Ukrainian Dam Collapsed Due to Controlled Explosion: Report
Yep "falter" notice that not failing. Yes some joker said that news coverage was balanced yesterday. This is what I was talking about. There is no balance. Adjectives are positive for the narrative and always negative for thier opposition.
some news sources are better ie more reliable than others. Choose the right ones.
