It's all just so angry

But you have the BBC. It seems to me that they do not cross the border.

There's enough of it - people giving Covid advice to people in poorer countries who can't get vaccinated.

The way to fight plagiarism on Steemit is clear to me, but how to deal with false information is completely unknown. If I tell someone that he wrote nonsense and give evidence, he will give me 10 dubious evidence in his defense. This can go on indefinitely. And exposing false information is a big waste of time that can be spent more productively. Apparently we can't do anything with false information on Steemit.

Unfortunately, they do. They've been losing viewers for years and so they've started being rude to people too. You can almost hear the producers saying "ask him this, argue about that" and some of the nicest people on television have started being rude to people. Sadly, the BBC is no better than any of the other channels now.

I don't think we can do anything about false information because what are obviously lies to many of us, are somebody else's truth. There are some proper loonies floating around - it's best to keep out of their way!

Until now, I thought that this was a problem of the Ukrainian press. Our press is so fiercely hostile that sometimes people from eastern Ukraine are afraid to come to western Ukraine, and vice versa.

I'm sorry to hear the BBC is no better. It was one of those media that I trusted, though not 100 percent.

Money rules everywhere and everyone.

That's true. Tell anti-vaccineers that the vaccine will help them defeat the coronavirus. They will consider you a liar.

They're supposed to be impartial but that's been brought into question - especially during Brexit where there was a clear pro-remain bias. Every media outlet has their own agenda, some are explicit in saying so but others probably aren't aware of their own biases.
