Ukraine

As MRC’s Free Speech America noted Tuesday afternoon, DirecTV yanked RT America off its airwaves due to its role as Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s personal mouthpiece in the U.S. as he wages war against the innocent people of Ukraine. And, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, they made good on their promise, roughly 45 minutes after Axios’s Sara Fischer broke the news.

Previewing President Biden’s State of the Union address, White House press secretary Jen Psaki joined FNC’s America’s Newsroom on Tuesday and squared off against co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino over President Biden’s response to Russia’s war with Ukraine and specifically the administration’s refusal to budge on domestic oil and gas production and the timing of the CDC dropping…

DirecTV dropped Russian propaganda outlet RT America on Tuesday as a belated response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. DirecTV absurdly refused to renew One America News Network earlier this year while RT’s programming was only suspended after Russia invaded Ukraine.

On Tuesday morning, the news broke: DirectTV was FINALLY dropping Russian propaganda outfit RT (formerly known as Russia Today). With that, we ask: what took so long? During the invasion of Ukraine, the network has been spewing a steady stream of lies that blame the Ukrainian people for being invaded, ridiculous spin about saving the country from phantom Nazis and other falsehoods. 

Thursday night on NewsNation, primetime host Dan Abrams pulled back the curtain on the abject sham and disgustingly pro-Kremlin RT, a so-called news outlet that’s spent 17 years spewing Russian propaganda and doing Vladimir Putin’s bidding seeking to expand his influence and splinter the west.

You may have thought CNN and MSNBC spewed outright lies and falsehoods but with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, they don’t hold a candle to state-controlled RT (Russia Today). On day five of the war, Monday, February 28, RT correspondent Murad Gazdiev made a host of outlandish claims ranging from Ukrainian soldiers surrendering en masse and the civilian defense forces were organizing into “neo-…

Presidential historian, sometimes Biden speechwriter, and frequent MSNBC Jon Meacham joined The 11th Hour on Friday to recap what turned out to be a very eventful week. For Meacham, the week both the defense of Ukraine and the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court are critically important for democracy, just like winning World War II.

If there's one person who shouldn't pontificate about dealing with Putin and Russia, it's Hillary "Reset Button" Clinton. On Friday's Morning Joe, MSNBC's husband-and-wife duo buttered her up about how Trump's "chaos of the last five years" was better for Putin than Obama or Biden policies. As Russia invades, Hillary touted the Democrats bringing "credibility" back.

Two Ukrainian former heavyweight champion boxers are answering President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s call to Ukrainian citizens to take up arms and fight back against Russia. The Klitschko brothers -- Vitali (nicknamed “Dr. Ironfist”) and Wladimir, who are both Hall of Fame boxers -- have volunteered their services to stand against Russian forces that have invaded their homeland.

On Thursday's Morning Joe, discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the normally mild-mannered Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations declared: "I hate to be so blunt, but the thing Putin is most vulnerable to is DEAD RUSSIAN SOLDIERS. So we have to ensure Ukraine has means to resist."

Wednesday’s White House press briefing wasn’t smooth sailing for Press Secretary Jen Psaki and deputy national security adviser Daleep Singh with tough questions ahead of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, so it was only natural they came back Thursday and faced  hardballs on Biden’s messaging flip-flop on use of sanctions and the refusal to apply them at all to Russian energy industry (perhaps its…

In the midst of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, CNN made headlines; not just for being live when cruise missiles began striking Kyiv, but also for playing an obnoxious Applebee’s ad side-by-side with footage of air-raid sirens blaring out through Kyiv.

Almost 24 hours after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the three evening newscasts hammered the Biden administration for doubling down on more sanctions which have already failed to prevent Russian aggression. 

On Wednesday, hours before the start of the Russian invasion of Ukrainian, the Rada (parliament) advanced legislation that would allow more Ukrainian civilians to own firearms as they stared down the bear that was eager to wage war on and conquer them. It’s another obvious example of why civilian firearm ownership is important and vital for a free people, yet it wasn’t worth any airtime on the…
