The first clashes between Ukrainian forces and North Korean troops took place in
the Kyiv-controlled Kursk region in Russia on October 25, according to sources
available to Jonas Ohman, head of the prominent Lithuanian Blue/Yellow NGO.
And they immediately believed all of it, plus added their own fantasies to it, while at the same time preemptively declared all debunking as fake news. Classic!
I’ve lost the respect of some friends for critiquing corporate media organizations such as the New York Times for its prolific history of reporting that is misleading while somehow maintaining a facade of providing unbiased, reliable news. Half the time, you can’t critique the sources in mainstream news because they don’t bother to cite their source at all or they use circular citing of themselves which eventually leads nowhere.
One person even got mad at me for these critiques because they know someone who writes for the most prestigious NYT! When they introduce me to others, they make sure to brag about how I’m a professional scientific researcher (something I don’t bring up in those conversations bc literally no one wants to hear about the details of my work unless they are a scientist). I guess all the experience I have analyzing primary and secondary sources is only something worth acknowledging when it doesn’t threaten their worldview. The best part? They know I started analyzing politics and the news more than a decade before I started working in science and still do so to this day.
Your credentials and experience mean nothing in the face of protecting their ideals. To this day, I get microaggressions such as “oh yeah, I read it in a mainstream news source ^that ^you ^don’t ^believe.” All I want to respond with is, “the mainstream news ^that ^you ^uncritically ^consume,” but I’m trying not to destroy that relationship in the hopes they will pull their head out of the bourgeoisie’s asses. They’re an excellent organizer.
For people who claim to care about facts and science, liberals are willing to try awful hard to avoid looking at anything critically.

It’s amazing really.

Holy shit lmao they even have media bias fact check bot there.
RFA?
MFCB: Left-center bias, highly factual
In this case it’s the Lithuanian National Radio and Television. I wouldn’t put it past a butthurt belt publication to spread fake news about Russia.
I know, my comment was just confusing because I switched to talking about the media fact check bias site and how it categorizes RFA.
