The Internet Archive's TV News Archive's core Russian television news archive extends back to March and April 2022, capturing the majority of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while its archive of Russia Today extends back more than a decade, allowing a glimpse at Russian state media narratives in the first month and a half of 2022 as Russia worked overtime to convince the world that it had no intention of invading Ukraine. Here is a fascinating glimpse of that narrative in action, as Russia Today excerpts a Tucker Carlson Fox News broadcast while overlaying its own chyron blaring "US Media Pushing Unfounded Claims Of Russia Preparing For Ukraine War."
This analysis is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Internet Archive and its TV News Archive, the multi-party Media-Data Research Consortium and GDELT.
