Bloomberg 'Inadvertently' Reports 'Russia Invades Ukraine', Offers Live Feed
07:54 GMT 05.02.2022 (Updated: 08:06 GMT 05.02.2022) The Western media outlets have continued to spin the "Russian invasion of Ukraine" narrative for the past several weeks, fuelling fears of "World War III". On Friday, however, the media appeared to outdo itself.
Bloomberg has mistakenly reported that Russia invaded Ukraine, even offering its audience a "live" feed of the "invasion".
Accidental fake news stayed on the agency's homepage for some 30 minutes, according to observers on social media, before Bloomberg eventually removed it to roll out an apology later.
"We prepare headlines for many scenarios and the headline 'Russia invades Ukraine' was inadvertently published around 4 p.m. ET today on our website," the agency explained. "We deeply regret the error. The headline has been removed and we're investigating the cause."
According to those who tried to click on the chilling Ukraine-related headlines, they led to an error page.
Social media users - some of whom were initially shocked by the triggering headline - noted that, no matter how good it is to be prepared for any scenario, the media outlet appeared to have taken it way too seriously.
"The media’s drive to be first has gone too far… You don’t need to prepackage a 'Russia invades Ukraine' headline," one of the users noted.
"How far ahead do you have to prepare the headline “Russia Invades Ukraine”?" another one wondered.
For the record there: Russia has not invaded Ukraine, and, according to the Kremlin, has no such plans.
