"The Russians are just wiping the city out," he said Monday.

Why do I think she might accidently fall off a balcony tonight?

Also, when can we get someone to do the same thing on Tucker Carlson's show?

Good luck finding anyone at Goebbels News that has a moral compass....

This guy brings up some points about the incident on TV. Mainly about the intended audience, since the big letters on top are in English.



And if it is true their state TV isn't live, kinda suspicious they would let this on the air.

The reports I am seeing indicate that this was during their nightly live broadcast, and she was arrested shortly after.

Anyone thinking this was some 4th dimensional chess move by Russian propaganda media is deluding themselves. She was in court this morning.

Pierre Zakrzewski, a cameraman for Fox News, was killed while working in Ukraine, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott announced to employees in a memo on Tuesday morning.

Of course Tucker will blame President Biden

Listening to several reporters, it seems fairly certain that journalists are being deliberately targeted, just like civilians are being deliberately targeted.

UPDATE:
Ovsyannikova was fined 30,000 rubles (~$280 at current exchange rate). No jail sentence

Marina Ovsyannikova in court with her lawyer today

That seems a little light, but she probably had to pay in real rubles that she earned before the ruble crashed..

I am honestly surprised she can see the light of day.

[Suranis]

Yes. *shrug* Honestly if it is some kind of disinfo psi-op, it's so stupidly convoluted that it seems just designed to get people arguing about it, so I'm not going to. Much more important things to think about.

Latest reports I've been seeing since yesterday list 2,500 civilian deaths in Mariupol.

Deputy mayor of Mariupol confirms that hospital #2 has been captured by Russian war criminals holding everyone hostage. This is beyond horrific and such terrorist tactics.

And Mariupol is suffering the worst humanitarian crisis because Russian war criminals have trapped residents for over a week and they have no medicine, food, electricity, heat, etc. this is a nightmare with hundreds of thousands in danger of dying

Donetsk Oblast Governor: Russia takes patients, medical staff hostage in Mariupol.

Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko says Russian troops entered a hospital on the outskirts of Mariupol.

“Russians drove 400 people from neighbouring houses to the hospital and they can’t leave,” he said.

My hometown Volnovakha.
I was born at this hospital.
Now it’s officially denazified and liberated by Russia.

That seems unbelievable to me, too.

[Gregg]

The report I saw said it was 300 rubles and I thought that had to be a mistake. A fine of almost $3? Where is she gonna get three bucks?

It does seem strange that they are putting people in prison for 15 years for calling it a war, and she gets a fine.

I like Russian music. Growing up, I heard the Soviet Army Chorus a lot. My dad loved them.

The inevitable Hitler meme was perfect!

[AndyinPA]

As soon as I saw that, it made me think of a made-for-TV, starring Keifer Sutherland as Hitler. I wonder if that was it?

That was from "Downfall."

Off Topic

Yeah, I think I saw that. Also, I can't find that Kiefer Sutherland ever played Hitler. I think I'm thinking of the movie with Anthony Hopkins. Thanks for the info.

[p0rtia]

That was quite seriously brilliant.

Been waiting for that
