CNN Pulls Out of Russia After New 'Fake News' Law Promises Harsh Punishment Empty CNN Pulls Out of Russia After New 'Fake News' Law Promises Harsh Punishment

Russia’s new law that could imprison journalists for 15 years for writing what the government considers “fake news” has led multiple media outlets to pull their reporters out of Russia.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Friday signed a new law that cracks down on what the Russian government sees as false information about the military. Anyone who calls for sanctions against the country could be punished as well, according to The Verge.

One example cited by The Washington Post is that the word “invasion” cannot be used in the context of the attack on Ukraine, with the government insisting it be called a “special military operation.”

“Literally by tomorrow, this law will force punishment — and very tough punishment — on those who lied and made statements which discredited our armed forces,” Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of Russia’s State Duma legislature, said.

The law will allow Russia, which has already banned Facebook, to control what it knows about reverses and casualties in Ukraine.

Wartime censorship of the news, is historically universal. Even by American authorities.

The fake outrage by nooze liars, is not worth considering. Vlad is being backed into a corner - he's not going to let the true enemy, or the enemy's puppets, put out false propaganda.
