#1 Did Pravda ever have to explain? Was Izvestia accountable to anyone?

We don't have journalists. ABC and its peers are not engaged in reporting facts without fear or favor. What we have is an auxiliary branch of a corrupt, clownishly incompetent Uniparty.

#2 Did Pravda ever have to explain? Was Izvestia accountable to anyone?

As an amateur Kremlinologist, I used to snicker at the Pravda/Izvestia "In News there is no truth and in Truth there is no news" thing, along with the 3-sided skirmishes between the Party, the KGB and the Army. But we seem to have created our own version of that mess despite starting from a completely different point.

Makes me wonder if this is some sort of inevitable state and what comes next. In the case of the fUSSR, it wasn't pretty.

#4 I'm thinking, other than the possibility of the fired employee refusing to sleep with the ABC/CBS exclusives and got fired as a result, that it's possible that the ABC/CBS exclusives were/are scared that their involvement in Epstein pedeo sex pleasure empire might be exposed?
