CNN is out of Russia, right after Putin signed a new law where if someone “false reports about the military”, they can be sent to jail. BBC and Bloomberg also bailed on Russia. If CNN and these other propaganda networks were all telling the truth about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, why would they be so scared and have to leave? Oh.. right.
Of course what Putin deems “fake news” about the Russian military may not be fake news. But other media companies and there are hundreds in Russia right now haven’t bailed on the country since the signing of the new law. Seems CNN, Bloomberg and BBC are awfully afraid of something. Scumbag fake news jackwagons.
Several media outlets stopped their operations in Russia as Russian President Vladimir Putin took action against journalists.
As Fox News reported, on Friday, Putin signed a measure into law that would put journalists in jail for publishing information that goes against officials’ statements concerning the Russian war in Ukraine.
“Under the new law, reporters face up to 15 years in prison if they report what authorities deem as false reports about the military. The legislation was passed by both chambers of the Russian parliament,” the outlet noted.
“CNN will stop broadcasting in Russia while we continue to evaluate the situation and our next steps moving forward,” CNN said in a statement, per The Hill.
