Yes. This is not new, it happens all the time and it happens everywhere. Even in my country. It's just that here, in South Africa, news are reported not only in English but 10 other languages as well. But guess what? They are all the same. The fact that it's reported in a different language kind of makes this less suspicious and recognisable, but if you listen carefully and translate you'll find that it's the exact same thing. There is only one particular News station that is not controlled by the Government. That's the more reliable one.
