Analysis / Bias
In review, M24 features hourly news broadcasts as well as information and lifestyle programming about Moscow such as exhibitions “Photo exhibition “Look into the eyes of Donbas” opened on the Arbat” and stories such as “Cases of bullying of children of immigrants from Russia recorded in UK schools Why did you come.”.” M24 articles are sourced through quotes and use local sources such as Interfax: “Peskov did not rule out the possibility of a meeting between Putin and Zelensky.”
M24 also publishes articles with misleading titles such as “Cure for old age: scientists have discovered a possible elixir of immortality.” While it is true that scientists found a drug that reverses aging in mice, it in no way implies immortality. When reporting on the Russian government, they do not offer criticism of President Putin and promote government propaganda such as this The situation in Donbas. This article portrays the Russian invasion as protection for Russians living in the Donbas region. There is no evidence of the people being subjected to Genocide.
