Throughout the Ukraine war, Western news outlets have mindlessly parroted the opinions of a ruling elite and overseen a public discourse that is often unhinged from the real world. 

Patrick Lawrence was a correspondent and columnist for nearly 30 years for the Far Eastern Economic Review, the International Herald Tribune and The New Yorker. He is the author of Somebody Else's Century: East and West in a Post-Western World and Time No Longer: America After the American Century.

But everyone knows that it's MI5/6 great way to send spy's all over the world especially in places of trouble not All but I'm sure many in the BBC. Citizen funded no advertisements required, we fund it through the BBC tax and they send agents to your door if you do not have an update license. Great idea I'm sure RT, Al Jazeera etc have government operatives working as photographers and journalists if anyone thinks I'm wrong I'd be very interested in why.?

I remember, as a child , hearing that my dads parents had been released from Siberia in the 1950s , when Stalin died. My dad was imprisoned in the Lubyanka prison in 1940, after Stalin had done a deal with Hitler to carve up Poland and western Ukraine between them(1939) and 20 thousand Poles had been murdered by Russian troops in the Katyn forest. My dad was 18 years old at the time and had been studying at a Ukrainian orthodox seminary. (this was how you got a further education as a Ukrainian peasant farmer, but my dad was thinking about becoming apriest before the Russians invaded his country). He was arrested as a political prisoner for being unable to grass up his neighbours for non existent transgressions.. This apparently made him an enemy of the Soviets. He was 18. He had committed no crime except for being a Kulak. ((Ukrainian peasant) His younger brother was shot , in the late 1940s for distributing pro democratic literature.. By this time my dad had settled in England , after fighting with the Polish forces, against the Nazis in North Africa and Italy (Monte Casino). He was not to hear from his parents for another 10 years. Stalin murdered millions of Ukrainians < indeed he murdered millions from other subject nations, afte4r which time he settled many Russians in the areas of Ukraine denuded of its native population- There are great historical parallels with the American treatment of Native American populations. This happened to the grandparents of Ukrainians now fighting against a russia which,on its own, internal Russian tv admits its genocidal intent in Ukraine.

A perfect example of this is the Zelensky 'fundraising' visit to the UK last week. He was there unashamedly, with hat in hand, despite the buried story from some months back that 17 million pounds of military aid, donated by the UK a few months before, had just 'disappeared' without a trace. No inquiry. No investigation. No request from the UK to uncover the whereabouts of that donation. Nothing. It was as if it never happened, and Zelensky was still being paraded around and championed and showered with more millions, no questions asked.

I loved having a Twitter account because I felt like I had a voice, able to post my views and opinions, all well-researched, on a number of subjects. I turned my attention to Ukraine & posted information given to me by citizens remaining in that country. Overwhelmingly they reported that once the Russians landed they felt 'safe' enough to leave their homes at will and walk the streets whenever they wanted with family or friends. Clearly this didn't match up with the mostly Western mainstream media's view of Zelensky as a SAVVY POLITICIAN AND saviour of the people. Many unimpeachable political commentators attributed Zelensky's success in the 2019 general election as being due to his recognizability, having been a comedic performer in Ukraine for years, and most of all for having NO political experience as a sudden surge of republican sentiment gripped the nation following years of oligarchic rule. Pointing this out resulted in a sudden and unforeseeable (according to Musk) issue with some Twitter accounts. My account, history and followers was wiped.

Have you noticed that they are now asking for long range rockets/ missiles...this is what a county does when they don't have enough boots on the ground, they have all but stopped asking for rifles/ammo.

During the Vietnam war , the first casualty of war was truth. Embedding newspaper reporters with the small army units was the most clever way preventing them from getting the over all picture of the war if they were allowed freely to investigate on their own as traditionally in previous wars.

Yemen was punished for voting in the U.N. against the US invasion on Iraq. The U.S . withdrew economic aid to Yemen and instructed Saudi Arabia to deport Yemenite workers -- and Yemen continues to be punished to this day. U.S. imperialism is the center of all evil on this earth - and with its partner in crime - U.K are doing the dirty work for Pharisees of Isra'el - more commonly known these days as Zionists. ..And I am born of a Russian Jewish mother - who herself was born in Ukraine in November 1920 - Many escaping conflict in Russia migrated across to Ukraine - Germany and Poland - many also went to Iran - and British colonies in Africa. People traveled across Europe like gypsies for a quarter of a century - Life as a refugee is extremely difficult - and many don't survive the hardship. We are again heading in that direction.

It wasn't just the Bush invasion of Iraq, but also the bombing of Serbia before that, that made me realise the mainstream media was not being very honest and they were pushing a government agenda. This is not the same media that was more open during the Vietnam war. Funny thing is during the invasion of Iraq, I never heard the media mention "Unprovoked". But since the war in Ukraine that word is often heard. I would say the Russian invasion of Ukraine was "very provoked" by NATO and by Ukraine itself, in attacking the Russian speaking people of Donbas.

