Russian state TV reportedly re-edits news to suit president

Russian state television channel Rossiya 1 reportedly re-edits news broadcasts after their initial airing, removing content that might displease President Vladimir Putin, according to reports.

Reports indicate that Russian state television channel Rossiya 1 operates a system to modify news content for President Vladimir Putin. According to a description by Dmitri Skoroboutov, after the 8 PM broadcast, teams at the official channel re-edit segments. This process aims to create a version of the news that is carefully purged of any information potentially unfavorable to the Russian president. This practice is presented as a method to ensure that the news presented to Putin aligns with his preferences, reflecting a controlled media environment.
