With Ukraine’s military badly outnumbered by the invading Russians and desperately in need of more soldiers, villages like Makiv are being emptied of their fighting-age men.
Even if they find something to back up their claims, it’ll be a biased source.
There is literally no such thing as an unbiased source, and the core bias of the corporate media is the bias of the capitalist class.
The whole concept of the “left” or ”right“ “bias” being inversely correlated with factualness is garbage. These kinds of graphs, which try to convince us that centrism equals factualness, are garbage:
Dude, the link you posted is literally of a high budget video from fucking Al Jazeera criticizing media companies being owned by for profit companies.

Like, holy fucking shit - I’m not linking to the fucking NY Times here (a company that, by your definition, absolutely puts profit before facts) - I’m criticizing people who argue in bad faith because they hold views against certain people. And you respond by literally posting a propaganda piece from the fucking Qataris. You are literally the thing you purport to condemn.

I actually agree with you on the latter point, but not to the degree that I would support regimes that literally have fucking slaves build their cities. Cordially: go fuck yourself.
