When the dust settles, will the West’s media coverage get a passing grade, or will we find, at times, we allowed our sympathy for the Ukrainian cause to overlook matters we shouldn’t?

    The first casualty of war is truth.

    But also, such bad pronoun use is classic centrist drivel. Who is “we”? Does the author mean themself, or their publication? Of course not. They want to blame you and me … for their own reporting… which may or may not be horrible shit, they speculate, but they haven’t decided just yet.

    (I am not commenting on the war itself here. Only the sad excuse for journalism.)

      Haha yeah. It’s an “are we the baddies?” moment.
