Believing what any news report says without thinking about it is unwise. But news reports particularly those from close to the actual newsworthy event can be accurate.
Not everything reported by the media is true, but there are plenty of sources of accurate information. Those sources contradict your opinions about Ukraine.
Believing what you want to believe instead of the truth is exactly what the media relies on, and what a lot of uninformed liberals and some conservatives do.
Think about that.
Or so you believe.
