War porn and propaganda – another day at The Guardian

The Guardian is sharing this war porn pic of a child cuddling a soldier of Wagner PMC.

Goodness how quickly the media image of Wagner PMC as a gang of brutal thugs and ruthless convicts that murder heroic Ukrainian soldiers for cash got flipped!

The Guardian is super anxious to whip up SOMETHING from yesterdays humiliating flapping about Prigozhin, and is thus hyping the idea that he left Rostock last night ‘surrounded by cheering crowds’

We note:

(a) Their pictures and videos of ‘cheering crowds’ have a very narrow focus and never show more than a 100 people at most.

(b) Many of the men are wearing the uniform of Wagner PMC (for whom Prigozhin is a talisman)

(c) Planting a few quotes in the mouths of a handful of individuals is perhaps not a journalistically rigorous way to access the feelings of a city of 1.1 million people – The Guardian does it anyway.

(d) The Guardian then finds a tame academic ‘based’ in Moscow to verify their assertion that their own twisted reportage of events in Rostock can be safely extrapolated to represent the views of all ‘ordinary’ people in Russia (a nation of 140 million people) who all ache to be rid of Putin and swept into the oh so tender and merciful arms of the west!

(e) this happens allegedly in spite of long prison sentences handed out to everyone who speaks out in Russia – not bothering to explain why this doesn’t seem to apply to all of their ‘evidence’ – gathered as it is from ‘cheering crowds’ and academics free to speak their mind to a hostile western media outlet!

The Guardian.

Shame on them.

Since 2013 I have worked on this Ad-Free site: trying to give a voice to those without the power or agency to speak out for themselves and speaking simple truths that well paid journalists in the corporate media dare not utter.

I am a home schooling parent on a low income – paying for the domain, web hosting and security entirely out of my own pocket.  

If you find this website useful and could spare us a few shillings to help keep our lights on, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in solidarity with all our readers. John Lynch, Editor.
