    Perhaps they believe they can do that with impunity. Because why not? What is the Russian military going to do, shoot down USian spy satellites and drones? Bomb their spy centers in Poland? That’ll be nukes flying in no time.

    It has probably always been this way, but the amount of propaganda, fake news and framing is really frustrating. You don’t have to be a Russia supporter to want to know what’s going on but the way the media bombards you with (non-)information is just tiring.

    I know there are journalists on this site since I’ve seen them myself. If they are reading this, could you please for once just write an objective story?

      I know why this is. The media is controlled by the ruling class and therefore has certain interests, I understand that. But I don’t want to always have to go through six obscure Telegram groups, 26 different news outlets, YouTube, Reddit and three prayers to different Gods to find answers on what’s really happening. Shit’s tiring yo

        So much of the problem too is the editors, not the actual journalists. When news on Bucha broke mainstream, many articles reported that there was no conclusive evidence on who was responsible for the massacres. But people don’t read articles. They read headlines. And the editor is responsible for the headline. When the article says one thing but the headline says “Mass Grave discovered after Russian Troops Leave” then the damage is already done.

      It blows my mind that you people actually say fake news unironically. Call it what it is, disinformation.

      At least one general’s death was confirmed by russian media, yes. I’m not checking the news that much anymore, cause it’s all very mentally draining, but I saw a few articles about it.
