They don’t summarize it, they cherrypick it and twist the shit out of it to the point of sometimes giving an impression that is sometimes the diametrically opposite of what he was actually saying. The most famous example of this was when they twisted the shit out of when Putin said the collapse of the USSR was a great catastrophe, completely omitting what he said afterwards and making it look like he wanted to recreate the USSR (which would be based actually but unfortunately that’s not what he meant) when in reality he was only saying it because it left large numbers of Russian diaspora in former Soviet republics.
I don’t know what the hell happened but all of a sudden in his mobilization speech western media started that Putin will nuke the world or ukraine. I regularly watch Putin’s speech (heck it was just 15 -20mins) but the grand scale they twisted the whole context where he threatened Liz Truss’s speech turned into a whole new game of Putin gonna nuke anyday now to the point Elon Musk got worried 🤣.
I don’t think Western media ever really reports what Putin says - they just summarize it.

That’s fair! I wasn’t trying to say they summarize it accurately - just that they avoid really quoting his actual words.
Western headlines: “Putin promises ‘NO SURVIVORS’ in his war on Ukraine”
lol it was not even his main speech. just a Q/A
Yeah, he did 1 hr of speech and 2 hrs of Q/A
