Fake footage from Digital Combat Simulator fueled rumors of Ukrainian super pilot
A clip of a Ukrainian fighter jet blowing up a suspected Russian aircraft started trending on social media yesterday. Many believed it was proof of the exploits of a mysterious and unverified ace pilot called the “Ghost of Kyiv.” It was actually fake footage from the 2013 PC game, Digital Combat Simulator: World.

“Has the media suddenly become trustworthy??”
If anything, it’s gone the other way.
In Ukraine the truth is whatever you can get those suckers to believe.
But what about those bastards ripping infants from incubators and throwing them against walls? You can't remain neutral in the face of THOSE reports!!!
I’ve been seeing this allegation on tons of sites that I’ve never heard of before. What I haven’t seen is further “game” footage from before and after this clip to show its clearly fake news.
I can’t seem to find further gameplay from this ultra-realistic 2013 game to compare footage.
Do you have any proof to back up the retraction of the Snake Island story? Just had an altercation with one of my children when I mentioned it. Her husband said the debunking was coming from Tass and was Russian propaganda. They were laughing and making fun of me.
The release from the Ukrainian government was the first thing I saw, though I guess the translation could have been doctored. Here is the Compost having second thoughts: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukrainian-border-guards-may-have-survived-reported-last-stand-on-snake-island/ar-AAUmj4d
Free Republic looks like the Wapo comment section of late.
My brother served in the 1st Iraq war and actually saw first hand where Iraqi soldiers drilled through the legs of Kuwaiti military officers they had caught and interrogated.
The only “debunker” of the incubator case was a lone Palestinian doctor who didn’t stay with his patients or hospital when the city was under attack, and whom the Iraqi occupiers allowed through their lines to flee to safety from Kuwait, back to Lebanon or Jordan, leaving all fellow coworkers and patients behind. Some source, eh? The paper that claimed the interview with him is a leftwing rag in California that supports Nancy Pelosi all the time.
The fact that our media is corrupt does not mean Russian media or any other media isn’t. Our media is at least free NOT to be corrupt, whereas state owned media of other countries is required to be.
Snoopy vs the Russian bear.🤔

As to state owned media referenced in your #50. Just look at who is our media. Spouses, siblings co-habitors, off spring of and former state officials. They lie and play us because it is in their best interest to do so. They do not have to be ordered to do it. To them it is existential. Not much different than foreign "state owned" media at all. Ours just get paid more.
Remember the fit the media threw in 94? After about 40 years the RATs were out of power. All those carefully cultivated relationships with the pols in power that the media had cultivated for so long were now...WORTHLESS! The media had few if any connections with the new majority. Their rice bowl was in jeopardy so they fought back.
Same thing happened in 16, only this time they had ALL the pols (to varying degrees) as well as ALL the bureaucrats, and Zer0's newly purged military on their side.
With the media we have, who needs a "state owned" media?
