Mainstream media unilaterally follow NATO's propaganda. They omit important information about the proxy war in Ukraine and overlook the background that led to the war. Peace efforts are hardly mentioned, and war opponents are defamed. They engage in strategic framing, or in other words: lying by omission. Patrik Baab delves into the causes: precarious employment, ownership structures, the dominance of public relations, digitalization, anticipatory obedience, and transatlantic networks. He describes the media as ideological apparatuses that produce post-factual journalism. A reporter who has witnessed the devastations of war in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Kosovo holds a mirror up to his industry.
