    "The Nazis are only a small part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces"

    /proceeds to do endless articles on Azov

    Why is the western media so focused on putting Azov in front of the camera? Are we getting some kind of confirmation bias where we ignore other stories?

      Could be NATO putting a big "Nazis welcome here" signal to encourage nazis to come there to get training and create some kind of global network of terrorist cells.

      It could be them doing damage control for all the anti-Azov articles they were doing before, so they can defend Ukraine. This seems to be working because people are believing it.

      Could be because journalists sympathize with oppressors in almost every conflict nowadays.

      Azov are the vanguard of Ukraine military propaganda. There are other reasons, but don't discount the power of simply being the main group putting in an active propaganda effort with the full backing of the state. While Right Sector sits in bunkers, Azov runs training programs for children and pulls stunts like these.

      A conspiracy reading would be that Nato benefits from continuation of war and those are the people who are committed to not taking any peace deals, even when Zelenskyy seems to be getting cold feet.
