Par for the course with this kind of crap.

The whole “f you russian battleship” and “ghost of Kiev” fighter pilot - turned out to be all bullshit.

Over half of Ukraine’s fielded tank fleet may consist of captured vehicles, UK says

Britain’s Defense Ministry said in its daily intelligence update that repurposed captured Russian equipment now makes up a large proportion of Ukraine’s military hardware.
“Ukraine has likely captured at least 440 Russian Main Battle Tanks, and around 650 other armoured vehicles since the invasion. Over half of Ukraine’s currently fielded tank fleet potentially consists of captured vehicles,” the ministry said via Twitter.
“The failure of Russian crews to destroy intact equipment before withdrawing or surrendering highlights their poor state of training and low levels of battle discipline,” it added.
The ministry said Russian forces were likely to continue to lose heavy weaponry, with its formations “under severe strain in several sectors and increasingly demoralised troops.”

Consensus

Scientific research is the most valuable, insight-filled source of data to ever exist. Yet, the current consumers of this information are the same people who are creating it. We are striving to build the tools that democratize scientific evidence and make the world a better place, by making it a more informed place.

As did the whole "Putin's not a psychotic dictator obsessed with reassembling the USSR, he's just afraid of NATO expansion."

Absolute Pure Unadulterated Bullshit.

I follow various news sites pretty much daily, several "business news" sites (which I find generally are less biased than others) and then the usual Fox/CNN/NPR/TheHill/etc.  They are like living in two different worlds often as not (three if I include biz sites).  For grins, I check MSNBC on occasion, they to me are close to being like these far right "news" sites, pretty close to 100% anti-Trump/republican/whatever.  Granted, much of the "news" on Fox is clearly anti-Biden, but they do sneak some news in on occasion here and there.  I also find Fox sells "fear", they will emphasize something scary more than most of the others.  I gather it gets clicks.

I find myself sort of smiling at times perusing one then another.

don't think I'd enjoy analyzing news sites for entertainment
