Forbes Fail! Western media outlet publishes fake Russian troop casualty article, and its zombie readers actually believe it
Alex - Red Pill Times
A Forbes report on alleged Russian army casualties in Ukraine citing a dodgy Russian website has sparked a media and Twitter storm. Some said Russia had “finally slipped” with the leak on its troops in Ukraine; others were baffled by the “fake publication.”
Due to a lack of actual evidence (i.e. photos, videos, something, anything) to show that some 1,000 to 50,000 Russian troops have invaded Ukraine some 37 plus times and counting…Forbes has just said screw it, and is now printing anything they find on the web that says Russian military is operating in Ukraine.
Forum posts, tweets, blog comments, post-it notes…anything to try and garner support for the magazine’s MIC sponsors. More weapon sales means more money for the rich 1% Forbes guys.
Calling on their trusted Russophobe scaremonger contributor Paul R. Gregory to provide some “Russian aggression” goodies, the Kiev consultant and Hoover Institute sponsored “academic” came up with a suspicious, little known web site, owned by a shell company in Ukraine, printing a fake Russian military casualty story…no sources, no research, no fact checking, no google search…nada – nothing.
The story is so badly doctored that the fake “Russian” news site called “Delovaya Zhizn” (translated as Business Life) even misspelled the word Ukraine! Even a Bloomberg journalist called the story BS…
That “Business Life” report of Russia’s Ukraine casualties is a fake. Bs-life.ru — come on, are you serious? (Plus the “в Украине” slip)
We also point Gregory and his poor, gullible readers to this link (use Google translate to get an English version): http://ruslanleviev.livejournal.com/37331.htm
