This topic received 400+ upvotes on Reddit. The Redditors went wild over this, suggesting it must be a far-right insider who worships Elon Musk, and that he should be fired. Seems like a hack rather than a rouge employee or a bad case of journalism.

It should be obvious that nobody in our media uses the term "colour revolution" to describe the Maidan coup/revolution. This is a term that is used exclusively by anti-NATO or anti-US groups.

BTW this wouldn't be the first time that a website was hacked, and had some propaganda edited into it. Years ago I saw a BBC article that was compromised by Israel.
