CCTV FOLLIES 2.25 China pushes pro-Russian peace

The world gushes with praise for China's peace proposal, especially Russia and Belarus, but there are a few others
-Russia firing weapons=seeking peace
-NATO supplying weapons=seeking war
-Ohio rots
-Earthy Xi shines bright

China chastises the US for supplying Ukraine, but day after day leads with fiery shots of Russian ammo in action.

Russia keeps pounding away, for peace.

Why does Ukraine even think about going up against big guns like this when they can just surrender?

Russia warmly welcomes China's peace proposal!

(they probably helped write it)

China's generous peace initiative is not properly appreciated by Zelensky. Hmm. Why not?

A rare CCTV shot of Kiev

Ukraine resists...
CCTV likes to recycle less-than-impressive shots of Ukraine troops fighting back, most often depicted hiding and terribly outgunned.

Thoughtful Russians and Germans agree.
NATO brings nothing but terror.

Germans want "freedom, heating, bread
instead of guns, wars and death"

"US and NATO are hidden hand behind so many wars..."

Russia: Ha ha! Western sanctions don't hurt us at all

CCTV: The sanctions are so unfair! High prices!
No heat! Cancelled flights! Europeans aren't buying Chinese goods!!!

"Biden screwed up" says Seymour Hersh, leaning back, all smug and giddy in that massive soft Stratolounger recliner of his

"What Hersh says is logical, the US government's said as much before."

Zimbabwe and Zambia weigh in:
(coincidentally echoing CCTV talking points)
-US, which covets EU's energy market, is hiding behind silence on Nord Stream
-The Russia-Ukraine conflict drags on because US and NATO keep supplying Ukraine with weapons

Compare and contrast how CCTV depicts Russia and the US

The toxic train wreck in Ohio has been daily fare for domestic viewers in China for almost a month...because China cares!

CCTV's ode to Xi naturally opened the news, but it's of such dubious news value I saved it for last.

fasten your seatbelt!

The horse was apparently unaware, or unimpressed, that it was in the presence of the man

What joy a brush with greatness can instill!

The news doesn't end here, but I'm gonna end it here because I think CCTV is losing it's mind.
Zai Jian!
