      He is ABSOLUTELY not based. Look into the garbage he says about Ukraine and Russia.

        From the first article I found on the matter:

        The musician was invited by Russia to address the UN Security Council.

        He called for a ceasefire and condemned Russia’s “illegal” invasion, but also denounced “provocateurs” in the West who he claimed were responsible.

        Ukrainian ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya called Waters’ speech “another brick in the wall” of Russian disinformation.

        Yeah, either he got played or got paid, I think. But well, the people in media are not somehow godlike and not guaranteed to be correct always. If anything, that would be a cognitive bias to think so

            Yeah, but trying to play off Putin as some kind of inevitable result of western media is horse shit. He’s been anti-any-establishment for so long he’s lost perspective.
