Is there objectivity in Western media?

[Dissident]

​

Western media try to portray themselves as unbiased, but is this really the case?

Spoiler

When a point of view suits the owners of these media, they publish this point of view without comments, but the situation is completely different when an undesirable opinion is published.

For example, before the Summit on Peace in Ukraine in Switzerland, the BBC published an article about Zelensky's visit to Spain at the end of May 2024, where he had urged Western leaders to pressure Russia into peace using "all means" necessary.

The article cited - among other things - Zelensky's proposals on how this military conflict could be ended.​

… return of all invaded territory, reparation payments for war-related damages and the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian war crimes.​

The journalists even added a fragment that was never voiced by the Russian government.​

Mr Putin will want to take the whole of Ukraine eventually…​

But the official Russian goals of the military operation were not mentioned in that article at all.

The article also failed to mention that Zelensky had planned to visit Spain earlier, but postponed the visit due to the Russian offensive near Kharkov, for which he blamed the entire world in an interview with the ABC.​

Is it America's fault, we asked him, what's happening now in Kharkiv?
“It's the world's fault,” he replied.​

see ABC News website.

The article also did not describe the events that led to the Russian Military Operation; see the article which I published a year ago Has the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine been provoked?

Now let's compare how the BBC presents undesirable information.

Last month, British politician Nigel Farage - among other things - said in an interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson about the armed conflict in Ukraine:​

We (the West) provoked this war.​

The BBC published a material about his interview and this material included many critical commentaries which were repeated again and again; see below:​

Former Conservative Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who is not standing in the election, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Farage was like a "pub bore we've all met at the end of the bar".​

And below again.
​

Mr Wallace - who oversaw the UK's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 - said Mr Farage "is a bit like that pub bore we've all met at the end of the bar" and often presents "very simple answers" to complex problems.​

Or
​

Conservative Home Secretary James Cleverly said Mr Farage was echoing Mr Putin's "vile justification" for the war and Labour branded him "unfit" for any political office.​

And below again.
​

Conservative Home Secretary James Cleverly said Mr Farage was “echoing Putin's vile justification for the brutal invasion of Ukraine".
Labour defence spokesman John Healey said Mr Farage's comments made him "unfit for any political office in our country, let alone leading a serious party in Parliament".​

Because the BBC sometimes changes the content of its already published materials post factum, I have included a screenshot of these fragments at the end of this article.

And after Nigel Farage explained his views in an article in the Telegraph the following day, the BBC published its second article, which again mixed Mr Farage's words with criticism from his opponents.

There use to be and still is by some real journalist but also a lot of slanted propaganda that seems to be in the forefront.

 

[MisterBeale]

I do not know anything about European independent media, or if there is even such a thing.

In America, we have something called a First Amendment. It guarantees us access to the truth.

Sheep and lemmings watch and read government and corporate monopolized propaganda.

Mature folks read and watch independent and non-affiliated researchers and journalists. The mature folks will always be called, "conspiracy theorists," by the sheep and lemmings, but, eventually, with in a year, two, or three, the truth and facts will eventually come out in a free society.



Let us hope we can still keep a free society.

No, of course not. They are only bailing on Biden and actually covering him honestly now that his senility can no longer be hidden. The media was hoping to get a different candidate, but they created a monster in Biden. He was NEVER going to drop out under any circumstance. One for his ego and two to protect his family from the many inevitable indictments coming their way the moment he isnt president anymore.

Unlike reporters, journalists are story tellers who bend the facts to fit their plots.

No, they are not objective.

When news became an independent television show, they knew they had to bring in viewers. It was not the "News Service" of the past.

They find the most sensational thing they can report, even if the accuracy is questionable. We watch the news when we are scared. If they scare the population, their ratings go through the roof.

On 9/11/2001, news media was on every tv.

Real journalism is a very rare exception rather than the norm in America anymore.

It wasn't always like that, but it sure is now.

One can actually get far more honesty out of BBC (which is still Western Journalism)

and other Euro news sources than any American networks.
