WSJ 'Buries' Ukraine Corruption Story? How Unexpected.
Carlson's claim that the WSJ suppressed an investigation into Andriy Yermak, Zelensky's chief of staff, isn't just about Ukraine. It highlights a familiar pattern. Just as criticism of foreign aid to Israel is often dismissed as antisemitism, criticisms of US aid to Ukraine or its leadership are frequently censored or labeled as 'Russian propaganda.' It seems 'democracy' is only defensible when
its recipients are impeccably clean—or, more accurately, when their corruption benefits Western geopolitical strategies (see our reporting on Ghani's Afghan exodus here). The Journal previously reported on Zelensky's dismissal of top officials for alleged treason, yet a deeper dive into his inner circle, particularly concerning figures like Yermak repeatedly accused of corruption, seems to have
hit a editorial brick wall. The media's role, apparently, is to maintain the narrative, even if it means ignoring inconvenient truths that might question the continuous flow of billions in taxpayer funds. It's almost as if some stories are just too 'complex' for public consumption (or too 'off-message'). How many more billions will flow before 'corruption' stops being an 'allegation' and starts
being a 'pattern'?
