Is Pravda helping with a cover-up?
Several versions of this story from various outlets today:
During the US election campaign, Russian state TV bulletins and pro-government newspapers portrayed him as some kind of David taking on the Goliath of a "corrupt… Russia-hating" Washington elite ... Friday's edition of the Russian government paper, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, notes: "Recently the White House has been making many contradictory and incompatible statements about the foreign policy direction of Trump's team, including issues that affect Russia's interests" ... In recent days there has been noticeably less Trump on Russian TV ... Putin's spokesman told the BBC reports of Kremlin meddling were ... "fake news" ...

One popular spin today is: Trump's Russian honeymoon is over
But maybe Russia's state media has been instructed to back off, in hopes folk in the US won't be so easily able to point to glowing Russian coverage of Trump as questions about the Russian connection continue?
And did Putin borrow the term "fake news" from Trump -- or did Trump's Russian friends encourage Trump to use the term?
