It
has been clear for some time that US corporate news media have explicitly taken
a side on the Ukraine War. This role includes suppressing relevant history of
the lead-up to the war (FAIR.org, 3/4/22), attacking people who bring up that
history as “conspiracy theorists” (FAIR.org, 5/18/22), accepting official
government pronouncements at face value (FAIR.org, 12/2/22) and promoting an
overly rosy picture of the conflict in order to boost morale.
