TODAY. My biased coverage of Ukraine war and Donbass referendums.

Why do I repeatedly give the pro Russian view of these events?

Well, it's simply because the avalanche of Ukraine news and views in the prevailing English-language media is stridently anti-Russian, and heroically pro-Ukraine..

Think about it. We, the anglophone nations, plus Europe, are NOT at war with Russia. There might be some excuse for this appallingly bad coverage if we were formally at war.

Universally, it would seem, we swallow the story that the Donbass referendums are a sham. And where do we get our news from - it's always Kiev - the heart of pro Ukraine propaganda, and hundreds of kilometres away from the Donbass region.

And what is our news avalanche like in style and content? Well on Australian TV media they showed the effect of the gas leak (attributed of course to Russian sabotage), as a close-up of a baby crying.! All we get is emotional coverage of unhappy people. Now this is true, and Ukrainian people are suffering. But it's not a factual picture, and not the whole picture, of how the war is going.

And as for the history, the background to this war, and why it came about - forget it! All we get is unrelenting USA and NATO propaganda.

And for the future - like silver-tongued Anthony Blinken, and his Australia's mimic Richard Marles - all we get is the mantra we must keep the "Global-Rules-Based-Order" !

Somebody has to raise questions about a view that differs from this avalanche. So that is why I, and a few others, do it
