Well, yes and no, even people who are strongly anti-Russian-regime-oriented told me that they stopped reading Meduza because it's giving info which is extremely one sided and not objective, like it's propaganda but opposite to a Russian-state one

[oytis]

They might not be as anti-regime as they like to think. Apart from Meduza, I also read mainstream UK, US, German and Ukrainian media, and Meduza doesn't seem to be more biased than either of those. Their predictions of regime's difficulties seem to be exaggerated (compared to what seems to be happening in reality), but so are predictions of Western media.

The entire situation is extremely one sided -- I would be highly skeptical of any source that does not paint Russia and Putin in a terrible light.

Most people are like this for many issues on either side. If your media outlet isn't pouring kool-aid over your personally held belief it's viewed as suspect. Meanwhile your mind quickly discounts obvious contradictions to your held belief.

Popular contradictions today: It's a human right to dress and act like any sex one chooses. It's evil and horrible to dress and act like a different race.

Global warming is the biggest threat to mankind. Coming into the office is more important.

Flying around the globe is to talk down to others who are doing more about global warming earns praise.

In terms of guilt sure, but you still want to read unbiased journalism about events etc.

There is no free press in Russia:

Meduza is based in Riga, Latvia.

My point was it's tough to get objective news from a Russian source.

[jononomo]

My point is that unbiased journalism regarding the Ukraine war is going to look extremely one-sided.

[Dah00n]

How so? Seems you are biased to one side and see everything not agreeing with this bias as one-sided.

[xyzelement]

How would you/we know what unbiased is?

[Dah00n]

> I would be highly skeptical of any source that does not paint Russia and Putin in a terrible light.

So basically you picked a side and trust only what news agree with your beliefs?

[urinotherapist]

What wrong with that? We have moral compasses built-in. When someone says that murdering of people is OK, because Russia will be great again, should we throw out our moral beliefs and carefully listen to both sides?

[Dah00n]

In a discussion about unbiased news, it is pretty clear what is wrong about it.
