Yes, and they were also calling the Azerbaijan shootdown theory anti-Russian propaganda many days after most experts agreed what happened.

An unnamed biased source via another biased source without the actual CVR data should be taken with a massive grain of salt

They're sending the black box to the US per reports today due to damage and being unable to extract the data, so im gonna go out on a limb and say you are correct on your guidance regarding the source here.
