    Not quite so.
    1) Western media just took what the local ones were feeding them and then spread it around. The blame here is mostly on the local ones.
    2) The graves were REAL and bodies in them were REAL. If those were Russian media they most likely would invent graves and bodies (as they did with the story of a crucified boy http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...slovyansk.html and many others http://english.gordonua.com/news/exc...nda-60117.html).

    In fact, following your advice, I went to watch RT, then I stopped. They are actually the same than Western Media....
    1) The girl was on trial IN KUWAIT. Western media just spread around what they were told by the locals.
    2) In the West there are media and media, like I said. In Russia there is no such diversity of opinion among the state ones, the others are insignificant in their audience and thus influence.

    "The girl was on trial IN KUWAIT." No. She gave the testimony in US in front of US media. The story was completely invented by the media to prepare the opinion to go to war...
    The Maginot line in Iraq wasn't real. The Weapons of Mass Destruction were not real... The Horse Shoes operation in Kosovo wasn't real. The mass graves in the mines were not real (Kosovo again). Sarajevo wasn't totally surrounded by the Bosnian Serbs. And I can carry on. Disinformation and deception are now (if it wasn't always) the major tools of Media all at the order of the powers...

    I have no knowledge of the details of all these canards, so can't judge how guilty were the western media. And I doubt greatly they are ordered by the authorities what to write. Unlike the Russian ones.

    And off topic - how "civil" was/is the war in Donbas: a commemorative plaque put up in Russia to honor Russian soldiers killed in Donetsk airport after the Ukrainian spetznaz evicted those who had captured it. Pay attention to the date - the very beginning of the armed conflict and the first shootout in Donetsk.

    So this is who started it all, not the mythic rioting populaces comprising miners and tractor drivers.

    That's because the people who own the western media, tell both the media AND the government what to do.
    So just like in Russia.

    Don't know if it's true and the article is behind a paywall, but according to the UN the Ukrainian government is torturing people on a pretty massive scale in special fascilities. That makes the association treaty with the EU all the more laughable if true.
