It is always a surreal experience to see the sheer scale at which western media outlets deploy propaganda and rewrite history. Attempts to overthrow governments in Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan are "protests." So are attacks on the residence of the President of Kazakhstan with rifles and grenades, and burning down the office of the mayor of Almaty.[1] The same outlets described the mild violence by a congregation of Trump supporters near the Capitol last year as a "coup," "attack" and "riot."

In another tab I have a Meduza article open listing how the rhetorics of President of Kazakhstan has shifted from using words like "a demonstration" to "an international terrorist group". Assuming that Meduza's compilation is accurate, and if Kazakhstan keeps redefining the narrative, what is so strange about many foreign media outlets not keeping up with that?

  > Kazakhstan keeps redefining the narrative, what is so strange about many foreign media outlets not keeping up with that? What Kazakh politicians say is not very relevant here. The media outlets themselves are reporting that presidential residences and mayoral offices have been attacked and set on fire by "protesters."

  Meduza is a rusophobic media with 100% foreign funding that was created with one sole purpose: disseminate Western propaganda in Russian population. It's in every their article. It's a trashcan of the worst and dumbest pro-West propaganda, I don't know how any sane person would refer to it. It's not a journalism, they don't even have journalists. They're producing anti-Russian fake news. BTW, even that they do poorly, I know people that unsubscribed from Meduza because they're tired from it's paranoid rusophobic hatred.
