Something About Informational Hygiene.

I know many people today, due to a development of translation tools, browse all kinds of Russian media and Telegram Channels. It is normal, what is not normal is what I stress constantly and it is the fact that majority of Russian media and TG channels are working against Russian. It comes with the territory and overwhelming majority of those people such as Rybar, Podolyaka, Alekhin, Romanov, all kinds of other "military experts" are either direct intel or shadow assets of 404. Many are nothing more than shysters who collect donations "for the front" and then enrich themselves and those who cover their asses at a middle level of Russia's media-political class. 

Here is a freshest example:

MOSCOW, Feb 27 — RIA Novosti. The Tverskoy Court of Moscow sent the founder of the Readovka publication, Alexei Kostylev, to a pre-trial detention center on suspicion of embezzling more than one billion rubles from the Ministry of Defense, a RIA Novosti correspondent reports from the courtroom. "The petition of the investigation to satisfy, elect Kostylev a measure of restraint in the form of detention for a period until April 25," Judge Anna Bazhenova announced the decision. He is charged with non-fulfillment of obligations under state contracts. According to the investigation, Kostylev signed a contract for several billion rubles for the supply of UAVs.

Here is some interesting bit of this dude's background: 

The biography of Alexei Kostylev began on April 27, 1985 in the city of Roslavl, Smolensk region. After school, the young man received a higher education at the philological faculty of Smolensk State University, tried his hand at poetry, and was a member of literary communities. He moved to St. Petersburg for a while, but then returned to his hometown.

Get it? He obviously possesses all kinds of "qualifications" to report on ... criminal chronicles, lingerie of celebrities, cool gadgets and movies. But, look at this!  

In April 2022, the editors of Readovka announced that they would not publish Dmitry Peskov's comments, calling them "demotivating and do not reflect the real picture of what is happening now in Ukraine and Russia," and called on other media to do the same.

Russian justice system works slowly but relentlessly and about a year ago (give and take) the laws on discrediting of Russian Armed Forces started to be applied. And this all is a mounting evidence that a strategic decision has been made in regards to the fate of 404 but those so called "independent" media (aka voenkurwy) who for four years have been engaged openly in VSU/GUR/SBU propaganda and who have been trying to reach out to Western audiences such as DDG inviting a scumbag and military amateur Rybar, because their audience asked for him. Well, Rybar is a shadow asset of 404 and is no military expert since has no clue about warfare, he hasn't been taught that while getting his diploma of military interpreter. And the list goes on, and on, and on. And so, number of those people already received the status of "foreign agent", one, such as ugly psycho Montyan, got slapped with the status of "terrorist and extremist" and is now spending her days mostly in court's hearings. And it seems that Kremlin had enough of these scumbags. 

There is enough material to charge them with a variety of crimes and, many, being thieves, will not be charged with infocrimes, nope, like Al Capone they will be imprisoned based on tax and other economic crimes, which is enough to get them behind bars for a long time. Russian state and judicial system are very humane, and often give you one or two chances to recover and do the right thing. But at some point of time even this system has enough and throws the book at you. But keep in mind, the number of real military professionals with serious tactical and operational experience, senior officers, with extremely serious academic background is very small in media sphere, including TG channels. The rest of it is primarily pseudo-military BS and outright 404 propaganda, which was pushed early in SMO by Russian media. Ranging from Solovyov, to Skabeeva to other "talk shows", to RT filled with military frauds. Now they feel the pinch. Good. Info hygiene is critical in times of war and especially without knowing the actual background of all those "alternative media" filled with clueless bimbos and ass-holes who wouldn't know shit from shinola but who are "military experts" all the same. Today, another one bites the dust. More is coming.
