Russians invent a dead girl to blame on Ukrainians. BBC nails them for lying AGAIN to "fuel hatred"



Russian proxy forces announced this death by shelling and all the occupiers believe it; three Russian TV networks reported it as fact. BBC finds out it was just more of Putin's bullshit that "fuels hatred [for Ukrainians] that drives this war."

Natalia Antelava investigates the story of a 10-year-old girl reported killed in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine - and is reminded that truth is the first casualty of war.

The BBC's reporting has been terribly biased as well. In fact I have seen several of this reporter's videos and she looks like someone out of fox news her bias is so thick. She is here dishonestly trying to leave the impression that the information war is one sided.

All this outrage, yet the bbc refuses to report the true stories such as the young girl that was run over by a tank and the subsequent riots that happened last month. NOTHING on the MSM about what was a major tragedy and incident.

The most important thing to realize is that everyone needs to work to end that war. Not stoke up venom. Otherwise a whole lot more fighting and tragedy will happen.


I would have much more respect in these reporters if they also did not conveneintly **not** report constantly when it does not suit their bias,

You scold the reporters for not reporting what you already believe... And then YOU blame THEM for behaving like Fox News???

You scold the reporters for not showing one particular story... Do you lament that russian media doesn't do accurate reporting?



Let me get your last point right: You want the BBC to say "Hey, everybody lies from time to time. We lie from time to time. And russian media also does, though they aren't as honest as us and would never admit it. Right? Right?"
