I think they needed a narrative shift. It's not so much that they shifted from COVID, it's that the COVID narrative started to die and they needed a new one. Then the stories of the Canadian truckers started and the new improved Watergate 2.0 Pro (spying on Trump worse than original Watergate) and they could not have that. Now the only thing that the news is talking about is the conflict in Ukraine. I fear that we are missing the real stories.
It very much looks like this is their latest narrative shift. We can't let it work. We must keep covering and following the non Ukraine-Russia stories.
Also, I see too many people blindly fawning over Putin. I'm not saying anyone needs to hate him or believe everything about him in the MSM, but it's also not wise to believe everything about him from his propaganda sources. We must be skeptical of every source and not give anyone a free pass.
I'm not favoring one side or the other to win. I don't know nearly enough about the history of both countries over the past two decades to do that, and I'm not going to listen to anyone who became a self-proclaimed expert about it overnight.
My CEO recently sent out a press release in support of Ukraine. I ought to ask him what sides he's choosing in all the other wars going on that never make headlines.
Regardless of what happens, the real loser will be the people caught in the crossfire. That's how it almost always is.
I sympathize with the Ukrainians as a people. I doubt their government is very good. Definitely very corrupt. I also doubt Putin cares how about how many innocent lives he ruins. And by ruins, I don't necessarily mean just the dead or injured of which there may not necessarily be that many, but all the other collateral damage. Whenever war breaks out you always have people fleeing areas where there is fighting which is a hardship on them. You also have people losing their jobs in areas that are affected and losing their property. And a period of poverty always follows as a country tries to rebuild.
