Roskomnadzor issued a warning CNN

The American television company CNN received an administrative warning from Roskomnadzor for the weekend incorrectly indicated on the air.

This was reported by Interfax with reference to the head of Roskomnadzra Alexander Zharov. According to him, the CNN channel will be able to continue working in Russia after eliminating an error.

“Under the law, only after two warnings, the procedure for stopping the media is initiated, and this is done through the court,” said Zharov. “They were given time to fix this situation.” And we hope that they will cope with her quickly. ”

The head of Roskomnadzor also denied the assumption that the CNN warning has a political background and is related to the US authorities to register as a foreign agent for the Russian International RT channel.

“I do not work in the political department, I work in the supervisory service. We identify violations in the media and react to them, ”said Zharov.

Earlier, RT editor Margarita Simonyan expressed the opinion that in response to the requirement to register her channel as a foreign agent, Russia will take mirror measures, and the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova said that "each step in relation to the Russian media will have an appropriate response."
