I'm shocked that this German state propaganda outlet hasn't mentioned Ukrainian atrocities, uncritically repeats Ukrainian police statements & attributes an unnamed source as "the Pentagon"

I'm sure the Russian state media with its objective and balanced reporting will cover it.

Don't think theres a lot western media in Russia either.
Any independent media Russia has needs to choose their words carefully or be shut down.
It's good the internet is still somewhat free in Russia....but we know how you feel about the free internet...

> Don't think theres a lot western media in Russia either.
There is still quite a bit but there was a lot more...Russia introduced a law against deliberately spreading disinformation to distort the Ukraine conflict around a month ago. The next day a bunch of foreign media companies closed themselves down & left. The likes of BBC & DW were among them. What does that tell you?
DW's narrative revolves around how, according to them, Russia was talking about forcing them to be recognized as a foreign agent (as RT was in various places in the West like UK & USA before they were banned completely)
edit2:
"German Federal Minister for Culture and Media, Claudia Roth, criticized the decision and said Russia had drawn false equivalence between RT DE and DW."
LMAO..... delusional western elitism at its finest.

that could be something they could figure out in court, if they were confident in their propaganda
they could even use any court case to discredit the Russian government (since this is one of their key objectives).... again, if they were confident in the integrity of their propaganda.
instead they slunk away through the back door & tried to spin it as not even being related to the new law. There was another video someone posted here where there was a DW worker who was trying to say "everyone's leaving Russia" with their only evidence being 150 foreign media workers LMAO. That "Russia's finished" hype train was funny in hindsight.
It's gonna be funnier if/when EU's economy starts buckling & social unrest ensues. They deserve it for fucking around too much. Being an obnoxious American proxy isn't a great long term strategy.

Russia has a history with dissapearing journalists. Yeah, I'm sure they would be get a fair trial.
Fucking hell you can't even hold up a sign on a street corner with out getting arrested.
I say move to Russia or China if you like them so much. Stand by your words, NZ is too westernized anyway.

edit: on DW's website they DWsplain why they left by coming up with a range of Russia Bad arguments & don't mention the anti-disinformation law.... and they go on to try & associate RT with disinformation in the very same article.
