You mean like what Trump supporters consume? And Fox, MSNBC, and all the other "news" outlets? How is that freedom working for the people in the land of the free?

There may be differences in the scale of bias and propaganda, but nobody should live under the illusion that they have access to unbiased news.

You are still drawing an equivalence between availability of information in America compared to Russia, implying they are equal. They are not and what you are doing is disingenuous.

How many Western journalists are on the ground in Ukraine right now?

Ukraine has a very strong incentive to distribute misinformation... War morale and public support is essential to Ukraine's defence.

You think there aren’t journalists in Ukraine? Nolan Peterson, Sarah Rainsford, Lynsey Addario. I can go on

How many haven't been told by their respective government office to keep morale high in their reporting?
