The Media’s Disinformation Campaign on Ukraine: “There are No neo-Nazis in the Interim Government” | Global Research

Since the overthrow of the Yanukovych government in Ukraine at
the end of February 2014, the mainstream media en masse has attempted to
whitewash the nature of the current Ukrainian government. This has
occurred even in some progressive publications and websites, e.g., a
recent two-part series in Rabble.ca.

As soon as this government took over, the New York Times referred to
it as a new wave of democracy, and this then set the tone for the media
in the West. Although here and there it’s sometimes mentioned that
Svoboda, a member of the coalition government, “once had some
quasi-fascist inclinations,” that’s as far as it goes. All else about
Svoboda and the paramilitary Right Sector has been effectively swept off
into Orwell’s memory hole.

This is not to say that no one on the Internet has commented on the
true nature of Svoboda. To their credit a number of well qualified
observers have had no problem spelling out that Svoboda has a solid
neo-nazi fascist basis, and not just “inclinations” towards these
beliefs. For example, consider the views of Max Blumenthal, Professor Stephen F. Cohen, Professor Francis Boyle,Professor Michel Chossudovsky,Dr. Inna Rogatchi, David Speedie, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Oleg Shynkarenko, Andrew Foxall and Oren Kessler.
