop bombing you.

But I’ll say one thing: the BBG budget is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how the US government influences media overseas. There’s probably another $100 million in direct support to so-called ‘independent news publications’ overseas, and these are all different newspapers and broadcasting outfits that tow the US line that aren’t directly US-related.

There are also various programs within the US government. There is a program that brought over about a thousand journalists from overseas to come train in the US; this is one of the State Department projects. And just one bureau of the State Department has by their account 86 media programs overseas. Even the $700 million figure… is just a tip of the iceberg on how much the US spends to influence the media overseas. And, sorry, the effect is not very good.

RT: Given what you’ve just said, do you think there will be people in the US government that might disagree with John Kerry?

DM: Yes, then there is a solution- you got to double the money. They want to double the money to sell something that nobody is buying - that is the problem. The problem is the policy, not the PR that tries to sell the policy. In that hilarious clip from Victoria Nuland, she says: “Oh, RT is just a tiny audience and we have a great wonderful diversity in the media in the US.” Sorry, that is not the case. I’m personally not a fan of any government-funded media, but the fact of the matter is that the so-called private media in the US marches lockstep in line with the White House and the State Department, there is no diversity in the mainstream media. So she is just absolutely wrong in what she says.
