Sorry but I feel that the NY Times is more trustworthy than someone's livejournal blog.

We live in the era of information war. There are no "trustworthy" sources left. You simply choose what to believe in.

The whole story is very dark. Too many lies and fake information coming from all sides of the conflict.

There are still trustworthy, reputable, verifiable sources and to suggest that there aren't is just playing your own part in the information war you're rallying against.

The whole story is very dark. The are many lies and pieces of fake information coming from many sides. Not too many lies to come to definite conclusion and not ALL sides are supplying bunk news.

Funny thing is that ALL sides have their trustworthy, reputable and verifiable sources. But when compared with each other, these sources provide opposite information. The only thing we can do is either:
a) Ignore it all;
or
b) Spend lots of time analysing all possible sources. Becoming competent in such fields as geopolitics (Ukraine vs Russia, Russia vs USA, etc etc), history (USSR, independent Ukraine, European Union, etc), economy, aviation (Boeing 777 fuselage structure), warfare (knowing how the Air defense missile system operates). Having an exact, non-cinematic picture of what is happening in your head. Making it your main activity.

Absolute majority of us just believe or disbelieve what they read. We are very easily fooled.

The whole story is very dark. The are many lies and pieces of fake information coming from many sides. Not too many lies to come to definite conclusion and not ALL sides are supplying bunk news.

As I said, you really have to be exceptionally competent in many things to be sure that even the most reliable source is giving you a full undistorted picture of what's going on.
