Of course they don't ask "why"...why bother when they know that much of the world will never ask 'why' either. Spoon fed babies simply don't have the curious nature needed to question the narratives.

Nikki Grace forwards this from Mark Waack, who wrote: Who attacked the dam?
It took a tabloid to show a bit of fortitude and just a dash of journalistic integrity, with Germany’s Bild newspaper removing the words "Russians Blow Up" from their headline story, re-titling it simply "Huge Dam in Ukraine Destroyed", and immediately sparking outrage from Ukrainian media.
The story features the same old anti-Russian tropes, relying solely on Ukrainian government and military sources and failing to cite a single Russian source. But at least the headline isn't just blatant propaganda anymore.
Using the MSM’s logic, it’s totally rational for Russia to preemptively destroy its own multi-billion dollar infrastructure, force the evacuation of nearby settlements, threaten Crimea’s supply of fresh water (which the peninsula restored last year only after a grueling eight year long water blockade by Kiev) and potentially threaten the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant’s critical cooling systems.
The tone taken in Western reporting, perhaps inevitable given NATO’s proxy war with Russia, is eerily reminiscent of the Western media's takes on two other major sabotage campaigns: the shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, and last year's attack on the Nord Stream pipeline network.
In those cases too, the legacy media party line has been that the Russians are attacking their own infrastructure.
But each time, including after Tuesday’s attack on the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, the key question that the MSM has failed in answering is: why?
