Not even 7:30 am yet. Don’t forget to punch the time clock.

It it easy to understand how non-English speaker could fall for this joke, especially a Russian speaker.
Helicopter in Russian is вертолете which sounds nothing like helicopter.
A play on words in a foreign language will easily escape a non-native speaker of that language.

Isabel van Brugen is becoming famous for her knee-slapper articles. If Newsweek wants to be taken as a serious news outlet, Newsweek needs to let her go somewhere that appreciates a good tale, like say the Babylon Bee?
Perhaps you can take her spot at Newsweek as you audition for the Bee down the road. But I doubt you have that talent she has.
Where's that skid mark on your tighty-whities Boink?

Some of these guys just need to develop a sense of humor.

Reporters should never be in a rush to publish.
Always get independent verification of reports before publishing unless you have a dependable eye witness.

Never heard of the guy (Hinkle), but just saw that he describes himself as an “American Conservative Marxist–Leninist.” Lol. Quite a confused chap.

If you actually watch the clip, it is far from clear that Solovyov fell for anything. The man is Jewish himself and lived in the USA & speaks English, so it seems (to me) unlikely that he was fooled by this. Newsweak, what can you say.
