PUTIN HAS FALLEN
The tense says it all. Putin is gone. No more President Putin.
And then there is the introduction underneath the thumbnail, which says:
‘Protests in Russia: Young Russians are Threatening Putin’s Rule.’
Now we have a different story: Putin is still there but his position is being threatened by young people. How, I might ask, when Putin still has the loyalty of the military?
I strongly suspect that ‘threatening’ should be replaced by ‘unhappy with’, and now we have a very different story.
This is today’s YouTube – fake news and wild exaggerations on
every line, in process of which even the more innocuous claims promise: ‘this
will terrify you!’ ‘Terrify’ is the current buzz word on YouTube uploads. And I’m
led to believe that social media is just the same. Is it any wonder that the
world is in such a muddled mess when it’s virtually impossible to take anything
you read in the media seriously? The overly rapid rise in technology is bringing the stupider and seedier side of the human condition to the fore and nobody seems to care. I wish I didn't.
