New to the media landscape, omerta presents itself as an investigative and reporting medium without ideological bias. In his paper version, Arno Klarsfeld assumes that Ukraine is not innocent of the war. A few pages later, another article asserts that the Western media are propagandizing in favor of Ukraine. To promote his media, Charles d’Anjou is interviewed several times on Russian television, reiterating this opinion. Régis Le Sommier, former senior reporter at Paris Match and managing editor ofomertacontinues to assert that the media is neutral.

Clear positions
