@alex, Meduza is a propaganda outlet lolIt's probably the last media outlet you should be following.

@73ms, I do not consider media to be propagandistic if they have factual reporting without bias in the writing and selection of news and without framing to evoke a particular emotional response. You may or may not like the ideas they promote, but it's still useless to read them if you want to understand the reality of what's going on.@alex

@73ms, unfortunately, there is no extensive independent coverage of Russia in the media. Reuters may be good for general understanding, but it does not cover much.If you're an experienced reader, you can try to dissect a reality from a mixture of propaganda from the different sides, but I rarely meet foreigners who succeed.I'd rather suggest you ignore the media altogether if you don't need to make an informed decision. @alex

@dump_stack @alex Well I don't really agree with your characterization of Meduza and there obviously are no completely unbiased sources at all in the real world. I can manage, was just curious about what you would suggest after bashing Meduza. Apparently just total ignorance is best in your opinion.

@73ms, Meduza has a bias in both writing and framing news to evoke a particular emotional response. And the selection of events is done in such a way as to give you a particular view of reality. If it's not propaganda, what is it?At the end of the day, I don't think it's better to be delusional than ignorant.@alex

@dump_stack @alex Yes, you already said most of that. Of course you are presenting a totally false dilemma with presenting those as the two options.

@73ms, is there a third option? You cannot be informed by reading Meduza.@alex

@73ms, is there a third option? You cannot be informed by reading Meduza, only misinformed. So it doesn't look like a false dilemma.@alex
