CNN ‘War Correspondent’ Clarissa Ward accidentally explained why the public is confused about what the corporate media are saying about the Ukraine war with Russia, compared to what is actually visible about the Ukraine war with Russia.
During a segment with Brian Stelter, Ms Ward explained how CNN war corresponding in Ukraine consists of talking about material provided to her by CNN production crews who sit and scour through YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and social media posts to find the input material for their stories.
Clarissa Ward didn’t mean to expose how the propaganda of modern warfare is created, but she did.
Ward was thanking the people in the background of CNN who search social media for their Ukraine content; however, in talking about what they do, she affirmed what we already knew was taking place.
People wondering why there is no visible ‘fight’ in this war, now find the baseline which Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh was talking about last week. The State Department, intelligence community and political participants in the U.S. government are constructing the “war” against Vladimir Putin through the prism of social likeability as a cultural weapon.
When the goal is to produce content that tells the “better story,” social media becomes the battlefield. War corresponding is reduced to using the corporate media platform to enhance the social media battlefield. Essentially you might call this “World War Reddit.”
The CNN war correspondent doesn’t even need to be in Ukraine, except for the fact they need some form of geographical context to create the credibility. The actual content of Ukraine material for the broadcast can just as easily be assembled in New York, California or mom’s basement in Illinois.
The social media content extracted by CNN workers, stationed anywhere, is then transmitted to the network producers who assemble the material, and a “war correspondent’ puts on a helmet and appears live on camera in Ukraine to discuss it.
This is modern journalism, aka propaganda creation, aka narrative engineering, and why there’s a lack of actual evidence for anything being attributed to the narrative surrounding the war between Ukraine and Russia. WATCH:

I trust a handful of ‘on the ground news sources’ : Lara, Sharyl, Andy and James are proven reliable.
I trust almost nothing or no one in the media or government anymore. We need a people media….and no, not Facebook or Twitter.
Not going to get it…….so, instead,,,,you need to pay attention to all relevant events that affect whatever is happening, and learn how to put them together,,,,,requires a lot of work.
Agree. Find views on Ukraine & their president, relating to doing “laundry” for Brandon & Son, & Soros financial support, good for the eyesight. Sadly, they’ll escape all the hell of any conflicts & innocents will not.
The laundry users are trying to destroy America.
As the saying goes, “Show me your friends & I’ll know what kind of person you are.”
Is she really “live” or is it green screen and sound effects those marvelous narrative engineers at CNN have been able to unearth?
Like Cooper Anderson, who jerks his head around while on the air and proclaims “Did you hear that?” ! There were others too. I think it was Tucker Carlson who had a short clip of all the head jerks and big eyes. It does make you wonder about the theatrics.
Maybe he’s a robot and is short circuiting.
Lying on TV for a paycheck reminds me of another, older profession.
presstitutes
Trouble is she believes the crap she is spelling about people coming through at Geo locating it pretty in proper context she believes that!
Several things about this invasion are not in dispute:
1) not targeting infrastructure
2) not targeting civilians
3) not entering the capitol
It’s HARD to make sense of it if you’re avoiding the rumors and of course disregarding what Putin said to the work specifically.
The rumors say that among the designated military targets are bio-weapons labs. And of course Putin said he is going after the corruption in the Ukraine government.
Was all of this triggered by the globalist left when they told China they were planning to bring Ukraine into NATO? Feels like it.
And with that framework of understanding it makes sense that Putin would move to take the Ukraine government to avoid anyone from joining NATO. But what of the military targets? And especially what of these bio-weapons labs?
the military units that have been shelling the break away regions for the last couple of years …
and the break away regions are not shelling anyone. just celebrating.
THEN: Big Pharma and GlobalCorporate media promoting and propagandizing Covid & The Vaccines. NOW: Military Industrial Complex and GlobalCorporate media promoting & propagandizing Putin-Biden & The Ukraine.
The entire personnel edifice of U.S. government bureaucracy is degenerate and perverse. The only interest FEDGOV employees have is self-interest. Everything they do should be eliminated. Every place they work should be stripped to the walls. Nothing they or their departments stand for is beneficial to the well-being of the United States or its citizens.
Another great column on this topic………..by Glenn Greenwald.
“War Propaganda About Ukraine Becoming More Militaristic, Authoritarian, and Reckless”

Makes it a lot easy to report from the balcony of the rooftop bar at the Sheraton.
CNN has neither the money or the nads to send actual war correspondents to Ukraine. What does anyone ever expect from those useless idiots? They will be shutting the whole thing down as soon as Stelter and the Gang Green Goober heads can find new propaganda positions elsewhere.
The first televised war was Viet Nam. All of the media and documentary coming out of Viet Nam shows physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted combatants with hollow eyes. What it also shows is the filth. War is filthy beyond the comprehension of the majority of the worlds inhabitants as they have never had to experience war. I do not see filthy combatants in any of the videos being shown. Hollywood does a better job of showing the filth of war in such movies as ‘Black Hawk Down’ or, my favorite, ‘Fury’, which is an accurate depiction of the filth of war. I think that, by design, this “war” is so surgical that the carnage desired by world media cannot be found and the media is at least smart enough not to go near an ammo or fuel dump targeted by a missile.
FAKE cnn is nothing but a TRASHY , LYING opinion network that is full of nothing but Pervs , back door accepting helmet chewers !! It’s no wonder that with all their lying and FAKE narratives , that they are IMPLODING within !!!
Looks like she ditched the hijab. Will she have kind words for the Ruskies as much as she had for the Taliban? So their staff get paid thousands of dollars to sit on the internet looking for material? All the money the corporate media has and they don’t do much on-the-ground reporting? Quelle surprise!!
biden is sending millions of $$ to Ukraine, but he is also continuing to buy oil from Russia. How can that reconcile?
And why isn’t anyone in msm asking about it??
Reminds me of Geraldo in Viet Nam
CNN hasn’t been a trustworthy or honest news source since Benghazi. I remember Wolf Blitzer reporting from Baghdad during the first night of the bombing crying like a baby.
I turned them off almost 10 years ago.
I remember Clete Roberts when he broadcast during Korean War from war zone.
He also broadcast from WWII.
From what I recall, I’d say they broke the mold &
ironically, he’s remembered for some fictional work he did after his real reporting.
