You would agree that media is separate from the systems that popularize it, then?
That’s the key difference. Making a tv show wasn’t always a capitalist’s wet dream and a trojan horse of fascism. There are still some shows, even today, which have moments of profound good contained in them.
Meaning, media can be a force for good. I would further argue it might even be a force for good if money was involved. Less good, perhaps, everything depends.
Ignoring the whole propagandized media thing again.
What, they demanded incompetent racist fuckery. Order up! The fact that they brought down all women with them is, like, a bonus.

Ah. Boy that was a rollercoaster.
So?
I mean . . . this is nothing. This is just the kind of article you can expect for at least 3.7 years. You wanna dig your teeth into a second turd circus administration, feel free. It won’t change a motherfucking thing.
The corporate medai has failed so spectacularly they’re just staring up their own asshole at this point asking each other what they think.

The part about Zelenski ordering sabotage while drunk has both no source and is utterly ridiculous.
I agree. I also didn’t see it in the article -?
If you want to find German federal prosecutor records, or Dutch itelligence reports - I’m not sure where to go for those.
It pains me to say this but the WSJ, while being a Murdoch rag and certainly guilty of ridiculous bias in the way it reports things, isn’t really known for making up things whole cloth like the Daily Mail or something.
Look man, I’m not tryin’ to scam anybody here, okay?
Except for the German federal prosecutors, Dutch officials, former Ukranian commander in chief, and the sabotage team themselves, I suppose you’re right.
Days after the attack, in October 2022, Germany’s foreign secret service received a second tipoff about the Ukrainian plot from the CIA, which again passed on a report by the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD. It offered a detailed account of the attack, including the type of boat used and the possible route taken by the crew, according to German and Dutch officials.
Inasumuch as you can have a source for a covert operation after the fact.
Gotcher ears on?
Ukranian special ops, acting on their own
Edit: Story
I always wonder if I’m just missing some kind of shift in the language and then six replies later they mention they don’t live in the US and I think “aw crap”.
I’ve been waiting for everyone around me to “understand computers” for forty years.
No luck. They’re just as clueless as they have ever been.
You’d think I’d be less boggled by it now, but nope.
HA!
What a joke.
