Western Media Discovers Public Opinion, Only When Convenient
While RT highlights that roughly 67% of Belgians oppose the "theft" of Russian assets for Ukraine, our leading news channels remain remarkably quiet on European public sentiment. Funny how polls are front-page news when they support the narrative (i.e., 'Putin Losing Support' or 'Western Allies United'), but become mere footnotes, if that, when citizens dare to question economic warfare. It’s
almost as if the 'free press' prioritizes government talking points over the actual opinions of the tax-paying public whose assets are ultimately at stake. This selective reporting isn't new; it's a feature. The public is rarely asked if they approve of billions in foreign aid, new sanctions, or the ever-escalating proxy wars. Instead, decisions made by a select few, often influenced by powerful
lobbying groups or defense contractors, are presented as unavoidable realities. The inconvenient truth that Europeans might prefer economic stability over prolonged conflict doesn't fit the 'united front' narrative. One might wonder if similar polls on U.S. public opinion regarding its own foreign aid sprees would ever see the light of day if the results weren't sufficiently hawkish.
