The Mainstream Media Is Not Telling You The Truth About The War In Ukraine

Why can’t major news outlets at least try to be objective?  On the Russians side, we are getting a steady stream of pro-Russian propaganda, and that is to be expected.  But I am particularly disappointed in the mainstream media in the western world.  We have been told story after story of Ukrainian victory, but most of the videos and photos that they are using end up being fakes that were given to them by the Ukrainians.  The biggest fraud of all was the story of “the ghost of Kiev”.  Congressman Adam Kinzinger even tweeted about him.  But it turns out that it was all a giant hoax.  News organizations are supposed to try to verify stories before they run with them, but way too many times that simply isn’t happening.

 

And day after day, we continue to be deluged with more stories that are intended to shape public perception of the war.  We are being told that Russian soldiers are crying, we are being told that entire Russian units are abandoning their posts and walking back home, and we are being told that some Russian troops are surrendering without any sort of a fight.

If you only rely on such sources, you would be tempted to think that the Russians are on the verge of defeat and that the Ukrainians have almost won.

 

But that isn’t exactly true, is it?

 

Even military experts in the west are rebuking the press for such shameless propaganda.  The following comes from a piece by a military analyst that was published by a British news source…

 

Wishful thinking has the upper hand in the battle to shape Western perceptions of the war in Ukraine.

 

Sympathy for the outnumbered and outgunned defenders of Kyiv has led to the exaggeration of Russian setbacks, misunderstanding of Russian strategy, and even baseless claims from amateur psychoanalysts that Putin has lost his mind.

 

A more sober analysis shows that Russia may have sought a knockout blow, but always had well-laid plans for follow-on assaults if its initial moves proved insufficient.

The truth is that the Russians are gaining ground every single day.  According to one estimate that I saw earlier, the Russians now control 20 percent of Ukraine, while others claim that it is less than that.

 

Everyone pretty much agrees that it is slow going for the Russians in the north, but in the south the Russians have been making impressive gains.  In fact, the Russians now have complete control of Kherson…

The first major city in Ukraine has fallen to the Russians, the mayor confirmed on Wednesday, urging his residents on Facebook to obey ‘armed people who came to the city’s administration’.

 

Kherson, home to 290,000 people, is 300 miles south of Kyiv.

 

The city is strategically important, sitting on an inlet of the Black Sea 260 miles west of the separatist enclave of Donetsk.

 

You can see footage of Russian vehicles in the streets of Kherson right here.

 

 

If nobody comes to Ukraine’s aid, it is just a matter of time before Russia wins this war.

 

But I give Ukrainians credit for putting up a fight.  They didn’t just crumble under the pressure and surrender like some thought that they would.
