I remember thinking this at the beginning of the Russian SMO in Ukraine.
In those first few days/weeks, Lira's on the ground reporting (& others) seemed to show a much quieter Kiev than the MSM was purporting to exist.
Not suggesting that the conflict wasn't happening at all, or that it hasn't subsequently developed into a full blown nightmare, just that there was a significant divergence between the situation as it was on the ground & the situation as it was being reported at that time.
The deluge of blatantly manufactured/fake news on the MSM was stunning, almost comical,,, as shown in this compilation from those early days,,, as if the perception of an all out war actually preceeded an all out war:
Thanks for saying out loud what I think! Alternative news is a home for contrarians, well said.
The supermarkets are filled with goods, my home is warm, my friends are there. Why care about truth?
We're already at it. The substack was also created to gather like-minded rebels who will be dealt with on occasion...
