German “Focus” magazine reports about horrendous losses of Ukrainian troops near Kupyansk – but the article is solely based on russian sources (i.e. fake news)

  3. Projection. Accuse the enemy of doing what you are doing. In this case, being destroyed.

  4. Focus has the „I hope Daddy Putler soon comes to Germany to free us from our NATOnazi government“ crowd as an audience. Those stories generate the clicks they need. It’s all about the money.

  5. Why panic? The article literally starts off by naming the sources and continuesly points out to them afterwards – a clear third level report.

    Atleast no stupid propaganda without naming sources but also not even a little bit anti UA as it just reports on TASS reports. 90% of media are covering IFSW and I think it is noteworthy what the “others” are thinking/ want their people to believe.

  7. You mean the article that **in the literal introduction mentions “according to russian sources”?**

    Yeah, well, they pretty much tell you *immediatly* to take it with a grain of salt. I really don’t see the big scandal here, maybe they could’ve phrased the headline a bit better.

  8. German here. FOCUS is known for lying. They are not a newspaper but a sensationalist highgloss magazine.
    They singlehandedly bankrupted an entire bank by lying. The owner of the bank had PRIVATE money problems (the bank was 100% solid). Focus was aware of that but bombarded the public with a fucking TV AD where their editor-in-chief shouted: “A lot of customers of that bank may lose all their money!”.
    So everybody immediatrly withdrew all their money, killing the bank.
    FOCUS=TRASH.
