Drudge and Pravda: State-Owned Media Aligning Coverage

authordefault
By Richard Littlemore

Whoever expected to see Matt Drudge promoting Pravda (Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age) as a favored and credible newsย source?

Of course, (sarcasm alert!) Pravdaโ€™s carefully considered and even-handed statesmanship (Obama: Deceiver, Cheat, Swindler, Liar, Fraudster, Con Artist) works well with the Drudge style, regardless that the Russian governmentโ€™s official mouthpiece is better known for wishful thinking (Russia to retrieve its status of worldโ€™s strongest superpower) than believableย reporting.

This, apparently, is the standard to which climate change denial has slipped.

Hat-tip to Crawford Kilian, and generally to commenters who, three days running, have provided links to stories that are worthy of their own DSB headline. Thanks all. Nice to have the comments back on line and especially nice to have people offering information rather than invective.
