Why isn't he dead from one of the dozens of cancers and other life threatening ailments that the media has claimed he has since the start of the invasion? Almost makes one wonder if we should really trust anything said by the media about our enemy's leaders.


> life threatening ailments that the media has claimed

I haven't seen anyone credibly claim this. Perhaps tweak your sources?


"The media" -- just because randos say that doesn't mean mainstream news is saying it's a fact.


It does seem like there’s been a trend of claiming “things I read on Twitter and don’t believe” as being out of touch MSM, while “things I read on Twitter and agree with” are the new journalism disrupting the status quo.


Yup. They loosely associate whatever poster with "being on the MSM's side" and basically attribute it to them. When in reality, an organization like NYTimes is on the leading forefront of fact collecting and verification -- even though it has a metropolitan liberal bend.


It comes straight from Kremlin. You can't be the bad guy if you are ill. Stir some compasion for yourself and you can kill innocent people.


"Putin is about to fall this year" is on the same level as "20XX Year of the Linux on the Desktop" as a meme.

Good or bad news is news, life as normal is unappealing.
