Russian state news organization criticizes Reuters article about Kremlin-backed meddling in US election

Moscow, Apr 22 (Reuters)- Russian state news organization Rossiya Segodnya said it objected to a Reuters article it said had falsely claimed that Kremlin-backed media had tried to influence the 2016 US election.
A Reuters spokesperson said the news agency stood by the story which reported exclusively on April 19 that a Russian government think tank controlled by Vladimir Putin had developed a plan to swing the election in favor of Donald Trump by getting several state-backed media outlets to produce positive reports on Trump.
Three current and four former US officials said Kremlin-backed TV channel RT and the Sputnik news agency were among state-backed news outlets which the Kremlin had instructed to weigh in on Trump's side and to try to undermine voters’ faith in the American electoral system.
