    You mean like what Trump supporters consume? And Fox, MSNBC, and all the other “news” outlets? How is that freedom working for the people in the land of the free?

    There may be differences in the scale of bias and propaganda, but nobody should live under the illusion that they have access to unbiased news.

        How many Western journalists are on the ground in Ukraine right now?

            How many haven’t been told by their respective government office to keep morale high in their reporting?
