Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov praised US television channel Fox News for their coverage of Ukraine, writes The Guardian.
It was during an interview on the Russian state-controlled RT network that he praised the right-wing and controversial channel.
– We know the manners and tricks used by the western countries to manipulate the media, we understood a long time ago that there is no such thing as independent western media, said Lavrov, who spoke in English in an interview in the studio on Friday.
Strikes back: – Tired and forgetful
– If you take the United States as an example, only Fox News is trying to show an alternative point of view, he says and believes that the West is waging an “information war”.
