Popularity Jen Psaki

Strange but true: Jen Psak, the speaker of the State Department suddenly become a favorite meme Kremlin, writes Buzzfeed. The publication has decided to find out how far the most influential figure of the American political horizon gained popularity among Russian internet users. It turned out that the domestic media rather freely interpret facts and are mounting, exposing Psak in a bad light. Thus, the publication commented on the publication of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", which states that "after the start of the escalation of conflict in the south-east of Ukraine wits invented the Internet, the term -" 1 Psak "offering so called scale" rating stupidity and incompetence. " The samples "nonsense" Psak is called, in particular, her statement at a press briefing on May 12 about illegal referendums in the Donbass. Listing the violations were noticed during the voting, the Speaker of the State Department called the use of so-called carousels. However, she was unable to answer a reporter's question, what the term means, and admitted that she is reading the paper. In the West, this incident went unnoticed, but in Russia, where, as stressed by Global Voices, a phenomenon familiar to many after the controversial election campaign in 2011, it ballooned to unbelievable proportions. April 10 Psak admitted the obvious clause stating that "natural gas from Western Europe through Ukraine to Russia." Speaker immediately corrected the error, but in the reports of Russian TV channels, this episode was shown in abbreviated form, giving the impression that Psak has no idea about the direction of gas exports and geography of the European continent. Shortly after the World Hockey Championship, held in Minsk, the text appeared on the Internet by an unknown author, who parodied possible comment State Department in connection with the U.S. team losing to Russians. Clearly jocular text could mislead some respectable publications that reprinted by accepting at face value. After that to convince anyone that Psak never said anything like that, it was useless. The same applies to "the State Department statement" about the possible dispatch of the 6th U.S. fleet to the shores of Belarus if the latter intervene in military operations in Ukraine. Buzzfeed notes that all these stories are actually created and disseminated by the state media, including the TV channel Russia Today and in the transfer of "News of the Week" Russian propaganda chief Dmitry Kiselev, who spent part of the issue "psakingu" - a new concept which, according to lead, "appeared in the vast global internet." "Psaking - so say, when people not understanding, making categorical statements, thus confusing the facts and without further apology", - says Dmitry Kiselev. According to him, "psaking - a reflection of the entire American diplomacy" and U.S. foreign policy. Meanwhile, the "vastness of the global Internet" outside its Russian segment of such a "term" do not know, contrary to Kiselyov. Moreover, the word did not stick even in runet that can be seen on the search results showing mostly links to Russian media. There is a natural suspicion that "psaking" - both in the sense that this word puts Kiselev, and in a broader interpretation, which includes the entire campaign engineered by the vampires around the Speaker of the State Department - the Kremlin forced meme. (Forced meme - from the English. Forced meme - meme emerged thanks to a dedicated PR campaign using technical means and often proplachennyh references on the Internet. - Comm. NEWSru.com.) This is also evidenced by the almost empty thematic groups "VKontakte". Moreover, rhetoric and stylistics commentators too reminiscent of "kremlebotov" hunt which recently opened American media. Apotheosis "psaking" in runet was the message of resignation with Jen Psak position of Speaker of the State Department, which was reprinted in some Russian media on Thursday, June 5. Comment on this news and answer the question, where are gone Jen even offered Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin. "Do not know" - Churkin said the question on the TV channel "Russia 24". "Dismissal" Psak provoked the appearance on the Russian social networking hashtag # SavePsaki ("Save Psak"), which the user places in the ironic messages about how they will miss her. As expected, the dismissal was "duck": it has denied itself Jen, published a scathing message on Twitter: "Despite the fact that the Russian propaganda machine says the opposite, I'm still here, as well as strong, democratic Ukraine." Tweet was stocked with the hashtag # dontbelieveRT ("do not trust Russian television" or "do not believe RussiaToday"). Russia Today TV channel just in case denied that reported the resignation Psak, and lamented the fact that the State Department and formerly called the channel "propaganda mouthpiece". Transmission Orwellian Psaki ("Orwellian Psak"), dedicated to Jen and which appeared on Russia Today in early June, the channel does not relate to the propaganda.
