Love to look at u/CBSNews to see what big insights a correspondent in the field has to share, but I guess they only have time to post one liner responses. Obviously she cannot respond to everyone, but you can see from the questions that she does answer that the objective and obvious truth that can only be understood with reporters on the ground, is that war bad, US weapons good, Russian propaganda very, very bad.
Such trash questions even in controversial. They got asked how dp you know western media isn't propaganda and the only comeback they have is the "state media" line.
Like have you seen how few media companies we have and the venn disgram between their major shareholders and weapons companies?
No one in :reddit-logo: seems do get it either. Either CHUDs or :LIB:
But Fox News doesn't go as hard with Ukraine so you got some differnce of opinion (when they're :frothingfash: to want to war with China)
Oh great so in the diverse media landscape we have we have mouthpieces for different nations we want to overthrow. That makes me feel better about a real healthy and not state / MIC controlled propaganda! Who do you want to scapegoat for you problems today? That's our media! :freedom-and-democracy:
It really does suck that we just send cheerleaders instead of journalists. The number of "I don't knows" and "there are a lot of variables" that she responds with just show she isn't there to ask questions or learn a goddamn thing. The fact that she only responds to top level comments and never a follow up shows how deep her journalistic efforts go. I'm just glad to know that not only is NATO willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, but that every Ukrainian she met is willing to die, not just for Ukraine but for NATO too. Also good to know that the cold war domino theory is alive and well in every American journalists heart.
There was a time when journalists especially those connected with large news outlets were basically known for being huge pieces of shit that just reported whatever the publicists told them to. Fucking Seymour Hersh and his stupid ass getting them to believe that they are 'truth-tellers' is one of the biggest fucking hoodwinks of this century.
That whole AMA is just so lazy. It's like CBS had propaganda hour on the calendar but couldn't find anyone that wanted to show up. Not like they have to try very hard for the reddit crowd.
My favorite, "here because I have to be" answer:
A: Where to begin? I learn something new from virtually every person I meet in Ukraine.
...Maybe start with even a single example?
"I learn something new from virtually every person I meet in Ukraine."
If you didn't know shit in the first place maybe you weren't the most qualified to cover this war.
