Kremlin Cancels All New York Times Subscriptions, Warns Leftist Newspaper Now Prints Lies
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A stunning Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that Deputy Director Maria Zakharova has notified all Federation Departments, Ministries and Embassies that they are to immediately cancel all hardcopy and digital subscriptions to The New York Times as this leftist newspaper publication has now been labeled as “fake news” and is, in fact, to now be considered as propaganda no longer able to be relied upon for truthful or accurate information. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

According to this report, Deputy Director Zakharova, on 22 February, launched a special section on the Ministries main webpage (Published Materials That Contain False Information About Russia) dedicated to “fake news” explaining that its purpose was to counter “bogus propaganda stories” by various media outlets—and stressed that all international media outlets, when providing “unreliable information about Russia”, and do not provide facts, will be listed thereon—adding that: “This is the saddest and probably the most paradoxical element. A great deal of information is published, but never concrete facts.”
