Russia Today, the Kremlin-financed English-language news network, took over C-SPAN’s primary online feed for roughly 10 minutes on Thursday afternoon.

“We do not believe we were hacked,” the network said late Thursday in a statement via Twitter. “Instead, our initial investigation suggests that this was caused by an internal routing error. We take our network security very seriously and will continue with a deeper investigation.”

The network noted that the mishap — which occurred during a speech by U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) around 2:30 p.m. ET — “did not affect C-SPAN’s television broadcast.” Instead, it was a disruption in one of the network’s online feed which was “briefly interrupted by a signal carrying the RT network (which we regularly monitor, along with many other news feeds).”

Russia Today is financed and run by the Russian government.

Check out the moment this occurred:VIDEO



We all joked in a When in Rome thread yesterday; about the lights going out being THE RUISSIANS!

What in the frick of fricks of all fricks? The black out of Pompeos hearing was the guys working on the Inauguration platforms. This was, the Russians?

Wow, propaganda machine in full effect, do they really think that people will believe that it was a result of signal interference? Since I have a back ground in online live streaming, I can tell you that this is almost impossible, the only was I can see it happening is if CSPN got interrupted by CSPN 2 do to bad coding or to messed up configuration/wrong inputs.

This was without a doubt a hack.

Yeah and Tom Hartman, Ed Shultz as well as any other American who hosts a show on RT are Russian pawns because they are being used by the Russians to spread anti-American propaganda.

Now that we know RT is the political propaganda show for the Russians, it should not be allowed to be aired in the USA.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was compromised by our own government with all this Russia hysteria being pushed by them. Just more anti-Russian propaganda.

The Obama administration will go down as one of the most corrupt administrations in history.

And not from thousands of miles away either. You can't take over a feed without proximate, physical interaction.

Would anyone outside the 5 or 10 online cpan viewers have known this happened if cspan hadn't put out a press release?
