JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: CORPORATE JOURNALISM'S WAR WITH TRUTH - AND WHERE RUSSIA IS CONCERNED IT SEEMS THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY TOM BATCHELOR IN THE INDEPENDENT


“Russia launches ‘unprecedented’ Crimea army drills to test rapid reaction forces”

‘unprecedented’?

The writer does realize, doesn't he, that NATO has warships prowling around in the Black Sea, a place in which they really have no honest business?

And that Ukraine has conducted, over recent months, a series of extremely provocative acts along the border with Crimea?

Well, if he isn't aware, why is he writing a story about a subject of which he is ignorant?

More absolutely hopeless corporate press propaganda.

It's just endless. The Guardian - one of the world's most prejudiced and dishonest newspapers - today features two stories on Russian criminal money entering the UK.

What would that have to do with the government of Russia?

And as though American and Italian Mafia money doesn't constantly pour into Britain.
