“Maybe the Russians are better at filtering the truth”
Some of them
And only maybe there, where they had experience during their history.

Thankfully RT, France24 and China(something) broadcasters are easily available.
While I generally trust the BBC (most of the time) It is good to have other perspectives

I doubt that RT is any more impartial than Fox news or CNN and watching both is sometimes just weird – are they really reporting from the same planet

I agree that Russians are probably more educated to filter out the truth from the background noise but that skill has only been learnt because the tales they were often told were just not plausible.

Maybe the Russians are better at filtering the truth and the western media are better at hiding the deceptions with a larger proportion of truth

The link above from jackUK is really good so I will, Thanks

Good images and analysis of how Reuters faked photos I like the first one of how a “dead women” being moved by a nurse clutches her arm for support.

But ex-soviet people have good immunity for this, they can think and analyze information to find small pieces of the truth in news-flow from both sides (we learned that for 70 years). Western peoples definitely can’t do this. They do believe in democracy in US, in independence point of view of CNN etc.

The show that is created on TV and othe meadia impress western people. Every speeches of many western politic follows always same rules.
1. Use cliches
2. Don’t use to much details and facts
3. Never talk about facts presented by opposite side, ingnore them. Just do as where they are not existent.
4.just repeat own statement which people have to learn again and again like. Cause you know “repetition is a mother of learning.” (Russian or Soviet slogan) One good example is “Russian aggression”.

and so on.

Also you can imagine what picture ramаins in the head of people even “intelligent” if media
do this day by day.
Media are even don’t need to lie, so therefore i don’t understand CNN, they just unproffesionl
Cut the story as you wish to see it. So you don’t need to lie. Just cut the unwanted parts and repeat and repeat, that parts what the people should believe.

This is very might technique, work well in the “west democracy”

Let me open one secret for you – Santa Claus is not exist!
I mean – fair and independent journalist is a fairy-tale creature. It’s always “Pravda” against “Völkischer Beobachter” show.

They think Saakashvily is not Bush’s puppet, Russia attacked small brave Georgia just for fun, 2000 peoples were not murdered by Georgians at start…

One good thing is here – nobody cares what western people think, especially their governments.
