“…That’s not to say that Westerners are the world’s top authorities on any given matter or the best media employees, but just that Russian media might still hope to keep some onboard to retain credibility with their audience.

That’s because the average media consumer in that part of the world feels more comfortable with someone that looks, talks, and writes like them relating information or opinions about whatever it may. _Some wrongly believe that whatever a Russian citizen or member of that ethnicity says should be seen with skepticism since they falsely assume that they’re “forced” to say whatever it is by their public patron or are literally “told” exactly what to do if they want to keep their jobs. They think that foreign employees who look, talk, and write like them have considerably more freedom in this respect._”

Charlotte Hau (@charlottehau6): "The contrast in the reporting is astonishing. HK shutting down a riot inciting media outlet is called an “Assault”. But the whole western world shutting down RT is hailed as some political victory. The level of hypocrisy is 🤯🤯🤯" | Nitter | PussTheCat.org https://nitter.pussthecat.org/charlottehau6/status/1499515683440406532#m

Don't be ridiculous, you think western media is impartial?

@WarNews

@stux
So you don't want to provide both sides? That's rather silly, otherwise you're just regurgitating propaganda of one side. As usual, the truth resides in the middle.

@WarNews

@stux
Hardly impartial when they're all Western. @WarNews

In the city of #Kherson which is under Russian control, looting has been stopped and shops and businesses are slowly reopening. (Hopefully my client replaced link with Nitter)

For shame, as Canada's deputy Prime Minister is shown with this fascist flag. The fact that she's of Ukrainian ancestry herself, with her grandfather serving in the Waffen-SS, is very problematic in my opinion. Problem is, most Canadians only care about domestic politics and are naive about anything in terms of foreign policy!

Why is the red and black flag, seen at rallies in support of #Ukraine, causing such a stir? | CBC News

And before you suggest that this is pseudo journalism, Mr. Parry broke the Iran/Contra scandal in the 80s. He only reports that which is verifiable.

@bitrairo
No one is denying the shooting at Madan, the folks that did it were Right Sector fascists, who don't care if they were fellow Ukrainians. The end is the means as far as they're concerned.

@bitrairo
There is plenty of evidence that this was a CIA sponsored coup and no it's not propaganda but the truth.

@samuraikid From what I've personally observed (my 81 YoA brother had COVID-19). It's a strain of a virus that causes SEVERE pneumonia (I'm not a health professional).
My brother was healthy to begin with, (doctor said he was like a healthy 60-year-old) he survived COVID-19.

He said he never felt like he wanted to die, but there were days he wished it was so. He was put him in a coma once.

So my friend, I'm convinced that it wasn't any type of human scheme, some things aren't a conspiracy whilst some are.
The trick is to figure out which is which. Peace …

Is this a serious concern? Asking here because this is the home of STEM on the Fediverse.

@samuraikid Almost seems coordinated … COVID is still with us though. 😀

#Ukraine Published Feb. 16/22, but the relevant parts of the story are quite accurate. Folks in the west just sit in Front of their TVs and think that those entities run in their communities are telling the truth. Well, no they aren't—They're manufacturing consent, people! And you're buying it!! Critical thinking doesn't exist among the masses. <sigh>

#War #Assange Yes, via propaganda.

#OpEd I agree with him and I dislike identity politics. The “Waked” are naive in my opinion. Same as the "MeToo" movement, where many people were summarily dismissed without any evidence other than heresay. So much for democracy ...
