Everyone, including TASS, shares a video of an Alaska earthquake from 2018 or 2019, claiming it's from today.

We've also heard from the MH17 trial that Russian propaganda is very badly made and easily refuted by science. The only reason they've got this far in geopolitics is their ruthlessness in using deadly weapons.
At the same time as this tragedy that killed 298 civilians, Russian state TV was telling Russians that Ukraine had been overrun by fascists who were committing a genocide of Russian speakers. If you had watched Russian TV in 2014 you would have been staggered at how crude it was.
They falsely claimed that Ukrainians had crucified a young boy and that a far-right leader had left his business card at the scene of a shooting.
