In this case they are disputing the veracity of the source, which is Associated Press, a wire service like the others where we get 90% of our news that is not local, and largely lap it up as if it's gospel. That is unless it doesn't match whatever narrative we are operating under. Any freepers who have posted an article, probably posted an AP sourced article and commented on it as if it was truth handed down on a tablet from god.

Regardless of your feelings of Zelensky, when this is over and Russia is forced to quit, Zelensky will be seen as a Washington like figure to the Ukrainians. This whole disaster will also bring to light just how damaging corruption can be to a nation.

And after posting this, I that there’s now 10 ‘examples’ I can test that theory, if I was bored enough.

I don’t know what country you’re in, but here in the U.S., we are already well aware of that. We’re living it.

Zelensky is as corrupt as Putin and Biden are. Idolizing other human beings, especially politicians is nuts.

I’m aware of who and what AP is. 🙄 And “we” don’t “lap it up.” Maybe you do.

Questioning the media, regardless of source, is a demonstration of critical thinking. Knee-jerk reactions such as accusing people who question the media of being “Putin puffers” or whatever nonsense is a demonstration of agenda-pushing.
