Yep. That’s what I’ve been trying to express to people lately. Great post, it really sums it all up. In 2014 it was widely understood that Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world. I’m definitely bookmarking this post.

I think this is more a reflection on how media hyperbole is used to generate sales and clicks. All of those articles can be true to an extent in their own right, because real life is complex. But the media just cares for what would generate the most attention, not what would actually give an accurate and balanced assessment of the situation.
