Russia censoring many Western news outlets:


I see the NYTimes is included, to their everlasting credit.

That makes quite a contrast. While Russian state TV is translating Fox News into Russian for its viewers, it's censoring the NYTimes.

Which one do you get your news from?
 
Tucker Carlson featured on Russian state television.....


iu
 
Russia shutting down Facebook.

 
These come as a response to a lot of Russia-related censorship in the West, particularly the EU.


Western censorship, western disinformation and false claims of disinformation by Russia, are the norm these days.

The West should have banned RT and Sputnik long ago.

Kremlin-owned propaganda outlets.

It's only propagandists that want media banned! There's close to zero propaganda on RT - nearly everything is verifiable, while allegedly "private" outlets like CNN are full of filthy propaganda!

Uh-huh. Sure.

I don't have a dog in this fight other than protecting free expression from government censorship and coercion. Obviously, the Russian state has little respect for such western ideas and shown various ways to squelch it - the most obvious of which, even the most brain-dead Russia supporter knows, is the frequent murder by state security of journalists. 47 murdered since the fall of communism.

The NYT, BBC, and others are being limited or shut down for obvious reasons, they provide facts and opinion that put Putin and his gang in a bad light. When the Russian state tells you, for example, to call it a "special military operation" and not "a war", and you don't obey, there are consequences.

Thankfully, of late at least they haven't murdered any western media journalists...yet!

Tucker Carlson clips are NOT Fox News. Please keep your "facts" straight.

Correct. I doubt the Russians are translating the military guests who claim that Russia made a serious blunder, is taking losses, and bogged down. And I certainty doubt they are translating Griffin's reporting, which often debunks Tucker, among others.

Russians' cherry picks the commentators and specific statements and tell their gullible people that this is what most Americans believe.

Oh right. He merely holds down one of the most prized prime time slots on Fox "News." Other than that, you'd hardly even know he worked there.
 
Wow, Putin must really be sweating...

Bloomberg News and the BBC said their correspondents in Russia could no longer freely report because of the new censorship law signed by Mr. Putin on Friday, which effectively criminalized independent journalism on the invasion of Ukraine. Under the legislation, which could take effect as early as Saturday, journalists who simply describe the war as a “war” could be sentenced to prison.
 
Uh-huh. Sure.


Absolutely! This is what we get in the EU:

I had to go to great lengths to even see the static screenshot. It says "ultra-nationalists take center stage during Ukraine chaos" - which was during the 2014 "maidan"
It's true and verifiable!

In the years leading up to the Ukrainian independence in 1991 Parubiy was an independence activist and was arrested for organizing an unsanctioned rally in 1989.[7] In 1991 he founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine together with Oleh Tyahnybok;[11] the party combined radical nationalism and some neo-Nazi features (by its name and the "Wolfsangel"-like sign).[7][12][13] In 1998–2004 Parubiy led the paramilitary organization of SNPU, the Patriot of Ukraine.[13] Parubiy left these organizations in 2004.[12]

Parubiy participated in the Orange Revolution in 2004.[7][14] In the 2007 parliamentary elections he was voted into the Ukrainian parliament on an Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc ticket. He then became a member of the deputy group that would later become For Ukraine!.[7] Parubiy stayed with Our Ukraine and became a member of its political council.[15]
[...]
From December 2013 to February 2014 Parubiy was a commandant of Euromaidan.[19] He was coordinator of the volunteer security corps for the mainstream protesters.[20] He was then appointed Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine.[8] This appointment was approved by (then) new Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on June 16, 2014.[21]


As for the dumbass anchor that resigned live, she had zero evidence of anything false presented on RT, on the contrary she brought false accusations without evidence - good riddance, likely a CIA insert
