Countering the Kremlin propaganda machine Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Still reverberating around the world is Monday's remarkable moment when an editor of Russia state TV news dashed daringly onto the set, waving a sign in English and Russian: “No war. Stop the war. Do not believe the propaganda. They tell you lies here.” Marina Ovsyannikova was found guilty today of organizing an "unauthorized public event" and fined 30,000 rubles ($280). Her bravery is part of an apparent ramping up of dissent inside Russia. Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar knows all too well what it’s like to go against the Kremlin propaganda machine and joins the show to discuss.
Also in today's episode: Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, and David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker.

Russia's disinformation campaign Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Vladimir Putin's propaganda machine is in high gear. The Kremlin is pumping out propaganda that no civilians are being hurt and the war is going according to plan, despite thousands of Russian casualties. And everyday Russians aren’t seeing many of the atrocities being committed in their name. Twisting narratives and silencing independent journalists is an age-old ploy, and tonight Christiane speaks to those on the information frontlines. Tikhon Dzyadko recently had to flee the country after his independent TV channel was banned, while US journalist Danny Fenster was imprisoned for 176 days by Myanmar’s military junta after their coup last year. Plus: Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Carole Cadwalladr, and director Guillermo del Toro.
