“Guess he’s working on another one.”

Is he? Do journalists get awards from Putin for telling the truth? And, if so, doesn’t that say something about journalism as it is practiced in the West (Switzerland is in the West) that telling the truth is so rare it is worthy of awards?

Was your post meant to cast doubt as to the journalist’s objectivity? Did you want people to doubt the article’s veracity because 5 years ago Putin gave the journalist an award for something? Your post stated that the man is “working on” getting another one by telling the truth about Zelensky?

Disagree with the content of the article if you think it is inaccurate, but exacerbating the rampant Russophobia here on FR just contributes to the indoctrinated bigotry that this forum is drowning in.

It is why intelligent conversations on FR are rare.

Guess you’re working toward a medal, too, huh?

Monsieur Mettan has been referred to as a militant Russian propagandist by the internationally-acclaimed Reporters Without Borders and the Swiss investigative magazine Republik referred to one of his recent articles as a “breathtaking compendium” of Russian propaganda. He is also a Russian citizen.

Peddling lies, half-truths, and character assassinations like Mettan will surely get you something from Dear Tsar Vlad, too. Good luck!
