That is a nice understatement. Seriously, one was unconscious and had bruises over his face, another still had a plastic bag wrapped around his neck, another had an eye beat shut... These guys were tortured enough for me to highly doubt they were even the real perpetrators, this is Russia after all.
I don't know why the media minces words like that. The men were tortured, clearly and unambiguously. There's overwhelming evidence of it, and not even a serious attempt by Russia to hide that it happened. Everything those men say is what the ~~KGB~~ FSB told them to say.
Because real media is held liable for the things they say. They can't say something is for sure true if it is 99.999% likely but still technically in the speculation stage. They can't say someone is guilty of a crime until they literally are, they can't even imply it. It's part of the journalistic integrity rules.
This.
Having fox "news" and oan and other bullshit shows, I think it's extremely important that we focus on having reliable and responsible Journalism.
