For those that aren't aware, Sputnik is owned by the Russian government:

I've no axe to grind about this, but folks should know who owns the new sources they read.

Fake news? Wouldn't this be akin to using stock images or archived video footage?....

Yeah this is obviously intended as stock footage. It's not like CNN said, "The FSB let our photographers hold the camera at a funny angle of their screen to get this awesome picture."

It's more like, "This is what we think you think hacking looks like."
