#NarrativeControl

I've been interested in the developments in the #media since after the invasion of #Ukraine. It seems to me that the west is trying hard to control the #narrative in it's own countries. I see different ways that this is done:

Please comment if you have suggestions for improving the list, or more examples

PS: In addition to these #restrictions on journalists, there must be a lot of initiatives to strengthen the #narrative that the west is itself creating, but i don't know much about those

Civilians Fled Ukraine's Shelling of Popasnaya For Safety in Stakhanov, But Ukraine Bombs There Too

On June 24, I went with journalist Roman Kosarev to Popasnaya, a Lugansk People's Republic front line city that had been liberated a month prior but was still being pounded by Ukrainian shelling, including when we were there.

We also went to Stakhanov, a city to the east, where many refugees from Popasnaya and other regions being shelled by Ukraine have taken shelter.

Ukraine is targeting that city, too. So, these fleeing civilians find no peace and continue living a nightmare of endless bombing.

On July 3, Russia's Ministry of Defence announced that all of the Lugansk People's Republic has been liberated from Ukrainian forces.

After 8 years of Ukraine's war on the people of the Lugansk & Donetsk republics, the liberation of the LPR is a victory which corporate owned media will downplay or ignore, but for the people it means a massive step towards a return to peace and stability.

But even with this positive development, the tragic reality is that Ukraine continues to bomb civilian areas, with no military target, the only purpose being to kill and maim more people in the Donbass republics.

Ukraine Bombarded Donetsk, Including Bombing a Maternity Hospital, Then Claimed Russia Did It

https://youtu.be/rsLWcR21iK8

On June 13, Ukraine unleashed a torrent of bombing all over Donetsk city, killing six civilians, including one child, and injuring tens more.

[...]

The Ukrainian shelling began late morning, resumed in the afternoon, and continued heavily for another two hours in the evening, a deafening series of blasts throughout the city, terrorizing residents and targeting apartment buildings, civilian infrastructure, industrial buildings, a gas station, hospitals, schools and a kindergarten.

Locals say this was some of the heaviest bombing of Donetsk since 2014.

One of the hospitals targeted was a busy maternity hospital with dozens of patients inside, an Uragan MLRS rocket going through the roof. Thankfully, they had taken shelter in the basement when the shelling started earlier in the day, so none of the women were killed as they might have been if in the delivery, gynecology or other top floor departments.

Even now, three days after the June 13 bombings, there is little mention of the maternity hospital or even of Donetsk itself being bombed by Ukraine.

Keep in mind this is the same western corporate-owned media that shrieked for weeks in March that Russia had bombed a maternity hospital in Mariupol, killing three. The reality emerged that Ukrainian Nazi Azov forces had expelled the hospital staff in late February (so, prior to the alleged air strike), militarized the hospital, and staged a hoax, including setting off explosives to incriminate Russia.
