More than 20 international media groups have heeded calls from Ukrainian news organizations to turn off Russian news channels.

A spokeswoman for Ukrainian media group 1+1 Media told Deadline that providers in Poland, Australia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Canada, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria and Germany are no longer broadcasting “propagandistic TV channels” including RT, NTV, RTR and 1 Channel.

...

1+1 has also kickstarted a “digital flash mob” and is calling on social media users to use the hastag (sic_) #TurnOffRussia when discussing the conflict, which has moved into its fifth day.

1. Fox News is a Russian channel here in the US.

I wish we could turn them off.

3. You and every other decent, intelligent person in the US

if the carriers cut them off and the advertisers abandon them, they could be hurt.

There is room for activism here.

8. Find out who is funding Fox and take action against them?

The Russian propaganda FOX channel needs to go.

It is time for us to fight for democracy, and not let PutinGOP control our country.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Well, breaking the Russian banking connections should help with the Russian funding they get...

We can't make a media outlet "illegal." It won't pass 1st Amendment challenges.

So, yes, find out their funding sources and break those.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes, there are 1A prohibitions. But there has to be a way to break Putins US puppet govt.

Putin has installed a shadow government in the US with his own propaganda arm.

There has to be a way to stop it.

[Wounded Bear]

14. The American way is to expose them and vote them out...

dissatisfying perhaps, for the vengeance bound, but it does get them out of power.

[Irish_Dem]

15. But Putin's puppets are taking control of the voting system.

So that is no longer going to be a viable option. Their goal is permanent white minority rule.

We are being led to an autocratic form of government. State by state.

[Wounded Bear]

16. They haven't succeeded yet. I'm a keep fighting...nt

[Irish_Dem]

18. They are quite close in some states. And we know Putin had a hand in Trump's "election."

So we know there has already been cheating which almost caused us to lose our democracy.

2. If not already . . .

the USA should do the same.

[Wicked Blue]

5. I emailed our senators and congressman this morning about this nt

[Irish_Dem]

9. The PutinGOP tried to overthrow our democracy.

And we let them go with slaps on the wrist.
It is time to fight back.

[lagomorph777]

6. Yet RT is still on multiple cable/satellite providers in the US.

7. Who are any of them without "Money & Media"?

They are no one & the world moves forward without them.
When they lose both money & media the effect of their propaganda will cease to exist.

[crickets]

10. Google/YouTube, looking at you.

All you did was take away their ad revenue, likely temporarily. Greedy cowards.

[nycbos]

11. Hey I remeber when RT used to be considered legitimate here.

17. +1. And Putin was such a harmless cuddly He-Man
