UK Telegraph:
9/15/22: “The Telegraph did not see any evidence of that scale of death during a visit [to Izyum] on Thursday.”
9/16/22: “Reporters at the scene did not see proof of that [signs of torture].”
Reuters, 9/16/22:
“Advisory – Story has been withdrawn”
…………………….
9/17/22, “Ukraine – Dissecting Some War Propaganda News Items – Addendum," Moon of Alabama
“This is a follow-up to yesterday’s piece about Reuters unfounded propaganda claims and distribution:
9/16/22, “Ukraine – Dissecting Some War Propaganda News Items,” Moon of Alabama
9/16/22, Reuters via Yahoo, [8:32AM]
“Multiple bodies found at mass burial site in Ukraine’s Izium with rope around necks”
[9/16 Reuters image caption: “Ukrainian
serviceman walks among graves of mostly unidentified civilians and
Ukrainian soldiers at an improvised cemetery in the town of Izium”
[Reuters, 11:02AM, 9/16/22]: “Advisory – Story has been withdrawn – Multiple bodies found at mass burial site in Ukraine’s Izium with rope around necks”
[“Reporting by Reuters TV; Writing by Gareth Jones; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne”]
While Yahoo and others have deleted the body of the story, its false headline is still up.
Repeating the closing sentences of yesterday’s [Moon of Alabama report] pamphlet:
“It is not the ‘fog of war’ that clouds such new reporting. It is the
propaganda that was ordered up
to incite the ‘western’ population
against Russia and its citizens and soldiers.
Without further backup and proof
one can not, and should not,
believe any news item coming from the Ukrainian and other wars.”
Added (6:10 UTC):
Interestingly the British Telegraph is more skeptical than the ‘British’ news agency Reuters:
9/15/22, 9:25PM, “Inside Izyum – and the Russian command centre destroyed by Himars missiles,” by Roland Oliphant and Sergio Olmos in Izyum
“Anton Herashenko, an advisor to the Ukrainian interior ministry, told the BBC on Thursday [9/15] that about 1,000 bodies had been found in Izyum and that more civilians
had died there than in Bucha.
The Telegraph did not see any evidence of that scale of death during a visit [to Izyum] on Thursday. Hrigory[, a 63-year-old civil engineer,] denied knowledge of any war crimes.
“We didn’t interact with them, and they didn’t interact with us,” he said of the Russians. “From what I know, there wasn’t detentions, executions, torture.”
“There were a lot of young men who would say ‘we won’t shoot any bullets,’” he added.”
And another one from the Telegraph [9/16/22, 4:53pm]: [9/16 headline is not corrected to reflect findings of Telegraph’s own reporters in Izyum the day before]
“‘Tortured’ bodies unearthed in mass graves of liberated town Izyum”
“Oleksandr Filchakov, the head of the Kharkiv prosecutor’s office, said some showed signs of torture.
Reporters at the scene did not see proof of that [signs of torture].””
