It appears that our Trump loyalist are moving toward this...you know...do not report facts and if you do, it is FAKE.
"Some of the biggest anti-Kremlin protests in years swept across Russia on Monday with over 1,000 people detained by the police ahead of a presidential election next year. But anyone relying on state TV would have concluded they were a non-event.
Vremya, state TV's flagship evening news show, relegated news of the protests to item nine of 10, and, in a report lasting around 30 seconds, said less than 2,000 people had shown up in Moscow. Some 150 people had been detained for disobeying the police elsewhere in the city, it said.
The main news of the day, according to Vremya, had instead been President Vladimir Putin's handing out of state awards.
The Internet, awash with images and videos of police hauling people off across the country and, in at least one case, of a protester being punched, had a different take.
A live feed organized by opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was detained in Moscow before he could attend what the authorities said was an illegal protest, showed demonstrations in scores of cities from Vladivostok to St Petersburg and thousands of people converging on central Moscow."
In Russia, state TV and the Internet tell a tale of two protests
