The MSM's Ukraine neo-Nazi Amnesia

As Russia invaded Ukraine, the entire MSM joined in lockstep to give us a narrative. An important part of the narrative was that Russia’s claim that Neo-Nazi’s are a force in Ukraine is a Kremlin lie.

It is a narrative that is easily unraveled by the MSM’s own past articles. So far, no MSM outlets are willing to discuss this ugly truth today. Anyone interfering with the narrative is said to be ‘Speaking Putin’s Talking Points’.

Follow Up Note:

As we teeter on the brink of global war, the MSM has chosen not to do any sort of investigative reporting. This has led us to this moment when ignorant well meaning New Yorkers are chanting ‘Azov’ in the Manhattan.

The Neo-Nazi truth in Ukraine is not to be discussed. Anyone discussing it is immediately accused of spouting Putin’s Talking Points.
