A little help, please.

I keep seeing this on FB, but have not been able to find it on DU. Question: Is this a reliable source?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3833941/Russia-orders-officials-fly-home-relatives-living-abroad-tensions-mount-prospect-global-war.html

I've also seen it from other sources, but don't recognize them.

The subject of the story is that Putin has ordered all officials to send their dependents back to Russia due to increasing tensions and possibility of nuclear attack.

I always check DU before posting on FB, as I know most posts are vetted/legit if they're on DU. I don't want to post any c.t. trash.

I thought I remembered that they weren't reliable, but wasn't sure. Glad I didn't post it to my feed on FB.

It didn't read right to me, but things are so crazy these days, I'm double and triple checking everything. I'm posting for HRC, against Trump on FB. Don't want to post anything inaccurate, as I get enough flak from the right now.

The propaganda coming from the media is in hyperdrive right now. The media has gotten so bad that the Daily Mail even falls under its umbrella.
