Telegram, to find the stories the mainstream media avoids until it's no longer avoidable. Basically gives me the news months in advance, without all the bs. Remember when all the mainstream media wrote it was safe and effective, made you immune, and prevented spread? The real experts were blocked and banned from most places but Telegram, so that's where they went. And only lately has the mainstream media started to write about it. Remember when all the mainstream media wrote that the war would last only a few weeks? Remember when they wrote Russia was losing? Remember when they wrote, and still write, that the economy is only seeing a temporary setback, and will bounce back, even though banks are crashing? Yeah, no thanks, I prefer the truth rather than propaganda.

That's the one topic you chose to pick from my list? Well, my point was simply that mainstream media, from more or less day one of the war, have written why Russia is close to losing the war. Yet they're still in Ukraine. We rarely, if ever, hear how Ukraine is losing the war, yet the premise is more or less the same.
