Horizon News, part of CCP-owned Beijing News, accidentally leaked its internal directives for reporting on Russia's invasion of Ukraine in a Weibo post on Tuesday, revealing it would only publish pro-Kremlin content.
The post wrote that any content unfavorable to Russia or pro-Western must be censored, per a Business Insider article.
The directive also gave instructions on narrowing the scope of debate on the website - all user comments are to be carefully screened and posted gradually.
"An editor at Xinhua News Agency later posted on Weibo that China needs to emotionally and morally support Russia now since"China will also need Russia's understanding and support when wrestling with America to "Solve the Taiwan issue once and for all."
Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping claimed their countries shared a supposed "Limitless partnership" with "No 'forbidden' areas of cooperation." In the same joint statement with Xi, Putin affirmed Russia's opposition against the concept of political independence for Taiwan.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
