Earlier this month reports of a Russian missile attack on a market in Donetsk had Western media up in arms, breathlessly reporting on this latest merciless assault that killed 17 civilians. Except now a New York Times investigation has revealed overwhelming evidence that the missile was fired by Ukrainian forces, not Russia, underscoring how our media falls so promptly in line to blame the evil Putin even without any evidence beyond the word of Ukrainian officials.
Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the irresistible “Evil Russia” narrative that’s catnip to Western media.

So much suffering in the world. When can humanity move on to something new.
Sometimes they won't release numbers for a good minute and on this one they release numbers "as it happened" which is just very suspect to me itself
Kurt is kinda annoying lately
And now imagine how many more such strikes were from Ukraine, accidental or not, it doesn't matter, but how they introduced it into pro-Ukrainian propaganda, blaming Russia for their mistakes) It is enough to recall the case of Poland
If only this war was about Russian aggression.
This war is about much more. It is a war of Feudalism. It's us ("poor people") against the the rich.
This is going to be a disaster comparable to any war in history. At least half a million Ukrainians killed.
If they let me run a country and the US sent me trillions of dollars to fight Russia, l think l would false flag everything too – he's not crazy just greedy.
…the cashtrophic strike… : )))))))
at least they stopped targeting the nuclear plant … anger often clouds the mind
Just like the market bombing in Sarajevo. Same thing.
I'm so sick of the BS around this war. How do we stop the bloat of money our country is sending to Ukraine?? Killing your own people just to get more money is pure evil. When will people wake up to the travesty of all this and the corruption of our own government! Makes me sad and mad at the same time.
This war is the largest money laundering scam in history, you can bet Bidens numerous bank accounts are getting larger as this goes on, and you know so is zelyenskis
The BUKH is 30 years old and the ukrainians have used it for decades.
You didn't mention that elections were being held in these Russian controlled areas at the time. That definitely had something to do with it.
Kurt,please, ssssshhhh!!
where the hells jimmy anyway? ilits been like 4 weeks jimmys been gone
Kurt doesn't realize, that the fake news/propaganda is intended to influence lawmakers. They don't care whether his friends see it or not!
Не забудьте что перед ударом ракеты приехал блинкен
It was a Ukraine missile that flew into Poland too. Ukraine attacks Poland. Ukraine attacks Ukrainian civilians. Zelensky government isn't a government. It's a terrorist group. Another USA-deep-state funded terrorist group!
So will the New York times now be smeared as "Pro Putin Propaganda"? haha
Air defense missiles that fail to intercept their targets must come down somewhere. Furthermore, missiles do on occasion malfunction and come down on the wrong target. So I do not think the Ukrainians deliberately murdered their own people to create a false flag propaganda claim against Russia. I just think this was a missile that missed its intended target. But every time civilians get killed, the Ukrainian government and collective west reflexively scream "Russia did it!" Similarly, I think the deaths in Bucha last year were a combination of Ukrainian shelling when the Russians were occupying the village and Azov reprisals against civilians they thought had collaborated with the Russians after the Russians withdrew. That situation was loudly trumpeted as a Russian atrocity, but again, though I think it is not Ukrainian policy to kill civilians, I think civilians have been killed by their own side just by being caught in the crossfire and because the Ukrainian government hasn't had good control over the poorly disciplined Nazi units within its military.
The fact that Establishment rags are so quickly admitting this tells us that Ukraine is all but done. Remember how long they protected Ukraine over the deadly Poland bombing.
Why is this a discussion? Ukraine has been shelling civilians in Donetsk for 9+ years. Donetsk is Russia now. Why would Russia attack the people that they went to war to protect? Nobody in the mainstream media ever considers these questions.
Get rid of Kurt. He can barely speak a sentence.
Pasta and Kurt are learning….
But the colour should be khaki boys.
That’s why they ALWAYS win at Scrabble!
What's next? Chemical weapons? They might be able to pull that off to give us a push.
Ignorance and evil look the same from the outside. I think it's better to assume the former as a default and look for evidence that supports the latter. It could very well be evil intentions but it could also be a severe mistake. Does it really make a difference between the two? The outcomes won't have any noticeable difference from the outside perspective. People were hurt and the narrative exists the same as it does.
I urge you to consider adapting a healthier method to assess incidents by avoiding pointing fingers at face-value confirmations embedded by personal beliefs. I'm not declaring the intentions of this event, it doesn't look good either way, but we as entertainers and journalists must aim to speak with careful caution when our voice is meant to be heard by a larger audience and if the ultimate goal from talking is the pursuit of truth.
Cheers, keep it up guys. I'll be seeing you at your Orlando show!
The show goes of the rails in the first two minutes. Off track. 14 people fell off a plane in Afghanistan? Do you guys even have a meeting about what you're going to talk about each day? Take some ADHD meds for christ sake. I just figured out it was in fact a Ukraine missile that hit the market, and suddenly we are talking about what the US has done in other proxy wars. Let us at least get into the meat of the issue at hand before we digress into past events. I feel like Lewis black. FUCK!
American government paying to kill Ukrainians…
9.11. wasn't a false flag?! That was not even a joke. I just lost my hope in you guys. You really can not tell for yourself if a building this high having steal support stanchion would or would not fall this way after planes or even rockets hit, even if there was a fire for 2 days?
Kurt stop talking and let the sensible person do the talking. I am nearly leaving the Jimmy Dore show and it is all down to Kurt he adds nothing to the story and constantly Interrupts. I think he ruins the show I would just love him to listen let us hear the story then Kurt talk your google gooke so annoying .
Zelenskyy does not care if he starts world war 3 when he should be begging Putin to start Peace talks like most normal people want PEACE NOW..
Ukraine has been bombing their own citizens in East Ukraine since 2014. Of course, Ukraine did it. It isn't an accident, Ukraine has been doing this for years in the Donbass. Patrick Lancaster has been in Donetsk for a while and has talked to the people there about the daily bombings done there by Ukraine. They hate the ethnic Russian population in East Ukraine.
Most of the 3.6 million people living in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions speak Russian, areas attacked by Ukraine since 2014 for wanting free of the Kiev regime, the areas whose declared independence was recognized by Russia. That is how I remember it, so again, why did Russia attack them?