Yes, and all the more because, some of us (coming off US war crimes in S.E. Asia) were foolish enough to believe that the US people had learned a definitive lesson with regard to the MIC and the corporate media. All it took was some synchronized drum beating by the corporate press and some deliberate lies about ''babies torn from incubators''. And every time these people were successfully stampeded, the false flags got more outrageous. Now, these sociopaths, ''elites'' as they style themselves, neither fear the masses nor have any respect for their discernment. The people seem as mentally vacuous as their parasitical ''elites'' are corrupt, bumbling, and mad. To make matters even worse, the (order of magnitude) tens of trillions that are ''missing'' were most likely spent on huge DUMBs (deep underground military bases)- clean water, nuclear power, high speed rail (even universal healthcare!), where these psychopaths believe they can retreat to (as some 7.95 Billion of us die) and upload their ''brilliance'' into some transhuman cyborg and live forever. Kushner gave a speech on this latter part just last week! ''They'' are quite mad, and cruelty is the trademark kink of their screwy death cult.

China is the existential threat to the plutocratic bourgeoise elite in the west. They are probably the only power in the world left that can break neoliberals stranglehold on the world. The neoliberals are deathly afraid of what might happen to them if their hegemonic control is ever broken. This is life and death to them because if they ever lost that control, especially the media control, we will be waking up from our propaganda induced stupor and we will start eating the rich. Literally and figuratively.

Thank you for telling the truth. I'm an African American woman. And many African Americans don't know azov battalion are neo nazi's. It's an shame that black Americans are rooting for neo nazi's that are equal to the kkk. It just amazes me. Unbelievable. It's real very sick to be honest about the situation. As Mississippi don't have clean water AT THIS VERY MOMENT IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY And at the same time blacks working in Mississippi paying taxes are suffering and their TAXPAYERS money is going to zelensky and his regime in Ukraine billions. It's beyond sick. SHEILA A Jackson needs to be removed Maxine waters need to be removed. It's just unbelievable. Let your people suffer and take care of the neo nazi's. They are nothing but an DISGRACE to the African American community. Sick!!! Educate yourself people.

Fr it is insane. Too many people who couldn’t point Ukraine out on a map suddenly have an opinion on it. Everybody’s a self-proclaimed “free-thinker.” Also insane to watch useful idiots downplay fascism in Ukraine. It’s not just Azov, they have public statues commemorating Bandera. The Ukrainian soldiers have black suns, and SS symbols on their uniforms in mainstream media photos covering the war. Ukrainian Nazis killed uncountable Jews and others in the Holocaust by bullets. Zelensky has banned every left wing party, and it’s now illegal to organize a union in ukraine. What fucking part of that isn’t fascism? I’m pretty concerned about the consequences of this war.

Listening to actual real journalists, a profession that is getting rarer and rarer, makes us understand the level of lies and propaganda our brain is subjected to each and every day if one is lazy enough to not do his own research to try to discerne the truth, or the closest one can get to it, amongst the brutal censorship and relentless propaganda of the mainstream media. The only way to even try to get close to the truth is without a doubt following the few remaining real journalists still in existence, meaning the independent ones.

Why does our mainstream media call our fighters/killers "volunteers" or "aid workers"? if you watched Grayzone, Redacted, Scott Ritter, Grayzone, Patrick Lancaster, Eva Bartlett, Richard Nedhurst, etc., you'd clearly see the evidence of why USA and UK have been training Ukrainian thugs since end of 2013, why East Ukraine population have been bombed for so many years because they are mostly Russian people. Tattoo parlours in Ukraine advertising swastika removals for travellers abroad. Real footages years old where they strip and tie up Russian population on posts, belt them some to death, stamping on heads, just for being Russian. How deepstate Weapons Manufacturers create wars around the globe so then governments can steal tax payers money to send "aid". Which in turn a lot of it goes back to elites incl corrupt leaders such as Boris Johnson and Biden. Our mainstream also gets paid by deepstate.,

Such an excellent point (and truth) saying that “embedding” didn’t exist prior to 1990. In Vietnam, the war correspondents went without being embedded with a platoon or other military groups (thus, seeing and writing what the military wanted them to say). They wrote and took photos of what they, as journalists who knew what WE citizens should know about a war that was tearing us apart.

Thanks, Chris, for this remarkably frank and revealing interview with seasoned journalist, Patrick Lawrence. I watched it the first time that you broadcast it last year - and I suppose I would be happy to revisit it, again and again. To me, you have gained a lot of wisdom in your News careers and a noticeable incredulity of what passes for mass media News, nowadays. Patrick was being polite when he referred to the correspondents he mentioned as political "Activists." In my mind, they are simply complicit with the powers-that-be, who all hold "Money" as their almighty God. I have a background in studying the Humanities - and I believe in "Advocacy Journalism" - at least when it is based on seeking to advance the best interests of humankind over the expedient interests of the monied interests who have us all by the 'balls,' so to speak, anyway...

The Ukraine war has pushed demands for everyone's Loyalty to the established Story, the established watchwords to heights we have not seen in the West since the last days of Stalin. Ever since then, the right to make one's own opinions on current policies and to question "your own side" has been seen as a given thing, at least in principle. Even as a sign of strength: we're strong enough as a society not to need constant affirmations of loyalty and sloganizing. But the Ukraine conflict suspended much of this, on our part. Anyone who dares question the wisdom of NATO and EU policies, the reasonableness of Biden, Blinken and Stoltenberg or the heroic qualities of Zelensky is now seen as a Russian collaborator, an agent or a jerk. And most of the western news media have really ditched their normal principles of careful fact-checking, criticism of hyperboles and attempting to get behind political spin, because "we don't want to hurt Kiev's effort of selling the war and marshalling support", therefore they won't really scrutinize what Kiev and their cronies are saying in any useful way. This is a massive let-down of the standards the news media claim to live by.
