News bulletins around the world have been following Russia's election rallies. But one channel stands out - America's Fox News has been showing streets ablaze, violent clashes and firebombs thrown at security officers, but with one major problem - the images are not from Russia, they're from Greece!
We would like to see FOX News make a public apology for misrepresenting the protests that took place during the Russian elections. If you support us, please sign the petition.
Watching those clips of Greece get passed off as Russian election violence makes me angry for everyone who relies on honest news. I have been spending my nights digging through archives to document every instance of this specific misrepresentation. It feels like shouting into the void sometimes but the truth about what happened in those streets matters too much to let slide.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that people refuse to let blatant misinformation slide. My family watches these broadcasts expecting the truth and it hurts to see them betrayed by such careless reporting.

This is exactly why nobody trusts the news anymore. Showing footage from a completely different country to push a narrative is pathetic. Do better.
