As U.S. Funnels Money to Ukraine, Independent Media Faces Pressure to Parrot Official Narrative

1. so the far left meets the far right in our media

Tucker would feel right at home here on "Democracy Now".

There are not TWO SIDES to everything. Russia invaded a sovereign independent Ukraine and has been committing war crimes since the beginning. Putin is a dictator. The initial goal was NOT the Dombas region (and even if that HAD been the goal, that does not make it legitimate). The initial goal was to topple the government, kill the leadership, and make all Ukraine part of a new USSR.

Odd that "Democracy Now" is trying to see both sides argument when one side is not very democratic.

The communists are long gone... the new Russia is really the next Nazi Germany

2. So, are you saying that NATO's reversed commitments, and aggressive behavior since conception,

did not play a part in Russia’s nightmarish invasion of Ukraine. Neither we nor Russia tried very hard to prevent this bloody war. Russia, for its insane reasons and the USA because we are the world’s largest arms manufacturer and distributor.

I’d watch Democracy Now over any corporate censored shit produced for tv including not so PBS.

4. This Is Bullshit

New NATO members joined because they knew Russia Imperialism from having suffered under it, and wanted to avoid repeating the experience.

Charges of 'aggressive behavior' against the old Soviet Union are beyond silly clear to patent idiocy.

6. Yes, Russia is aggressive, but one is blind or in denial to not see NATO's part.

And, what about our history of colonialism and imperialism?

7. I Don't Argue With Kitchen Tables, Sir

Misdeeds by 'A' neither excuse nor mitigate misdeeds by 'Z'. That you seem to think they do identifies you as a frivolous person unfit to discuss questions of state.

9. I don't suggest excusing misdeeds or their horrible consequences Mr. Magistrate sir.

I only suggest that they be recognized and noted for future reference.

Nothing is as frivolous, dude, as broad speculation based on a few sentences.

5. NATO never invaded anyone.

Please list the nations forced to join NATO.

I'll wait.

And Democracy Now has a bias against anything the USA does or doesn't do. And somehow the USA is at fault for everything that happens.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia has been instigating problems within Ukraine almost since Ukraine declared its independence.

Or are you against self determination and freedom?

Wow...."neither we nor Russia tried to prevent". Really? You think the USA is responsible for Russia INVADING and killing thousands of civilians? Targeting apartment buildings? Executing civilians who have their arms tied behind them?

[Uncle Joe]

3. Throughout history, the preeminent manner in which the

far left and far right meet to dominate any media is when the middle fails and that usually doesn't happen overnight but years and decades in the making.

Such is the state of the corporate media; it has been in an ever-conglomerating myopic profit driven crisis for decades at the expense of lifting up and enlightening the American People on the most critical issues of the day.

Everything with them is corporate driven but there is nothing democratic about major corporations, they're authoritarian by nature so it was easy for the corporate media to white wash or overlook candidate Trump's; obvious deficiencies for the highest office in the land.

It is/was all about the money.
