    Like, fucking literally.

    “Crash” my ass, BBC, you say it got shot down in the article, how is that not a more accurate and sensational headline?

    “Prigozhin got blown the fuck up, like everyone knew he would the moment he pussed out, the Nazi coward.”

      Technically, they just say that a Wagner linked Telegram channel said it got shot down. They’re probably waiting for better proof/additional sources before they take the full step of saying it was shot down themselves (at which point I think it’d get added to the headline).

      Because the only source for that (at present) is the Wagner Group, who have a (dead) dog in the fight and are not bastions of truth. NYT will be trying to confirm it before saying so.
