CNN International, the global arm of CNN, ABC and CBS News will stop broadcasting in Russia, after the Kremlin introduced a new law in the country that could jail anyone intentionally spreading 'fake' news.
Bloomberg News, the BBC and Canada's CBC also said they were temporarily suspending the work of their journalists inside Russia.
Russian officials have said that false information has been spread by enemies such as the United States and its Western European allies in an attempt to sow discord among the Russian people.

I’ve been doing a jig since I heard this. The alphabet soup media is the mouthpiece of the global humanism project.
of coarse they did because they are not real journalists just puppet heads that do what they are told. The defiant inquisitive truth finders are no more
12 years for fake news? Now, why didn’t we think of that!
Last I checked, the President of the United States had been banned from social media. So the pot calls the kettle black doesn’t it?
I guess it’s ok when the globalists Censor all opposing views in the west and seize or freeze bank account (Canadians, General Flynn) and lock protestors up for over a year with no fair and speedy trial much less grant bond, lie about EVERything… that’s all ok when we do it - right.
Lucky Russians.
“That should make the Putinistas very happy.”
Very much so. Russia says that Fake News is now illegal and CNN IMMEDIATELY announces they’re out, and now the rest of the networks announce the same. Seems their purpose there, propaganda, will no longer be tolerated by Russia.
“4 March: Rumble: 25m48s: Ukraine Neo-Nazis Infiltrate EVERY LEVEL Of Military & Government
The Jimmy Dore Show with The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal discuss reports of neo-Nazis in Ukraine are not at all exaggerated...”
The networks are WELCOME to run stories on the above...why don’t they, as it was one of the two pretenses that Putin gave for attacking?
.........same here! No TV for around 10 years. When it got to be half commercials and half uber liberal sit coms, that was THE END.
Looks like its already paying off for Russia. How do we get them to stop broadcasting in the USA?
“That should make the Putinistas very happy.”
I can’t help thinking you’re trolling us. We’ve spent over a year being lectured by the media, AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, that Trump is LYING when he says that the 2020 election was stolen. The media has been saying that from the moment that Biden was declared the winner.
That is FAKE NEWS, and it’s horrific to have to deal with in any society, the US or Russia. They literally have NO EVIDENCE that Trump is lying. At best they can say that Trump is CLAIMING that the election was stolen.
We know they LIE TO OUR FACES every day, so why should Putin put up with it, when he has options.
By the way, you might want to read Russia Times (funded by the Russian government), they have PLENTY of anti-Russia articles, such as the following right now:
PayPal shuts down operations in Russia
Luxury brands halt sales in Russia
Twitch halts payments for Russian streamers
American Formula One team axes Russian star and sponsors
Twitch halts payments for Russian streamers
American Formula One team axes Russian star and sponsors
US unveils Russia oil and gas sanctions plan
The above are all moves to isolate Putin and demoralize the Russian Public. Of course you now need a VPN to reach Russia Times, since the US is blocking it.
But Russia Times also as an article called:
“Leading experts warned NATO expansion would lead to conflict. Why did no one listen?”
“Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, one of the most widely regarded American strategic thinkers of all time, said in a 2014 op-ed that “Ukraine should not join NATO.” This is because it would make Ukraine a theater in an East-West confrontation. He said that “to treat Ukraine as part of an East-West confrontation would scuttle for decades any prospect to bring Russia and the West – especially Russia and Europe – into a cooperative international system.”
There are many others, including former US Secretary of Defense William Perry, Russian-American journalist Vladimir Pozner Jnr., economist Jeffrey Sachs, former United Nations Under-Secretary-General Pino Arlacchi, former CIA director Bill Burns, former US Secretary of Defense Bob Gates and others listed by Arnaud Bertrand in a great Twitter thread on this topic.”
Why is only Russia Times reporting this? Where is the Western media?
ABCNBCCBS and the rest wouldn't know the truth if it stood up and punched them in the mouth anyway, so why bother being there?
Direct proof that the leftist media purposely lies and millions of useful idiots believe every word.
Well, if Russia is locking up journalists then CNN, ABC, and CBS should have nothing to worry about.
Is Edward Snowden still blogging?
Asking for a friend.
so it looks like the well-known spreaders of fake news are leaving. Too bad we can’t do that here, where the fountainhead of fake news operates with impunity.
Bkmk
Nah.
More interestingly though... did Putin just kind of say “The media lies, the media dies”.
Just a little bit?
Too bad we can’t get them to stop broadcasting here. 😆
” new law in the country that could jail anyone intentionally spreading ‘fake’ news. “
maybe we need a law like that here in the U.S. ...
