Commentator and journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon said this week that major media outlets are now acknowledging realities about Ukraine and U.S. immigration that Americans were previously told did not exist, pointing to recent reporting by The New York Times as evidence of a broader shift.
Ungar-Sargon argued that criticisms of corruption in Ukraine and warnings about the scale of the immigration crisis were for years dismissed as extremist or foreign propaganda, only to later be confirmed by mainstream reporting once the political costs of denial grew too high.
“It can now be said that was the theme of the week,” Ungar-Sargon said.
