Russia to kick out German state media after Berlin bans RT DE
RT | February 3, 2022
The Russian office of the German state broadcaster, Deutsche Welle (DW), is to be closed as part of the “first round” of a response to Berlin’s “unfriendly actions” against RT DE, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
The German outlet will also be barred from broadcasting in Russia via a satellite or through other means, the statement added. All staff members at DW’s Russian office are to be stripped of their press credentials, according to the foreign ministry.
Moscow has also launched a procedure which will recognize DW as a “foreign media outlet acting as a foreign agent” under Russian law.
Moscow also said it was compiling a list of German state and public entities believe t be linked to blocking RT DE in Germany and exerting pressure on the Moscow-based broadcaster. Representatives included on the list will be barred from entering Russia, the foreign ministry said, adding that it would release information about subsequent rounds of reciprocal measures “in due course”.
DW said it would challenge the decision of the Russian authorities in court and would also continue operating from the Moscow office until it receives a formal closure order. DW’s director, Peter Limbourg, denounced Moscow’s move as “absurd” and an “overreaction.” He also vowed to “significantly increase the coverage” of Russia.
The move comes a day after Germany’s top media regulator sided with a regional authority and upheld a ban on RT DE’s broadcast in Germany, citing the absence of a locally-issued license. The channel previously obtained a valid pan-European permit in Serbia but the German regulators declared that void.
RT DE now has four weeks to appeal the decision in court, which it is planning to do.

“As Mr. Yakub continued to preach for converts, he told his people that he would make the others work for them. (This promise came to pass.) Naturally, there are always some people around who would like to have others do their work. Those are the ones who fell for Mr. Yakub’s teaching, 100 per cent.” — The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, chapter 55 of Message to the Blackman in America titled “The Making of Devil”
“Three blessings a Jewish man is obligated to pray daily: ‘(Blessed art Thou,) Who did not make me a gentile; Who did not make me a woman; and Who did not make me a slave.’” — Babylonian Talmud, Menahot 43b–44a
The story of the Jewish American experience that most Jews want to believe, and want the world to believe, is one of almost endless historical victimhood. They insist that they fled anti-Semitic oppression in Europe, landing safely on Ellis Island long after the Civil War’s end in 1865, and certainly some did. … continue

Noted. Gimme a break! (Was there anything specific anent Germany’s action besides perhaps petulance or childishness — or bending a knee to US hegemonic/divide-and-conquer inclinations?) [I do note above the three “Related” links of 2019, 2021, 2022 vintage…should visit them….]

I used to peruse Iran’s “Press TV” because I believe in getting “Both sides of the story”, but the USA has completely shut down their News Outlet. Russia is now doing the same to Germany for their own reasons.
And the losers are, ordinary citizens of whatever country that is trying to find out what is “actually going on in the World”, because, let’s be honest, the Western MSM is a total joke when it comes to reporting the truth.

Germanistan, keystone va$$al of the evil Natostan, rason d’etre of the Bolshevik hellhole EUSSR, Politburo puppet of the Satanic NWO. The entire debauched edifice of the anglozionazi empire of shit is rotten to the core. Get ready for the long overdue and much welcomed collapS€ of the chosenite Ponzi $hitter.
As Lucky Larry Silverswine of the 9 11 inside job put it…”We had to pull it.”
