@USAmbUN all you parasites do is spread your Israeli and CIA agenda to the masses, nobody wants to attack Iran and nobody wants to help Israel murder more people.

fuck off you corrupt asshole

[David Groove @groovester007]

@USAmbUN Just like Iraq, you a looking for something there is not there and has not been happening for over 40 years just to defend your complicity in the genocide and war you started with your Is Raeli buddies. Pathetic pathetic pathetic. Are you a sick person?

Olga, I think your response says quite a lot about how The Kyiv Independent treats other journalists.

My Ukrainian editor used five seconds of your animated map and cropped out your logo. I didn’t know, and I didn’t catch it. That was wrong. He’s apologised, and I take responsibility.

But why on earth didn’t you just email me?

One message and I would have removed or replaced it immediately.

Instead, your team had an entire documentary with 1.3 million views taken down and put a copyright strike against my channel.

And now you’re lecturing me about journalistic solidarity?

Nobody disputes that your team deserves credit. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and choosing the most damaging option available without even attempting a conversation.

Your suggestion that I can simply re-upload the video is particularly insulting. You don’t magically recover 1.3 million views, the audience, the momentum or the damage to a channel by uploading another file. As the editor of a digital publication, you know that.

And this isn’t the first time I’ve heard troubling accounts of your organisation’s approach to copyright, including disputes with other journalists over terminology used by Ukrainians themselves to describe Russian attacks on civilians.

I’m not naming those journalists, but I think the pattern deserves scrutiny.

You claim to champion independent journalism, yet when another journalist makes a correctable mistake, your first response is to have their work removed.

What kind of journalistic culture is that?

I emailed your organisation seeking a resolution. I received no response, but you’ve found the time to publicly accuse me of lacking respect for journalism.

I’ve admitted my mistake. You’ve shown absolutely no willingness to question your own conduct.

You had every right to ask for credit. You chose to escalate instead.

This could have been fixed with one email. The fact that you still seem unable to recognise that is a far more damning reflection on your editorial judgment than anything you’ve accused me of.

Retract the complaint. Remove the strike. And treat independent journalists with the same respect you demand for your own.

@CaolanReports @KyivIndependent Dispicable behaviour on the Free press. I thought you want to be free from tyrants and Russian aggression. @olya_rudenko - has Trump or the other war criminal paid you. Your people, your freedom seems to be a simple choice.

@AFP Corruption in US of A is worst than many other countries we think are corrupt. The two in the picture are the main ones.

Nie ma takiego produkowania baterii do rakiet Rosji. Fabryka Energia została trafiona przez dronopad jako uzasadniony cel wojskowy. Wszelkie straty to wina agresora, czyli Kremla.

@antonioguterres Are you calling for the organization you head to impose any consequences upon Israel for these actions that have so "alarmed" you? 🥴

[David Groove @groovester007]

@antonioguterres It been happening for 40 years and the UN have done Nothing about it, why start now as Concerns do not resolve the disease in the Is Rael government. A UN shield would have worked if the UN had been brave enough many years ago. Sadly all in power turn a blind eye. @UNHumanRights

@WhiteHouse Usual bribery and corruption playbook from the Ru ssian state

@VP Are you including yourself and the president and his family on this rooting out of fraud.

[David Groove @groovester007]

@StateDept What about the truth

[David Groove @groovester007]

@Mike_Pence At last an American speaking the truth, well done sir. Now remove that traitor know as your president from power. He will start and already inflamed WW3

[David Groove @groovester007]

@SecRubio What BS, I hope you feel good about yourself continuing to lie and deception as prompted by your convicted Felon of a president.

BREAKING: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have issued a joint declaration accusing Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories of being the FUNDAMENTAL SOURCE of instability across the Middle East, demanding an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

@SpeakerJohnson DUDE, THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO

How desperate are you?
