Russian state TV gave drone attack on St Petersburg minutes of coverage

Original: Three major federal TV channels in Russia dedicated less than five minutes of airtime on Sunday, October 18, and Monday

BBC reports that three major Russian federal TV channels gave less than five minutes of airtime on Sunday, October 18, and Monday morning to the massive drone attack on St Petersburg and the Leningrad region. In the same period, the channels devoted over an hour of coverage to the unrest in France, drawing criticism over the discrepancy in priorities.

Why now: The stark contrast between brief coverage of an attack on Russia's second city and extensive coverage of French unrest is being seen as telling about state media priorities.
