| Ukraine: Flat Facts, Half-Truths, and Lame Excuses
Steve Weissman, Reader Supported News
Weissman writes: "Paid spin doctors, propagandists, and psychological warriors in Moscow, Washington, and the capitals of Europe have fought to frame the conflict and lay the blame, and they have the support of their go-along media, whether state-owned like Voice of Russian and RT or in private hands like The New York Times.
