An at-home audience in Russia got a real surprise when one a TV news editor went rogue on air.
Russia continues to wage war on Ukraine while billionaire Elon Musk strangely challenged Vladimir Putin to a physical fight. Over on Russian State TV, as well, the overriding tone has been surreal, although in compliance with the Kremlin’s wishes. They also grew absolutely giddy when a Fox News commentator suggested that Ukranians bend over and let Putin do, well, whatever. There’s been solidarity-resistance from the outside world when Anonymous claimed to have hacked into Russian TV stations to air graphic battle footage, but there are cracks coming from within now. Via Meduza editor Kevin Rothrock, here’s a clip of the moment when a then-unidentified woman dashed onto the soundstage of a Channel One broadcast with a sign reading, “Stop the war! Don’t believe propaganda! They’re lying to you here!” Apparently, a woman just ran onto the stage during a Russian state television news broadcast with a sign that said, “Stop the war! Don’t believe propaganda! They’re lying to you here!” pic.
