The Western press has been lying about the war in Ukraine — and more
Eric Zuesse, June 23, 2022
The norm in Western newsmedia has been to lie, and even to hide the truth, and this fact now is especially clear because what they were reporting about Russia’s ‘losing’ the war is, by now, inconceivable without there having been massive lying by them previously. Furthermore, all of those lies were not real journalism, which demands skepticism of any government’s allegations about a war that is going on, because (at least on our side, even if not also on the side of our government’s declared enemy) governments do routinely issue mere propaganda whenever they are in or supporting a war. And yet, though government lies are reasonably to be expected from a nation that is at war, there was NO such skepticism on the part of the Western press; and some of the falsehoods that they published have even been blatantly ridiculous.
For examples: Here are the openings of two major ‘news’-media reports about Ukraine’s war, on April 1st (and the first one of those reports even referred to Russia’s army as being “the Red Army,” as-if Russia were still communist, as you will see):
