Addendum: I'm finding it bizarre and disturbing that this article about volatile and emotional media reporting is somehow seen as pro-Russia or anti-Ukraine. It is neither. I have great compassion for the victims of war—any war, and those on any side of any war. I'm struggling to find compassion though for those arms dealers and their shareholders making profit from this war, and the media reporters getting cheap accolades while fuelling the fire of hatred. Hate (and fear) started this war. The more people hating on one side (or the other) the worse the war will become. When something isn't working, please don't do more of it.

Tobias,

I get what you are saying. You are trying to help people see. "Open my eyes that I may see..."

Truth is truth. We are all fallible and have fallible senses. We are easily persuaded by our emotions.

The media is not objective truth.

"Consensus" is not required for something to be true.

When the media an politicians are heavily pushing a narrative, look behind the curtain.
