Networks Scramble To Cover Russia Rebellion Amid Press Intimidation And Information Confusion

in news •  last year 

"Networks have scrambled to cover the rebellion in Russia by initially drawing heavily on social media images, foreign policy analysts and correspondents in other countries, while media presence in Moscow has been limited.

On CNN, Wolf Blitzer, enlisted in Saturday morning duty, told viewers that Vladimir Putin was facing “perhaps the boldest threat to his hold on power in Russia in all his 20 plus years leading the country, and the threat actually comes from within Russia,” then turning to Nic Robertson in London."

"Putin is facing an uprising from mercenary chief Yevgeniy Prigozhin, with reports that he has taken control of the city of Rostov-on-Don and that the insurrection was on its way to Moscow. Hours later, Prigozhin said that his forces were stopping and turning back from the city and headed to field camps."
