Russian state TV spins Global News exclusive into propaganda targeting Canada

Russia-1, a top state broadcaster, has raised Canadian eyebrows by picking up a Global News exclusive about Ontario armoured vehicle manufacturer Roshel making an impact in Ukraine.

However, it was in the way the story was presented that has led to controversy about its propagandic nature.

Global's Mike Drolet examines how the Kremlin is using the story to accuse Canada of playing a "very active part" in the war.

Omg just like global .. no way .. mirror mirror on the wall .. wow

The cognitive dissonance it takes for Global to (unironically)state this title is quite substantial…

Russian state TV is serving up some of the very best comedy of the 2020s right now. It really is way ahead of anywhere else in the world in terms of sheer wit. And isn't a Russian "drinking problem" just a code word meaning that the off-license is closed?

The last quote is brilliant. "Who created the propaganda in the first place?" XD

[sheldonhall]

Just have to say Global interviewed a neighbour of mine and they twisted it too. Rearranged the questions and completely changed the context of the conversation for their propaganda. So Global STFU

Propaganda inside propaganda about propagandist nations.

[Dracoool]

Globull does a great job of spinning their own propaganda on a daily basis.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Global talking about propaganda?? ..Global, the spin experts*

[guestuser]

Canadian propaganda about Russian propaganda. The Irony.

There is no such thing as impartial fact based journalism in MSM Canada.

[SaintMartins]

[mondayjoker]

Look at the pot calling the kettle black..

What’s wrong Global? You can spin stories but they can’t? Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot doesn’t it? What about your cousins at CBC and CTV?

this defence minister's actions are not helping to bring peace to the region.

[firstandforemost]

As opposed to our totally objective, honest, and well intentioned media…

[tylesveque]

You screamed out Genocide of 215 graves in Kamloops that weren't even there

[charlottefeluch]

Honestly, I am kind of honored. In most cases, Canada is a footnote, when it is rarely mentioned in the world news but now, we are front page news. Get out the poutine!!!

90% of Canadian newspapers are owned by one company.

[jaydeshaw]

What's good for the you don't spout propaganda?

[faithsanspeur]

To be fair Canada's deputy pm's grandfather published a 🚫🙈 newspaper back in the day so I'm going to agree with Russia on this.
