Russia Vs Ukraine (Part 2) - Neocons Strike Back

Is Ukraine the 51st state now?

Who is a trusted source, in your opinion?

Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow, he believes no one else.

Thats how it looks, but I’m genuinely interested in discovering reliable sources …hopefully sid can help

BBC
Channel 4 and ITN
Sky News
The Guardian
Deutsche Welle
Publicly funded broadcasters in Europe
Papers of record throughout Europe, the US and elsewhere, ie not the fruitcakes you read
The major US networks outside of Fox opinion
Ukraine World is an excellent podcast
The Kyiv Independent and Post
Novaya Gazeta

Russian propagandists are not trustworthy sources.

Thanks. I’ll ignore the above, for obvious reasons. But ill check out the rest. What does Rachel etc say about the strategic importance of bakmut and the current state of the battle for control of the city?

The obvious reasons being they might tell the truth.

They might if it suits. But they lied all through the pandemic and they take the public for useful idiots , as you’re well aware.
I think you maybe fancy yourself as a bellingcat asset or something

Bellingcat is excellent so thank you.

It would definitely be a hell of a lot better than fancying yourself as a Graham Phillips asset.

From the days when the guardian could still be called a newspaper

That’s not a news report, it’s opinion article from nine years ago by John Pilger, who is these days an absolute disgraced joke.

Poor auld @Cheasty would be a poor chess player. He got caught with a very basic move there.

…and who was proven right

Sure you saying that Pilger was proven right is like Gemma O’Doherty claiming she was proven right. Pilger isn’t much above that now.

How so? Do explain your reasoning.

It must be tricky, one source for news and another source for opinions- is that how it works? At least you know where you stand with the lads at bellingcat- government funded propaganda

Just to inform you, because it’s clear you didn’t know - newspapers generally have a news section and an opinion section. The opinion section is different from the news section in that it carries opinion, not news, and generally it will be impossible for one person to agree with all of the opinions contained in the opinion section, because by nature, opinion sections tend to contain writers of different opinions.

Pilger hasn’t written in The Guardian for a long time, because it became steadily apparent his opinions were steadily going way off reservation into the realms of fantasy.

You live in a fantasy world, so you seek out fantasy that will reaffirm your fantasies.

Maybe they’ll take him back now that his ‘opinion’ has turned out to be factual?
