A basic rule of journalism is that there are almost always two sides to a story and that journalists should try to reflect that reality, a principle that is especially important when lives are at stake amid war fevers. Yet, American journalism has failed miserably in this regard during the Ukraine crisis.
And not just Ukraine. I try to fill in that gap somewhat here, since it is not available in the Western media and especially not in US media, which is a mostly cheerleading and propaganda.
However, things are a lot better now than they were before the Interest, when what is now blogging was pretty much I. F. Stone's newsletter.
