Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's going to be "interesting" to track the narrative and cultural revisions of this war in the west as time goes on. However unjustified/wrong Russia's act of aggression is and noble/just Ukraine's defence is, I have not been able to shake thoughts of the Iraq war in regards to mainstream western treatment of the war and just how much it seems to have forgotten that war is hell. I recall, just as it was starting, it was more acceptable or normal to talk about how the war lasting a long while would probably be the worst outcome simply due to the human toll and what are/were the likely inevitable outcomes. However true that was then or is now (I personally have no clue or expertise at all), forgetting that this human toll matters, at least for us to not forget that it's always there, seems to have generally been pushed aside (unless that's just the bubble I'm living in).
You’re commenting this on an article covering the human toll of this war. Telling us individual stories of people having to deal with losing limbs and chronic pain. As well as mentioning veterans battle with ptsd and even mentioning how one man that lost his leg wanted to kill himself. Not to mention recent articles from other mainstream outlets covering russias human trafficking of over 700,000 Ukrainian children and how there are currently over 90,000 reports of russian soldiers raping Ukrainians. The human side is being covered.
Yea the article was the prompt. The implication being that we might be seeing a shift in coverage at the moment compared to, say, a year ago.
Also, I’m asking questions about the mainstream and what’s common in it. Just did a quick check on The Guardian, as a random example, and couldn’t find any similar reporting. Big difference between “it is reported on some places, if you know where to look” and “mainstream media cares about this issue”.
And you missed his point
He is worried about the revisions/gaslighting that will happen 10,15,20 years from now.
