Ja, maar velen hier denken dat enkel de Russen propaganda voeren, en dat de westerse media en leiders steeds de waarheid vertellen.

En sommigen denken dat de waarheid ergens in het midden ligt tussen bewuste leugencampagens en bias.
Nog maar eens de Oekraiense Journalist Maxim Eristavi bovenhalen dus:

Citaat:
the truth is never in between what Russian media and Western media report.
When one side lies, fabricates stories based on nothing, stages events, pays actors for playing in orchestrated interviews and then sells it as news, you can’t possible treat is as a credible source of information. The Western newsrooms are also guilty in faulty coverage of the war. But sensationalism, blood-driven coverage, generalization, lack of expertise or political bias are not the same as outright lies and staged theatrics.
Any educated person in the West knows that truth is always somewhere in the middle between two biases. So you would usually consume something from Russian media and then Western media and settle for the middle. This is well-understood by the Kremlin and they manage to use it perfectly by positioning their media as ‘an alternative voice’. So, by creating ridiculous parallel reality of lies and theatrics, they don’t expect you to believe in it. They instead create so much confusion that it shifts the middle further towards them.
The truth is always in between two biases, but never in between bias and pure lies.
