Putin's state TV stooges use picture of a RUSSIAN resort to show life 'returning to normal' in occupied Ukrainian city of Kherson

Vladimir Putin's state TV stooges have been caught out using a picture of a Russian resort to show how life was apparently 'returning to normal' in an occupied Ukrainian city.

The NTV channel has been accused of 'lies' over its report into the 'normality' of life in Kherson after it misleadingly illustrated its report with a picture of a totally different place - Yeysk in Russia, some 400 miles away.

The staunchly pro-Kremlin channel claimed that Kherson, held by Putin's invaders, is calm and peaceful despite the war raging in Ukraine.

In reality, Russian troops were greeted with raging protests when they invaded the city while pictures show how parts of the city have been reduced to rubble.

Russia and GQP are joined into destroying democracy.

4. Several times????

How about almost daily???


Remember when one republican would say or do some stupid shit and they would put a (D) next to their name?

Like the palm trees in the 2011 protest footage “in Madison, WI.” 🌴

9. Me too!

I still have my inflatable palm tree from the protests. 😬🌴

In fact, on that last night when we finally left the Capitol occupation, I was helping to cut gigantic palm trees out of construction paper to decorate the rotunda. I really wanted to stay to finish the project!

3. Next up, Mariupol 'returning to normal'

[dalton99a]

5. Yep.

6. Sometimes I wonder how we can co-exist on this planet with them

Then I realize it’s ok, we’re on different planets.

10. A century of propagandizing in Russia

is bad enough, but I suspect Pooty & Co. were further emboldened by the widespread acceptance of TFG's years of continuous bullshit in the "free world." Millions of Murcans will believe anything they want to believe even without a century of "grooming."


All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
