The world media, including even such outlets like CNN and BBC, did not published the video that needed additional verification and research.
However, a notable part of the Russian media sphere once again showed its real face. Many major Russian-language media outlets, including RBC, Meduza and others, released with fervor the video depicting poor tortured victims of Russian origins in Syria. These media outlets did not research the situation additionally and did not provide any alternative points of views.
Once again, it is easy to see that the journalism ethics and standards have shifted significantly around the world.
