Newsmax ^ | June 3, 2022 | Nicole Wells

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Friday that it was calling a meeting with U.S. media outlet leaders in Moscow to inform them of the coming response to U.S. restrictions on Russian media, Reuters reports.

"If the work of the Russian media — operators and journalists — is not normalized in the United States, the most stringent measures will inevitably follow," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"To this end, on Monday, June 6, the heads of the Moscow offices of all American media will be invited to the press center of the Russian Foreign Ministry to explain to them the consequences of their government's hostile line in the media sphere," she continued. "We look forward to it."

The Western motivation for this kerfuffle:

Russia ... has established 15-year prison sentences for journalists intentionally spreading "fake" news about its so-called "special military operation."

Eastern Russian officials secured their first conviction under this law on Monday against someone who posted videos to a social media page, the Washington Examiner reports.

Of course Newsmax and Nicole Wells would fall under this law.

Oh, wouldn’t that be delicious! Some left-wing “journalist” in prison for 15 years. Maybe they’d support free speech after that. See Tagline.

“Eastern Russian officials secured their first conviction under this law on Monday against someone who posted videos to a social media page, the Washington Examiner reports.”

Liberals plan to do this here.

In the US, we send them back home to Russia while Russia throws journalists in prison.

As always, you prefer Russia.

We wouldn’t have any Mainstream Media if Fake News was outlawed.

Well, Liberals are already doing it here, with one little difference, the people Liberals destroyed and jailed here are telling the Truth.

Ahh, not really, we throw a lot of 'em in prison, with the exception of Occupy Wall Street, Antifa and BLM.

...while Russia throws journalists in prison.

Yeah, ... "Journalists", ... not enough of 'em get thrown in prison, considering the damage they cause, Russia could do better.

As always, I prefer what's Right, even if it is Rough.

Another conflict between Zelensky and his top General. And if Zelensky can’t be talked out of it by Zaluzhny there will be a lot of bloodshed...:-(


Yuriy Podolyaka: War in Ukraine (06/03/22 at 21:00): Battle for Donbass - Zelensky forbade the surrender of Severodonetsk

Zelensky, canceled the order of the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny to surrender Severodonetsk, and ordered to keep the city to the end. And for this, the transfer of reserves from the Kramatorsk region has been hastily begun.

And all this dooms the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area to a bloody battle with a predetermined result...

If Russia would throw some of the “journalists” in the US corporate media in prison, I’d celebrate.

Actually, most US "Journalists" strongly support the "Free Speech For Me, But Not For Thee" doctrine.

And your tagline is accurate.
