'our free press' isn't and here is some evidence to show you why i say that;

Russia’s siege of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, Ukraine, has officially ended in surrender, not an “evacuation” like The New York Times is now falsely claiming.

The fake news giant wants the world to believe that Ukrainian fighters were rescued, seems to be the implication, rather than forced to concede to Russian forces, which now fully control the facility.

According to the Times, it was Ukraine that somehow ended its “combat mission” in Mariupol. Ukrainian troops were “evacuated” to Russian-controlled territory by Russian forces, we are told, while the wounded were hauled off to a Russian-controlled hospital.

It turns out that this “paper of record,” as the Times is often called, completely ignored the fact that roughly 300 Azov militants surrendered to Russian forces. This sounds nothing like what the Times wrote in a tweet about the matter:

“Breaking News: Ukraine ended its ‘combat mission’ in Mariupol and said fighters were being evacuated, signaling that the battle at a steel plant was over.”

This is some amazing wordplay that completely misrepresents what actually occurred in Mariupol. As we have come to expect, however, this is par for the course when it comes to the corporate media’s misreporting on such matters..........read more.......
