Remember the Stone Age Press saying the Taliban was preparing for a Spring/Summer offensive in Afghanistan? Remember how doomed out troops were going to be? Wrong again Pravda.A common statement, roughly transliterated from Russian, during the Soviet era was:
“There is no truth in Pravda [Russian for ’truth’]. There is no news in Izvestiya [Russian for ’news’—the official newspaper]”
Sounds about right.

Pravda Ne Izvestiya, Ivestiya ne Pravda.
There is no truth in the news, there is no news in the truth.
