USA government forces Russia Today, RT America to register as 'FOREIGN AGENT' in the United States Monday 13th November 2017. This via a back door attack on Press Freedom using a law from 1938 for Nazi War Propaganda to counter the massively popular Russia Today News Agency. Russia Today's 'Most Watched News Outlet in the World on YouTube' with 5 billion views.
RT is funded by the Russian Government but ironically, few Russians work for the outlet. RT is mostly broadcast in English with editorial freedom via franchise of mostly American Jewish Anti-Zionist journalists and activists who are silenced on Murdoch and BBC like Max Keiser and Lori Harfinest. RT has become a favourite, particularly of young people as it investigates corporate corruption and challenges 'official' narratives. RT opens a platform to the Right and the Left, the Green, Socialism and Communism and it critical of Corporatism. RT also opens a platform for many Americans who are blacklisted from speaking on USA mainstream media like ex-intelligence personnel and bankers who expose corruption.
RT fosters an attitude of Critical Thinking with its catch phrase 'RT Question More'.
Corporate America's attacks on Freedom of the Press and attacks on First Amendment rights is a long drawn out process that are aimed at Russia Today as 'Cutting the head off the dragon of RT as Freedom of Speech news first then corporations will come after smaller independent news outlets and journalists when RT is shut down" [RT/TeleSUR journalist: Abby Martin] .
Time line of long slow incremental attack on Russia Today

The Helsinki Accords
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki_Accords]
initiated by UK and USA in 1975 for Media Freedom between Eastern Bloc and West are also being compromised by USA 'Foreign Agent' action. This move to silence Russia Today appears to be an orchestrated corporate attack on Press Freedom and Freeodom of Speech worldwide. In August The Sentate passed a Defence Bill with a small clause added "It will be illegal for American Cable Channels to broadcast 'Russian Propaganda' from 2018". The majority of senators did not realised this clause was included and would never have signed this into USA Law.
The censorship by stealth by corporations to silence Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech have serious implications for the population of the world versus 50 oligarchs in this corporotocracy. The corporatocracy is relentless and if the public accept this and do not push back, the corporations will push again and eventually the Orwellian State will be upon us where 1950s Television will be the media and the most innocuous things said Online will become arrestable offences.
