| Description: | That’s because it trafficks in misinformation about the war that we’ve encountered before. Previous posts have falsely claimed that various photos are evidence the war is fake, that video clips prove it’s staged, that it’s scripted. None of that was accurate, and neither is the claim that there’s no war in Ukraine. It defies more than a year of news coverage from reporters with media outlets from around the world giving dispatches from Ukraine, describing the front lines, the lives of civilians and more.
