news spreading about "elevated radiation levels near the power plant" and the plant being on fire are also fake https://twitter.com/iaeaorg/status/1499562515340177416 https://twitter.com/iaeaorg/status/1499562515340177416 #Ukraine regulator tells IAEA there has been no change reported in #radiation levels at the #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant site. anyways, the news cycle nowadays and the misinformation is insane CNN literally reporting "Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is on fire, according to the mayor of a nearby town." Which again, sensationalist title the plant itself is not on fire. CNN and FoxNews literally saying it's another Cherynobyl - "Fears of disaster greater than Chernobyl as Putin's forces attack largest atomic plant in Europe" Idk man, I get it's a war and shit is serious, but the information overload of propaganda from all sides is insane and is really fucking with people's anxiety and mental state.

I get what you are saying, and you are right stuff is sensationalized, but there is video of the facility getting shelled. The fire didn't start itself. People need to be anxious about this shit. The sad part is that we don't need any sensationalism to be anxious right now.

  The Russians shelled an adjoining building from where they were being fired upon. This was captured on video and heavily sensationalized to an eye-rolling extent. Frankly, I am not sure why Ukraine/West feel the need to broadcast propaganda - its not even necessary.

The hackernews crowd wants to pretend they are smarter than the facebookers who fall for fake news. But this is exactly what they do. Even though the original article is now updated to show the fire was not in the plant but outside its perimeter, you are downvoted and I was flagged for saying so. Even with ghost of kyiv nonsense making it extremely clear, western media/online nerds cannot accept that Ukraine is spewing out fake news. Out of desperation? understandably? Sure maybe. Still fake and you're still stupid for swallowing it
