Why the News Can Never Be Neutral, and What We Can Do About It
Briefly

The article discusses how global media reports on the Ukraine ceasefire vary dramatically, exposing the myth of journalistic neutrality. Each outlet presents narratives colored by its own biases, values, and contexts, leading to vastly different interpretations of the same events.
