NYTimes Admits Kostiantynivka Market Missile Strike Was Ukrainian (www.nytimes.com)

Weeks ago, there was fiery coverage of a missile strike on a Ukrainian market that Russia had callously carried out against the Ukrainian people. Independent commentators reviewing the footage at the time believed the missile actually came from Ukraine. Lo and behold, the claim that this missile was Russian has been walked back: Ukraine actually did this to her own people. It is thought that this civilian attack was carried out to bolster support for Ukraine during Blinken's visit. Truly disgusting if that is true, and a tragedy either way.

I'm surprised Western press isn't burying this.

this article still makes slight concessions to appease the capitalists. "they just missed, it was just a little whoopsie!". sometimes its easier for them to skew the truth in their favor than to deny it.

The article is completely skewed for the UA side, even before we read what it is about we learn from it how Russia bad and UA good. And it still prompted that one absolute moron on Lemmy to announce that NYT is "Russian propaganda masquarading as news" and then blabber about "journalistic integrity" as he flies even further from any integrity.

Also interesting how there can be hundreds comments making Russia bad circlejerk under every Russia bad article, but there are just few under this.
