How the sides frame it
MODERATE AGREEMENTAll camps report Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses, but left-leaning coverage frames the attacks as a strategic blow to Putin’s regime and Russian commerce, centrist coverage presents the facts with neutral language and notes the widening of the conflict to commercial supply chains, while right-leaning coverage sensationalizes the strikes as attacks on “Russia’s Amazon,” emphasizing disruption to small businesses and mocking Russian cluelessness.
