Washington Post:
"hundreds of combatants — dozens of them seriously wounded — were evacuated from the complex Monday."
Reuters:
"The Ukrainian regiment at the steel plant said it was fulfilling orders to save the lives of troops by evacuating them."
AFP:
"Rescue mission under way at Azovstal as hundreds evacuated"
All of these articles make it sound as if the people involved are being "rescued" by the Ukrainian military and taken to a neutral or safe location. Mission over, on to the next task for them.
None of these articles use the words "surrender", "prisoner of war" or "detention" which is the actual reality of the situation.
These are all military troops who have surrendered, being taken to detention centers in enemy controlled territory. Some of them will face criminal trials for war crimes.
So why are our journalists clearly coordinating to misinform and mislead us?
The use of the word "evacuate" is absolutely dishonest and ridiculous in this context.
It CAN'T be an accident that disparate news organizations are all misleading us in exactly the same contrived way at the same time.
Isn't the implication of that very disturbing? That journalists from so many organizations are somehow all instantly on the same page to use the same grossly misleading language?
Is there some big brother blast network that gives them exactly the words and narrative to use?
There was another extreme example along these lines recently.
Russia had newly started insisting that payments for gas be made directly to their banks.
Somehow all the western journalists absolutely refused to report the simple truth of the matter.
That the west had seized 300 billion dollars the Russians had in foreign exchange accounts, and that if payments continued to be paid into those accounts, they would likely not be paid at all for their gas.
They reported all sorts of malicious motives for insisting on payment directly to Russian banks, but carefully avoided the simple truth that they just wanted to get paid and not give gas away for FREE.
Dozens and dozens of articles all had this same journalistic malpractice, it was very rare to find one that correctly informed their readers.
Journalism is dead, long live the propaganda narrative
