Early Friday, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s stooges in parliament (known as the Duma) passed a law criminalizing accurate reporting about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with a possible sentence of 15 years in jail. When it came to this actual and genuine attack on free, independent journalism, NBC’s Today omitted it from their Friday morning show.

Whether they didn’t think they had time or skipped it because of their presence in Russia, it was ironic considering the liberal media-wide screeching about the press being under assault from Donald Trump (though no law was passed and no journalist was imprisoned).
