Avram,
You usually hit the target, but this post has missed it completely.
If you would have written this before the first day of the attack , I could understand your questioning about a “balance” , but we are already 12 days into the war and we have seen the atrocities that Putin has committed. Plus, the media has covered Putin’s public pronouncements. So , they have given his side of the story.
If NK would attack SK would you expect the media coverage to be balanced?
If NK attacked SK and started killing civilians , caused millions to become refugees, and destroyed cities do you think the media should be fair to what Kim’s reasons for wanting SK ?
Putin is the exact same dictator as Kim. THE EXACT SAME DICTATOR. I call him the mini-hitler. Actually he is far worse than Kim because Kim likes to talk a big talk but actually has not attacked anybody.
The countries taking in refugees and penalizing Russian Oligarchs, companies that buy and sell from Russia that have stopped doing business and the entire world media (besides Russian controlled ) all see this attack for what it is. An unprovoked attack against civilians by a Rasha.
