As it turned out, RT Russia headline about attempt on Putin's life turned out to be Simonyan team's fantasy. So much so, that Russian Foreign Ministry had to go on record today.
Translation: The Foreign Ministry reported that the agency "drew attention to information that appeared in the media about an assassination attempt being prepared by Kiev" on Putin and Belousov "while they were" at the parade. As the ministry emphasized, these media reports were "the result of journalists' incorrect interpretation" of Ryabkov's interview. The Foreign Ministry's message on the VKontakte social network indicated that Ryabkov did not touch on "details that fall within the competence of other agencies" in the interview. At the same time, when asked directly whether "an action was being prepared at the Main Naval Parade," Ryabkov "did not answer in the affirmative, only acknowledging the presence of "a certain connection with this kind of event," the Foreign Ministry emphasized. Recall that on the air of the Russia 1 TV channel, the deputy minister called the provocation being prepared by Ukraine a "very alarming" episode, which was planned in connection "with our internal events in order to inflict maximum damage and obtain the maximum media effect they need."
So, there you go. This is everything you need to know about what "journalism" is. They "interpreted"... instead of reporting verbatim.
