It needs to be called out forcefully that #BBC in its news breaks, If not elsewhere tonight, is flat out lying about what #Trump is saying about #Ukraine.
Trump says plenty of idiotic stuff. BBC has plenty to work with to show him as an idiot. But putting out falsehoods about what he has actually said only undermines #journalism as a whole because everyone who heard the direct quotes will know that the press is lying.
This goes beyond US politics. This is a serious problem for the whole world, and it happens way too often.
@hsolerkalinovski ha, as fast as the news cycles progress, who even knows what they were talking about just a couple of days ago?
@volkris I have stopped regularly checking mainstream news a while ago. Now, I just check the news when someone spontaneously tells me about a particular topic, which I want to verify whether is true or false
@hsolerkalinovski I understand that sentiment!
In a way I stopped regularly checking many news sources as news sources a while back when I just got too annoyed with opinion taking the place of news.
These days I regularly follow them for both academic and practical reasons, which don't involve factual accounts of the world. On one hand it's really interesting to see how stories evolve based on assumptions and interpretations.
And on the other, if I know what different groups are talking about it makes it a lot easier to talk to acquaintances from those different groups. It makes a lot easier to understand what they're talking about if you know the background that they have been exposed to.
Pretty much just how all of society is working out these days 
@hsolerkalinovski oh! I was listening to a podcast about recent news that may have jogged my memory.
Now I might be wrong, but to answer your question, I think I was annoyed by a BBC report saying that Trump said that Ukraine started the war when that's not all what he said.
Trump is an awful communicator, but nowhere in the statements they were referring to did he say such a thing.
@volkris what did Trump say?
