Falsehoods and Media Lies: The New York Times’ Biased Coverage of the War in East Ukraine | Global Research
The New York Times publishes many wildly false articles, and this will expose only one of them, as an example:
According to Christia Freeland, writing there, on September 5th, the conflict in which the Ukrainian Government has since May 9th been bombing the residents in southeastern Ukraine — which is the area that had declared its independence from Ukraine — this “is not a civil war.” Those residents had declared their independence; the Government then bombed them for months; but that’s “not a civil war.” Freeland wrote,
“This is not a civil war, nor is it [referring now to the violent February overthrow of the Ukrainian President, who had been overwhelmingly elected in 2010 by the votes from the residents of this region that’s now being bombed] a fascist coup. Eastern Ukrainians are not rising up against an oppressive regime in Kiev [despite that Government's having condemned the people in the southeast and then bombed them incessantly]. … What makes the Ukrainian conflict consequential is that it is not a civil war. It is an annexation of territory, the invasion of one European country [Ukraine] by another [Russia].”
