Remarkable word play and twisting of the language going on here, 'evacuations' are the new word for 'surrenders'. The Ukrainian government is promoting the idea that they will be swapped for Russians.

LOL!
This “battle for the steel plant” has lasted a month supposedly.

We’ll never know what truly happened there because 99% of the press lies.

likely marked the end of the longest and bloodiest battle of the Ukraine war and a significant defeat for Ukraine.

A significant defeat for Ukraine? Didn't McConnell just walk thru Mariupol promising US tax dollars for a rebuild?

Zelensky just surrendered the strategically important port city Mariupol
after besieged Ukrainian troops there had complained that they had been
ignored and abandoned except for propaganda purposes. This officially confirms that.

Why are we sending him billions of dollars again?

“Remarkable word play and twisting of the language going on here, ‘evacuations’ are the new word for ‘surrenders’.”

Scary stuff. I think at this point, even the Bidenistas here have to (finally) realize that they’ve been being played all along.

I thought the Ukes were kicking Ruski butt and taking names.
You mean all those stories on FR weren’t true?

But the brave and mighty Ukes are winning - just another 40 billions from us and they’re good.

The Ukies fought more bravely and honorably than the Brits did at Dunkirk, where they abandoned a militarily defensible position with the world’s largest navy supporting them.
FWIW, after D-Day, the German held Dunkirk, without the world’s largest navy and against the world’s two largest navies until after VE Day.

Yup.

But it’s indicative of the MSM et al at this point.

There is no semblance of objectivity/neutrality anymore. They do not report, they journal not unlike a blog on the web. They are looking for the scandal, the conflict, because that is what sells. They understand their demographic and rather than reporting verifiable facts fill articles with conjecture and provide opinions all slanted to affirm their target audiences values/interests.

There is no real empirical or scientific basis even for those things where they talk about “following the science:” Covid, Global Warming, Ozone Hole...

The media at this point is no more than a few original content providers, a few major media conglomerates, and so-called big tech (it’s an ologopolistic market where you have 1,729 TV channels but they all say the same things): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksb3KD6DfSI

https://mildandfreenet.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/media-ownership.jpg

Supposedly, ~90% of the information Americans get to read, watch or hear, really only comes from 6 providers: https://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Media_and_Free_Culture/Ultra_Concentrated_Media.pdf

They are politically connected/tied, and represent big corporate interests (they are owned by them and/or get their money from them via commercials - that is after all what they are in the business of with TV and radio, selling blocks of time for commercials with the “news” just being the entertainment to get people to view).

The quality of the TV news is so poor, lacking substance or a consistent and coherent argument, entirely politically and ideologically biased that they have basically made themselves irrelevant to anyone except those seeking validation in their feelings (usually a left leaning idea).
