I only believe western media when it suits my world view vibes
When media admits things that runs against their interests/narratives it is more believable than when it fits in with their narratives and interests generally yes. Is that really a controversial idea?
Or maybe you have a media literacy problem.
Taking bias and interests into account when evaluating how much stock to take in a piece of information and it's source is a media literacy problem in your eyes?
Are you sure you're not the one with the problem?
There is always a reason everything is published and it is never to "keep the public informed". Just because you happen to agree with it doesn't make it any more factual or less disinformation than the ones you don't agree with.
When did I ever say it was? Infact my comments very clearly point to the reality of pushing narratives to forward the interests of those who own/control the media.
Fucking obviously. Thank you for the truism. But again literally entirely irrelevant to what I said.
It's not at all irrelevant. They are always bullshitting you. That is the only thing you can be sure of.
Are you incapable of comprehending what I said?
Admissions against one's interests hold more weight than claims in ones own interests.
This is a fact.
At no point did I make any claim about it being any media outlet telling the truth or any other such idiotic stawman you are attempting to build.
just Sayin Shit, as you guys are wont to do
How does that change Russia being an imperialist country filled with neonazis of its own?
Russia is not an imperialist country at present, despite Western propaganda to the opposite. Previously:
And while Russia does have a few neonazis, as most countries do, they don’t hold a candle to the scale of Ukraine’s.
Wagner group alone is a neonazi organization that had tens of thousands of members just a few years ago, an order of magnitude more than the famous Azov brigade. And it's literally named after Hitler's favourite composer.
Neonazis are only an issue for Putin when they can be used as justification for war. Otherwise, they don't matter.
Ffs you guys are too much
Last chance to make a point
here you can see the brain of a liberal under spontaneous combustion when reality hit em
That's your reply lmfao?
Engage with at least one source.
What's the problem? It's literally full of sources and documentation that counters your worldview. How is it too much to present that? Just want to keep you and your thoughts inside a bubble?
