Now it is publishing Kremlin-friendly stories that make occupied Crimea look like Disneyworld.

Don't listen to what Reuters and other Russian information warfare outlets have to say about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Pay attention to what Ukrainians and experts in Ukraine have to say about the ongoing war in Europe.

1. Well then, with it now going behind a paywall, they may well lose

credible outlets that used them for research. Who wants to pay to get Russian propaganda?

2. Fox and oan

3. They don't need to pay, they just make shit up

4. They get it free from the kremlin

5. Fox News has taught me to distrust anyone who tells you to distrust mainstream news

Maybe Reuters is being duped by Pravda Lite, maybe they're not. But I can't believe ukraine, for all its problems right now, is a purely joyless land. The fact that one pretty thing happens there providing this one news story doesn't mean there's Bolsheviks holding guns to the heads of every photographer in the country.
