All the sources you gave are completely opposite of one another....so of course if either side is all one reads you’ll only see it form whatever source you favor or want to believe.

Even the Main Street Media is saying there’s a very real anti-Russian push by most American media.

It’s rare I go to Kiev or Euromaiden.....they are equally as bad as RT etc. At most you’ll know something’s going on but then you have to go find those on the ground to get the actual happening... Besides there are far too many other sources out there who are actually on the ground reporting rather to take news from them.

It’s now known our media’s been using old photos and videos of the military buildup on Russia’s borders....in addition journalist who traveled over 1000 miles up and down the border who said other than the normal bases and movements they could not see what was being reported....But of course Maiden and Kiev have been doing their share of false reporting as well.

Facts are just what they are, regardless of which side one wants to believe...better in this situation in Ukraine to understand this whole thing is not new to Ukraine....and whoever sits at the helm is going to play all sides.....it’s the nature of the Ukrainian beast...you cannot change their violent culture bent overnight.

Nah, you can't say both are equally bad, because what Russian media is doing is miles ahead of Ukraine's. RT (geared towards the west) fake story of 670,000 Ukrainian refugees was bad enough, but for the domestic Russian audiences, there's some heavy duty brainwashing. This example made the rounds recently.

Translated: On the Russian NTV channel, they had a story about confessions of a German citizen, who traveled to Ukraine to support the Pravyi Sector. He donated 500,000 euros to their goal to injure as many pro-Russian supporters as they could.

SAME FREAKING guy, on the Russia 1 channel, was introduced as one of the peaceful protesters who came out to protest the new Ukrainian government, only to be attacked by Pravyi Sector.

Same guy, on NTS Sevastopol channel was a native of Kherson, a surgeon, who came out against the neo-nazis and donated his own money to the anti-maidan cause.
