(Worthy News) – Two independent news outlets who have refused to toe the Kremlin’s line following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were forced off the air this week.
Russian authorities accused Ekho Moskvy, one of the country’s oldest radio stations, and Dozhd, Russia’s top independent TV channel, of “false information regarding the actions of Russian military personnel as part of a special operation” in Ukraine.
Alexei Venediktov, editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, wrote that the accusations “are not supported by any examples, any evidence… are unfounded and insulting to journalists and citizens of Russia,” adding that the order will be challenged in court. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
