    Interesting comparison between CNN _Europe vs CNN U.S.

    CNN US:

    A big loss for Putin. A CNN glow piece on Biden in true Pravda style

    quote:


    The visuals, the body language and the setting all converged to help President Joe Biden achieve what he wanted — From the start of the Geneva summit, Biden looked confident and relaxed. In contrast, Putin, who has made an art of appearing smug and almost bored, looked tense and on his guard. Then Biden took the initiative, extending his hand first to Putin, who walked over to grasp it. In his press conference, Putin, in true autocratic form, took responsibility for nothing and tried ham-handedly to defend himself from accusations of human rights abuses by highlighting social problems in the United States. Perhaps after years of repressing an independent media in Russia, he has lost his ability to answer tough questions, such as those asked by American journalists. By meeting with Putin, and letting him showcase his signature evasive style, Biden was able to use the Russian president as a prop — a show-and-tell for his campaign to demonstrate that authoritarianism is a malign force. Still, overall, the meeting was a loss for Putin, who sounded defensive and cryptic. And yet, he went out of his way to say he respects Biden, calling him "an experienced statesman... very different from President Trump" — a comparison sure to hurt his predecessor. Biden looked satisfied when it was all over, appearing convinced that he had drawn some clear red lines in the roughly 160 minutes of face-to-face meetings. The visual contrast could not have been sharper from the last US-Russia summit, the Russian president so self-satisfied, the US president, looking cowed and making such counterproductive comments that Trump's own adviser at the time, Fiona Hill, said she considered faking a medical emergency — "a loud blood-curdling scream" — to make it stop. Instead of the acquiescent, slumping former president, Biden looked invigorated against the bright outdoor backdrop. He explained why it's important for the two countries to work together where possible and to try to manage their differences when they can't. In what looked like a slip up, the US president did lose his temper near the end of his presser. CNN's Kaitlan Collins had asked why he's confident Putin will change his behavior, and Biden snapped back, "I'm not confident he'll change his behavior." He later said he shouldn't have been "such a wise guy" and owed Collins an apology. And with that, Biden wrapped up his first international trip, having started the process of fortifying the alliances Trump had eroded, raising the world's trust in US leadership and successfully drawing a contrast between an autocratic, repressive leader — in power because he has crushed his opponents — and a democratically elected one, battling the anti-democratic forces at home and abroad.

    CNN EU:


    CNN - Putin got exactly what he wanted from Biden in Geneva
    quote:

    CNN (Europe)

    Putin got exactly what he wanted from Biden in Geneva
    by Matthew Chance and Luke McGee, CNN
    June 17, 2021

    Geneva and London (CNN) Even before US President Joe Biden met with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, expectations were low.

    Beyond some basic commitments on reinstating diplomats and agreeing to open "constructive" dialogue with the US on issues like cyber security and foreign policy, Putin gave no indication that the two leaders' first face-to-face meeting on Wednesday had compelled a change of heart. No number of friendly words, it seems, will stop the Russian leader from continuing to forcefully pursue his political agenda both at home in Russia and abroad with near total impunity.

    Despite saying at the top of his press conference that he didn't think there was "any kind of hostility" between himself and Biden, Putin launched into a familiar diatribe of anti-US whataboutism to deflect criticism of the Russian Federation.
    ....

    The optics of the summit were almost tailored to suit Putin's domestic needs. The meetings were requested by the US, which as far as the Kremlin is concerned, confirms that Putin is a leader of similar stature to the US President.

    "This is exactly what the Kremlin wants. To talk to the US as equals and in such a way that the other side does not demand a change of position as a condition of dialogue," says Oleg Ignatov, Crisis Group's senior Russia analyst based in Moscow.

    "There is no doubt that Putin will continue to test Biden if the dialogue deadlocks or develops in a direction that is disadvantageous to Moscow. This is not yet the beginning of the normalization of relations. It is a pause in their further deterioration," he adds.
    ....

    In short, Putin went to Geneva and got exactly what he wanted. And he left Switzerland with a huge diplomatic victory, simply by turning up.

    Seems like CNN-US is yanking the cranks of those easily fooled. I guess you are easily led by charlatans when you believe in nothing.

    Interesting how CNN provides opinion pieces from opposing perspectives.

    Reuters: U.S. media least trustworthy in the world


    Reuters report via The Hill via Twitter
    quote:


    The U.S. media is the least trustworthy in the world, according to a comprehensive new Reuters Institute survey encompassing 46 countries.

    Yes, you read that right. The country with among the most resources in this arena - human, technical and otherwise - finished dead last. Finland ranked the highest, with a 65 percent trust rating. In Kenya, the trust rating clocked in at 61 percent.

    But here in the U.S.A., the home of global media giants including the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN, we're trusted by a whopping 29 percent of those reading and watching.

    Is anyone really surprised? Because in looking at polls over the past few years (even pre-Donald Trump) we've been trending in this dubious direction for some time.

    That is because the right wing has been deceived into being a bunch of know-nothings that only trust alternative news outlets that crop photos and promote blatant lies.

    These people are truly pathetic and full of crap... OpEd piece on CNN:


    "We thank soldiers for their service because they devote themselves to protecting our freedoms, and we should. But we should also thank the media for the same reason -- especially when the stakes have never been higher."
