a ridiculous conspiracy theory
BTW- a search for Russian TV tells me that this is NOT a major TV network
This network was established very recently and came to prominence for pushing Kremlin line in covering event in Ukraine. Part of Putin’s new and improved propaganda scheme. It has quickly became very prominent in areas where Kremlin wants hard hitting direct media misinformation. It doesn’t seem to have any human interest programs - only propaganda. No TV-personalities with ego also, so they are sure to do what they are told.
