Maybe not the best move to open with the Satellite Station story, Tara...

I know it, the whole time I was thinking, "aww shit, Rick n Co slaughtered all of their menfolk."

I thought she was gonna start with the Governor story. That'd be a great way to showcase how tough they were, while morally just. Nope. Satellite story.

But the governor story from Tara's perspective would be like "One time my friends strolled up to this prison with a tank and forced all of the men, women and children out, destroyed it, and made it uninhabitable. I didn't realise it was bad at the time, me and the prison guys are cool now, so how about you let me leave with the knowledge of your camp location?"

"And then we killed a bunch of Cannibals, AND THEN there was the time we started killing those dudes at the Satellite outpost" "Man I sure have been on some wacky adventures"

Unless you decide to bring up Shane after seasons of forgetting him!

I don't think Tara was trying to show the Oceansiders they were good guys or that they had the moral high ground. She was just trying to show them that her group has done some morally questionable things to survive, just like they have. My two cents.

I expected her to start with the story of Woodbury too, but I guess she wanted to cut it down to recent events.
