The media believed in the canard about the suicide of Konstantin Ernst
On May 2 and 3, news spread in the media that the general director of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst, tried to shoot himself. All publications refer to one non-authoritative source.
Updated : added comment from the head of the press service of Channel One.
\ \appeared on the NewsStreet website , written with reference to “a source in the management of the television company who wished to remain anonymous.” On the afternoon of May 2, an entry “Konstantin Ernst tried to commit suicide”
The note said that the general director of Channel One, after a telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom Alexei Miller, allegedly tried to shoot himself, but was eventually hospitalized with a wound to his cheek and tongue.
As described in the description of the NewsStreet project, news can be added to the blog by its participants. Indeed, a note about Ernst’s “suicide” was published by the user Filistimlinius , who had previously written one piece of news - “Uranium tips are supplied from the USA to Ukraine.”
Despite the obvious unreliability of the source of the note, a number of small Russian publications reported on the alleged suicide attempt of Konstantin Ernst. Thus, Delovoy Kvartal reported on the incident with reference to “media data,” simultaneously doubting the information.
In fact, the information about Konstantin Ernst’s suicide somehow doesn’t fit in my head. And in general, why could the fairly balanced and self-realized Konstantin Ernst suddenly try to shoot himself?

However, whether this is true or fiction of the “yellow” media is still unknown, since the press service of Channel One refuses to comment on this message, which also applies to doctors. "Business Quarter"
The Mediananny publication, which writes about the media and show business, also talked about Ernst’s suicide attempt, doubting the news with one line: “I hope that this news is fake and will receive a refutation in the near future. And what do you think?".
St. Petersburg's PiterTV deleted the news about Ernst (it remained in the cache ), and the Kirov publication "naVyatka" chose an interesting way to tie it to the region: Konstantin Ernst's father Lev Konstantinovich graduated from the Kirov Agricultural Institute.
The news was actively picked up by the Ukrainian media. The alleged suicide attempt was reported by tv.ua , Fakty.ICTV , The Kiev Times , Independent News Bureau , and Uainfo . They all cite not only the “news” itself, but also quote a line from the original post that the press service of Channel One and doctors refused to comment on this information.
Some Internet users also admitted that the news described could actually happen - the corresponding entry even came out on top in the top LiveJournal.
So did Ernst seriously want to shoot himself? It was necessary to lean my head against Ekaterina Andreeva in order to save money.

The news about Ernst's suicide attempt was carefully removed from all Russian sources where it appeared yesterday, but there was no refutation.

On the morning of May 3, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, Alexey Venediktov, confirmed that the news on NewsStreet was a “duck.”

\ \ \ \In 2014, other false information about Konstantin Ernst was already circulating in the blogosphere. On the evening of February 19, one of the users said that the general director of Channel One was subjected to an armed attack.
Then journalist Oleg Kashin wrote an SMS to Ernst and made sure that he was okay.
