Interesting selection of headlines, dates, papers and choices of whether headlines are attributed to a source.

Lets start from the top...

• Guardian - date unreadable
• Vox - Date unreadable
• 4 unattributed headlines (no dates)
• New Europe 15/4/21 - New Europe's tag line is "Leading Europes Conservative movement" - not a source I would trust to tell me the time frankly.
• BNE Intel news - A fairly new source that I have no opinion on, but the second paragraph of that story also notes

For many, these revelations are at odds with the anti-corruption platform that brought Zelenskiy and his team power. That said, not all of the financial activities outlined in the Pandora Papers are necessarily illegal. Indeed, the ability to capitalise on legal loopholes is what makes the offshore service industry the booming business it is today.

Personally though, I do believe the Zelensky government was balls deep in grift, but that won't really come as a shock to many here.

• What looks like a Guardian header from 6 years ago
• An undated Reuters headline

Whilst all these headlines are probably real, the lack of context makes them pretty much worthless.

What's the point anyway. That it's a good thing Russia invaded is the only point I can see.

In that BNE Intel news article it also notes that Russia comes second. Maybe they're hoping for the top spot by taking Ukraine?

I don't think AA comes from a Putin cheerleading position, it's more like force 10 whataboutery.

This is how the West reported on Ukraine before the invasion, according to a random page of Reuters headlines from a few years ago.



If somebody was to take the trouble to find the most damning headlines about Britain in any given period they'd probably come up with a collection that would make troubled, corrupt pre-invasion Ukraine sound like Shangri-La by comparison.

Whoever came up with that selection doesn't even seem to have been trying that hard - the Vox one is critical of Trump, not Zelensky, and another one of them is saying "Ukraine is poorer than other European countries," ffs.

More thinking of the person who made it.

Looks like could have been nicked from Galloway's Twitter.

Quite possibly as their choice of media is unusual and their understanding of the context of the articles might mean English ain't their first language.

Haha. I noticed that as well.

At least AA is learning something from Urban. Even if it isn't better politics yet.

Well they are actually reporting about Ukraine there as well. Lviv (Lwow) was controlled by Poland in '37. The poorer peasants from round them ends tended towards being ethnically Ukrainian and the landlords Polish. This was also how anti-Semitism was able to be so successfully weaponised, with the Nazi's and OUN-B/UPA associating Polish landlords/middle classes with being Jewish.

Russia, famously incorruptible and paragons of virtue.

Just don't ask what happened to anyone who filled a complaint about Vlad's dacha near the Olympics venue.

This article is fairly informative:

Is Putin Sick – Or Are We Meant to Think He Is?

An oligarch close to the Kremlin was recorded on a tape saying the president is ‘very ill with blood cancer.’ Is this true, idle speculation or disinformation designed to make an erratic and paranoid dictator vulnerable?

I disagree and I never claimed it was.
