When the dust settles, will the West’s media coverage get a passing grade, or will we find, at times, we allowed our sympathy for the Ukrainian cause to overlook matters we shouldn’t?

    If it's a primarily-English speaking outlet, then I can answer this question immediately for the crackers: no. They're not. Ukraine was exactly how I knew there wouldn't be a single cracker that had an issue with what Israel is doing to Palestine. As soon as I knew no one would stop the Banderites, I knew no one was invested in stopping the Zionists either.

    No hard questions were asked; all these crackers did was throw blurs over the insignias we called out before simply not taking photos if they couldn't get around the nazi patches.

      What's notable is that we now have mainstream western media effectively acknowledging that western media has been lying. Thing about material reality is that it always wins in the end. You can spin a narrative for a while, but sooner or later you have to reconcile it with what's actually happening in the world.

        But of course the retraction is run on page 16 and only printed once. The eclipsing majority of libs will go to their graves thinking the Uyigurs were genocided.
