The liberal TV channel “Present Time”, financed from the United States, reported today a fake regarding the State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation from United Russia, Dmitry Vyatkin.
The TV channel's host reported that the journalist tried to interview State Duma deputy Dmitry Vyatkin about his proposed law, which would introduce liability for libel on the Internet.
The call from Current Time was answered by an unknown man, who did not immediately hear what they wanted from him. And when he realized that it was a “slanderous” comment, he sent the journalist “to f***.”
Later it turned out that it was not Vyatkin who spoke on the phone and Current Time had to apologize to the deputy.
LDPR deputy Sergei Ivanov claims that it was he who pointed out the mistake to liberal journalists.
“Dog lovers I know sent me a number where he allegedly sends journalists away. I immediately call the journalist and say: what are you talking about, this is not his voice. I said: figure out what phone number they called. In the end they apologized. But according to his law, this girl has already faced two years of imprisonment,” Ivanov said, speaking today in the State Duma.
