    I bet you can find a simple news message of Russia closing news stations.

    I bet you can’t.

    Read some Chomsky ffs. Or at least like fair.org.

    The NYTrash always supports hegemony. USA is fighting russia and supporting zionism, so that’s their slant in a HUGE way. It’s nonstop across all imperial media. It’s hard to imagine that people are blind to this but I guess we’ve all been indoctrinated since birth.

      This is why buddy said they’re being pedantic.

      For example, if I found and posted a plain statement of fact headline for Russia, would that be evidence that manufactured consent isn’t a thing? No. Of course not.

      To look at these kinds of things, you can’t just cherry pick. These concepts are laid bare as a result of aggregating reporting. It’s a statistical thing.

      So while this is an example, for the reasons posted, it’s not a great one. And you could take that feedback and post a better one. You could understand the argument. You’re completely right, so why not choose examples that don’t leave yourself vulnerable to valid criticism of your specific choices?
