  • Spin is actually adding words like “admits” to a headline in order to lead the reader to a certain belief. In this case the .ml headline leads us to believe this information has been concealed. When a much more reasonable take is that you, me, and the average reader is probably coming across this info for the first time. It’s not been hidden, it’s new.

    Seems like the take from .ml should be, “You fools, rise up! Your government is getting your countrymen killed in a bullshit war, AGAIN!”

    But this headline spins it to read as, “This bullshit war is getting people killed but the government is hiding it, wake up sheeple!”

    The first is a cry to come together the second serves to divide us small people.


  • Nah dog this is just bad spin. You scape goat me because I choose to speak up but it sure sounds to me like you’re living in your own little bubble. Personally I don’t know how many people have been killed on either side, I’ve just assumed it’s more than either side wants to admit because losing anyone is always more than the powers that be want to admit.

    Reuters being about 2-3 days behind the conflict feels pretty normal. But like call it what you will. Maybe it is a global propaganda apparatus… But more likely it’s just people being careful and slowing down transmission speed so they can confirm what information they are passing along. Buy you know, you do you.






  • RT comes out swinging. I’m not saying they’re wrong but this is firmly the most negative view possible. And it’s full of glass houses shit. Like yeah Russia, the US is pretty good at sewing chaos abroad, how’s your chaos going? Your 3 day war still going on?

    Oh has US leadership fallen short of the goals and vision of the people? Really? I wonder who supported Donald Trump in getting to the presidency. Surely no one in Russia. I definitely didn’t see articles from RT talking about how good Trump will be for global stability. Nope definitely not RT.

    Fucking Russian media, I suppose it’s fair to kick us while we’re down. We’ve always done it to the rest of the world. I still would rather live here than China, or especially Russia, but I’d also rather not live here.
