Media reporting falsehoods then later correcting them doesn't mean the media isn't reporting falsehoods.
Retractions always - ALWAYS - get less attention than the initial story.
They aren't in the business of spreading truth, they are a business with incentives to gain people's attention.

- thiagoharry 5y agoHow is this not propaganda if these news source have a side and put much more positive news for one side than the other? Donbass is being shelled for 8 years. UN recognizes more than 10,000 deaths in the conflict there. The few journalists that interviewed people there got some interviews that really describes war crimes (watched recently an italian documentary that collected testimonialsthere). Which is not surprising, since neonazi groups were integrated to Ukranian army. You may dispute that this should be classified as genocide, but there are human rights violations happening there and this is not just Russia propaganda.
