Another example of distorted Ukraine news

The recent Associated Press article in the E-R (11/4, A-10) about Bucha, Ukraine, had all the distortions and deceit the US media’s become known for in its coverage of Washington DC’s quest to bring Russia to its knees.

This particular AP article is especially disorienting because it doesn’t write of the known, April 4 reportage of Russian soldiers “massacring” Bucha residents. It writes of a completely unknown, March 4 Bucha “massacre” about to be shown in a Frontline PBS documentary. The information behind this AP article and the

PBS documentary is supposedly backed by “thousands of hours of material” provided by surveillance corporations — tied to the CIA and Pentagon (from Veterans Today).

I detect “deceit” in this AP article because “thousands of hours of surveillance material” and information taken from soldiers’ smart phones have already been determined to be problematic evidence by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN and OSCE fact-finding committees. Videos of “Russian” soldiers shooting Ukrainian prisoners in the knees, for example, were actually of Ukrainians shooting Russian prisoners in the knees. To use questionable surveillance material now as evidence to validate this latest AP newspaper article and PBS documentary on an unknown March 4 ‘massacre’ in Bucha, Ukraine, will confuse the American public beyond any chance of ever understanding the need for a ceasefire to this insane Ukraine War that’s leading the world into possible nuclear annihilation.
