The conspiratorial nature of Russian Television News

[Cha]

10. "Did you know that the crash of MH17 was all part of an American conspiracy to provoke a big war

with Russia?"

"Well, it’s all true—at least if you live in Russia, because this is the Malaysia Airlines crash story that you’d be seeing."

another snip from your link..

"But in Russia, television—most of it owned or controlled by the Kremlin—is trying to muddy the water with various experts who insist that there is no way that an SA-11 missile system could possibly have downed a plane flying that high. And, mind you, this is not part of a larger debate of could they, or couldn’t they; this is all of Russian television and state-friendly papers pushing one line: the pro-Russian separatists we’ve been supporting all these months couldn’t have done this. Watching some of these Russian newscasts, one comes away with the impression of a desperate defense attorney scrounging for experts and angles, or a bad kid caught red-handed by the principal, trying to twist his way out of a situation in which he has no chance."
