  • “It's a shame people no longer trust the mainstream media and, while searching for truth, get hooked on fake news following Russian narrative.”

    I have a ‘mate’ who is exactly like this. His current news feed is RT News and no arguing with him will change his mind. I have tried to point out there must be truth somewhere in the middle ground. It hurts my head trying to change his mind.
    When RT News was taken off UK TV, he responded with ‘that’s because they tell the truth and the UK government don’t want anyone hearing the truth’.
    My head still hurts.

  • You can empathise thought, like the mainstream media (says BBC) barely talk about Brexit because of either having people in pocket or simply will not get interviews with government official.

    So I can see why people think like that.

  • I cannot empathise with him. He refuses to take any other opinion into consideration. I have numerous texts from him regarding the invasion of Ukraine - which, according to him, wasn’t going to happen. When it did - it wasn’t an invasion. When people were being killed - that’s fake news! I now try to avoid any conversation about it as it annoys me too much.

  • Brexshit was done, damage is plain to see to all, but this kind of 'whataboutism' is exactly why some people are getting dragged in to the dark side. We could throw in anything that annoy us or is not present on a mainstream media, but that would and should not be an excuse for turning a blind eye to, in this instance, the Russian invasion...
