The financial news site accidentally reported that Russia had invaded Ukraine Friday afternoon with a headline on its homepage.
“Live: Russia invades Ukraine,” read a jarring headline on Bloomberg’s homepage at around 4 p.m.
It stayed up for about 30 minutes, according to Olga Lautman, a Russian analyst who posted the message on social media.
Users who clicked on the eye-popping story — which comes as Russian troops mass on the Ukrainian border and US officials warn of a potential invasion — were shown an error page.
“I went on the site and saw the breaking news but knew it wasn’t real because I deal with Ukraine and will be one of the first to know,” Lautman told The Post. “It is bizarre and a pretty big mistake to make considering this is a potential large scale invasion and everyone is on edge.”

They want it to be true 🤪
8 year old news. Russia invaded Ukraine and stole Crimea in 2014.
That is why the US leftist media is the enemy. They want a war to start so another country can murder patriots since they can not get it done themselves.
Oops.
World War III was an accident, started by a fake website headline.
To which Bloomberg news replied, “Sorry.”

[Sounds like something out of the Babylon Bee.]
yellow journalism at its best. I would not be surprised if Newsday printed this, but BLOOMBERG????
I hear the newspaper drums beating, but they don’t have “the battleship Maine” this time.
These leftist fishwraps are going to get us all killed, “President Jill” does not have (T.G.!!) the authority to access the launch codes!!
The mass media screams “fake news” while they do fake news.
DEWEY BEATS TRUMAN
Putin is going to win this just by being the only adult in town.
Biden will come out looking like the crooked oaf that he is; the Leftards will all be standing around screeching “invade now! do something bad!”; and the Ookrainians will be caught in the middle trying to salvage their economy after Slo Jo destroys it crying wolf.
I find it hard to believe, that they did this accidentally.
Good thing stock market had just closed.
It’s like “Dewey beats Truman.”
The story was pre-written and accidentally posted. My guess.
The state run western media isn’t even trying to be original here.
Picture it starting when some office of lower rank hears admiral saying, “ If he fires one, we fire back.”
Democrat lapdog propaganda media commits Ukrainian false flag, NOT russia!
RE: oops

I really do not want Dr.Strangelove to stop being a fictional book and movie.
And another one was Independence Day when the two good guys sneaked into the control area of the alien space battle vehicle.
Hiller: Oops (signal sends vehicle backwards by mistake)
Levinson : W-what do you mean, oops?
Hiller : Some jerk put this...
[Turns the piece of paper round]
...the wrong way round.
Levinson : Don’t say “oops”.
Hiller : What do you say we try that again?
Levinson : Yes, yes. Yes. Without the “oops”. Thataway.
[Points forward]
On Jeopardy last night thet had Ukraine as a category. Coincidence? I think not.
Reported in error or they got an exclusive advance copy and just posted it early?
How can one possibly “unintentionally” make such an “error”?
