Former Prigozhin media employees describe how the anti-Ukraine propaganda was made
Hot Air ^ | July 18, 2023 | John Sexton

One of the minor outcomes of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s March for Justice on Moscow was that, after he was banished to Belarus, his media empire was shut down. Now there are reports that former employees, who are no longer covered by NDAs, are speaking up about how the propaganda was actually made.

(snip)

There are apparently a long string of fake reports which were later debunked, designed to anger the populace back home. One infamous story claimed that Ukrainian nationalists had crucified a 3-year-old. This was claimed by an alleged witness who was interviewed back in 2014.

"Pretending to be an eye-witness, she described a heart-breaking story about a three-year-old child being crucified by Ukrainian nationalists in front of his mother’s eyes in the city of Slovyansk. The unconscious mother was then tied to a tank and driven around the square.

The story was one of the peaks of the Kremlin-orchestred campaign targeted at inciting hatred against Ukrainians. Journalists from Novaya Gazeta debunked the story within 24 hours, and other testimonies disproving the Channel One’s lie appeared, among them one from Ukrainian Stopfake."

Hot Air, and especially Neocons like John Sexton, writing about Ukraine propaganda is the height of propaganda but typical of what I’ve read over the past 16 months.

Just making sure that a single standard is applied to all posters, and is equally enforced. Comprende?

Sí, serpiente, lo entiendo. I know it gets wearisome being deluged by the pro-Russian propaganda posts by unemployed Russian commercial airline pilots.

Have you been assigned this responsibility, or is this internally driven?

Is this the best Ukrainian propaganda you can come up with?

NATO’s popularity with all our western neighbours who have elections remains a complete mystery that cannot be explained without CIA mind control technology.

Internally driven. Timber and a few others have an apparent obsession with the neo-con warmonger media news stories/propaganda. They are shared with a religious fervor that is plain for all to see.

Ridiculous russian propaganda

Yah, it's not fair for Zelensky to deprive Russians from vacationing on Ukrainian property during wartime.

I've noticed that. It's as if propaganda about a 'victorious Ukraine' can substitute for the crushing battlefield losses they are suffering.

I’m participating in your thread.

That's certainly strange, considering your angry reaction yesterday when I reminded you about the rules after you told my good friend MeganC to "keep her yap shut."

So why do you feel compelled to "participate" in each and everyone of my threads if you are so thin skinned?
