In the Stalinist days there was a very strong censorship, locking out any news from the West unless it was really bad news. No internet, radio reception of foreign stations was forbidden. We all really lived in a dumb and happy vacuum. The forbidden fruit at the time were Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. Some people listened to these radio broadcasts and that was how news spread.
The problem at the time was that lots of their news was more propaganda and fake news. But we were still happy to hear them. Today's news reminds me of those old times. It is totally one sided as far as Ukraine is concerned. They do not publish the real news! One must listen to news from other countries in order to realize what really is happening.
European news reflect that many European countries are no longer in love with Mr. Z and his country. His constant begging for money and help is becoming very tiresome. There were claims that he already sold weapons he got from the US to America's enemies. These European newscasts openly criticize how crooked the upper echelon is over there. They also list the expensive homes the Ukrainian leadership owns outside their country while the population is being bombed out of their homes.
Interesting fact in the European news: as far back as March 2022 there was a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia but the US did not like it and it went away. How many people died since then just because America didn't want peace? They are mum on this subject on this side of the ocean.
And we have a free press? Good country America!
