So you agree that the US is being historically evil (even by its own standards), but the REAL problem is those nasty tankies calling out the way it’s propaganda works?
It IS “admits” because Iranian sources have been claiming for days that US casualties were being hugely underreported - in fact they were saying over 100. People like yourself were previously mocking his claim, now the propaganda apparatus has been forced to concede the truth.
Nah dog this is just bad spin. You scape goat me because I choose to speak up but it sure sounds to me like you’re living in your own little bubble. Personally I don’t know how many people have been killed on either side, I’ve just assumed it’s more than either side wants to admit because losing anyone is always more than the powers that be want to admit.
Reuters being about 2-3 days behind the conflict feels pretty normal. But like call it what you will. Maybe it is a global propaganda apparatus… But more likely it’s just people being careful and slowing down transmission speed so they can confirm what information they are passing along. Buy you know, you do you.
Spin is actually adding words like “admits” to a headline in order to lead the reader to a certain belief. In this case the .ml headline leads us to believe this information has been concealed. When a much more reasonable take is that you, me, and the average reader is probably coming across this info for the first time. It’s not been hidden, it’s new.
Seems like the take from .ml should be, “You fools, rise up! Your government is getting your countrymen killed in a bullshit war, AGAIN!”
But this headline spins it to read as, “This bullshit war is getting people killed but the government is hiding it, wake up sheeple!”
The first is a cry to come together the second serves to divide us small people.
I think the reason you’re getting so confused is you’re failing to consider the media context that “Reuters” arises from. It’s literally the state media apparatus by which the British media system gets their marching orders from the corrupt capital/espionage axis. (That’s what being a wire service in the West means in practice)
You can choose your to do your activism however you want, I personally think being completely blind to homegrown propaganda makes for a movement that is completely ineffectual and easy to “herd”

You’re so brave for defending Reuters. What would they do without heroes like you? 🤡
Spin is when the propaganda is coming from outside of NATO apparently
