Media. Article analysis

This page contains an analysis of some articles
from a huge media space.
The critique uses methodological "theories"
described elsewhere on this site.

Example N 1.
This is a nice picture Below is an excerpt from an article by the writer, publicist, chess grandmaster B. Gulko.
You can read the full article here.
The text, in our opinion, mixes facts, false information, subjective interpretations of events, personal opinion of the author and real data, reasoning in violation of the laws of logic
Briefly about sophistry and logic: see here.

But in the 1992 US presidential election, lop-eared billionaire Ross Perot, having put forward his candidacy, he scored 19% of the vote, pulled them away from Bush and led the charming villain Bill Clinton to the winner.
He, trying to hush up personal problems with the law, bombed Serbia from March to June 1999. 1,000 NATO aircraft made 38,000 sorties, killing about 2,000 people and wounding about 5,000, caused severe environmental disasters.
America has returned evil to the world.
This was emphasized by the largest terrorist attack in history - the attack of Muslims on 9/11 in 2001 on hijacked planes with passengers on board against the buildings of the WTC and the Pentagon - about 3,000 killed.
And evil settled in the United States.
It was prepared by the education system of the country, which brought up the younger generations in line with non-traditional morality, but the ideas of neo-Marxism.
From 2008 to 2016, Barack Obama, an agent of evil, already presided over the United States.
It seemed that the population succeeded by electing the traditional American Donald Trump as president in 2016, despite the fierce opposition of the media and the establishment of the country, to bring back healthy Americanism.
But the establishment, thanks to the rigging reflected in the recent film study 2000 Mules, brought the people of the Obama administration back into power.
Now this administration, taking advantage of Russia's unnecessary war with Ukraine, who have not overcome the traumatic consequences of the collapse of the USSR,
exaggerates this carnage to the utmost.
If Israeli Prime Minister Bennett, French President Macron, former US President Trump called on both sides to make peace and stop the extermination of their peoples,
then the United States, through the mouth of the current President Biden, proclaimed that the war in Ukraine is vital for US defense.

1."But in the 1992 US presidential election, lop-eared billionaire Ross Perot After submitting his candidacy, he garnered 19% of the vote, pulling it away from Bush and leading charming villain Bill Clinton to the winners. To cover up personal problems with the law, he bombed Serbia from March to June 1999."
In fact, Perot scored 19%. Most political scientists believe this played into Clinton's hands.
Note, however, that it is not customary in analytical articles to casually hang up artistic and literary labels ("charming villain") and indicate physiological characteristics as a trait of the presidential candidate ("Lop-eared ... Feather").
This is a nice picture Further.
The first mention of the Clinton scam appeared in the press in the fall of 1997. It came down to impeachment proceedings. The removal of Clinton from power could become a reality. However, in the end, the US Senate acquitted Clinton of both charges.
Thus, an end was put to this scandal and Clinton remained president.
It happened February 12, 1999.
The first attacks on Serbia began March 24, 1999.
So almost 6 weeks after the Senate decision

Hence the author's statement:
"The one, trying to hush up personal problems with the law, bombed Serbia from March to June 1999."
has no basis.
To be completely clear.
The above reasoning suggests that we are talking about a scandal,
related to the intimate relationship between the President and his employee Levitsk....?
However, this is just an assumption, since the text only reads "...trying to cover up personal problems with the law."
The general public is aware of precisely this scam of his, but perhaps the author means something else, based on the information he has.
Nevertheless, nothing is reported to readers about this, that is, there remains a clear ambiguity and reticence.
Okay, but the author is certainly right - bombs, missiles, war is bad.
It is not at all clear from the text why
Clinton "trying to hush up personal problems" bombed precisely Serbia.
What did she like about him?
Why not Cuba, Albania or Egypt, for example.
There is no information in the text on this quite natural question, so the reader can more or less logically assume that that the choice fell randomly or almost randomly.
In other words, there were simply no significant reasons other than "settlement" of private problems.
In fact, there was a war in Serbia - Kosovo wanted to get autonomy,
Serbia refused, rebel "activities" began, Serbia responded with full-scale military actions that escalated into genocide.
SUMMARY
This author's statement is erroneous.
OR, if the author is confident in his justice, he should, in accordance with the Ockham principle, lead completely convincing evidence of this.
2. America has brought evil back into the world.
Pretty strong statement. Well, okay.
Then, according to the rules of logic, the statement is also true:
"Before that, for some period of time, there was no evil in the world."
Apparently, almost everyone will agree that this is a false statement.
Then, again in strict accordance with the laws of logic ( see here) ,
the first statement is false.
In other words, this means that the author's statement:
"America brought evil back to the world" is wrong
3."And evil settled in the USA.
It was prepared by the education system of the country,
bringing up the younger generations in line with non-traditional morality, but the ideas of neo-Marxism"

There are two terms used here that need to be defined.
The author does not do this, but it is clear to the reader from the text that traditional morality is good, but neo-Marxist ideas are bad.
The reader in theory understands that the values ​​of traditional morality are such concepts as honesty, justice, mutual assistance, personal responsibility, empathy, etc.
Neo-Marxism apparently, according to the logic of the author, rejects these qualities, and moreover, in American educational institutions that followed neo-Marxism for some reason unknown to the author, do not instill these qualities. And they instill the ideas of neo-Marxism.
What are the values ​​of neo-Marxism, the article does not say.
No evidence is given for this not-quite-usual theory.
This is a nice picture 4."Now this administration, taking advantage of Russia's unnecessary war with Ukraine, who have not overcome the traumatic consequences of the collapse of the USSR, is inflating this bloody massacre to the maximum. If Israeli Prime Minister Bennett, French President Macron, former US President Trump called on both sides to reconcile and stop the extermination of their peoples, then the United States, through the mouth of the current President Biden, proclaimed that the war in Ukraine is vital for the defense of the United States"
4.1 On February 24, 2022, the Russian armed forces in the amount of 100-120 thousand people invaded Ukraine.
Theoretical training has been intensively conducted over the past few years.
In particular, Putin in his article directly wrote, that Ukraine is not a real state, cannot solve urgent problems, in addition, fascists and Nazis are in power.
This is the reality.
From the point of view of the author, everything looks different.
He believes that
1. War is not needed
2. The reason is that Russia and Ukraine (both countries equally) did not overcome the traumatic consequences of the collapse of the USSR.
It follows logically that Russia and Ukraine are equally responsible for the war.
Everything is simple. They didn’t overcome it, stupid Ukraine and Russia, well, fight for your health.
It is impossible to agree with such a position.
This is contrary to facts, logic and conventional morality.
4.2"Now this administration .....is blowing this carnage to the limit....."
1. Macron, Bennett, and also all the leaders of almost all European countries have called for a cessation of hostilities many times and conducting negotiations. Macron, Scholz repeatedly held hour-long talks with Putin. To no avail.
2. A number of countries, such as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic ... "cursed" them,
because they believe that Putin understands only force,
and uses negotiations to gain tactical benefits.
3. Most importantly, the EU, England, Canada supply arms and ammunition just like the USA.
4. Author's statement "America is fanning a carnage" is incorrect.
In addition, it is cynicism, support for Putin's dictatorial regime and an insult to the Ukrainian people.
