Showing Original Post only (View all)Robert Parry: Sidestepping Ukraine’s ‘N-Word’ for Nazi [View all]
http://consortiumnews.com/2014/09/06/sidestepping-ukraines-n-word-for-nazi/Exclusive: The mainstream U.S. media is hazing German Chancellor Merkel and President Obama for sidestepping the I-word invasion in reference to Russia and Ukraine. But the MSM goes mute on Ukraines N-word for Nazi so as not to disrupt the pro-Kiev group think, says Robert Parry.
By Robert Parry
The New York Times, in its ceaseless anti-Russian bias over the Ukraine crisis, now wants everyone to use the I-word for invasion when describing Russias interference in Ukraine despite the flimsy supporting evidence for the charge presented by Kiev and NATO.
The evidence, including commercial satellite photos lacking coordinates, was so unpersuasive that former U.S. intelligence analysts compared the case to the Iraq-WMD deception of last decade. Yet, while ignoring concerns about the quality of the proof, the Times ran a front-page story on Friday mocking Western political leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Barack Obama, for not uttering the I-word.
The Times article by Andrew Higgins essentially baited Merkel and Obama to adopt the most hyperbolic phrasing on the crisis or risk being denounced as weak. The Times couched its criticism of their circumspect language or what it called terminological fudges as a victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But the Times and other U.S. mainstream news outlets have engaged in their own terminological fudges regarding Ukraines N-word for Nazi by hiding or burying the fact that the Kiev regime has knowingly deployed neo-Nazi militias to wage bloody street fighting against ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine.

Even when Parry's not completely wrong, he still comes off as the huge hypocrite that he is.
