I though of that, not to post from Russian Insider because of the source but like many readers at FR, items are not read in full or is skipped over important information that changes the entire perspective of the article. I won't deny that I have been guilty of the same thing.

At the top of the page it clearly states
Originally appeared at German Economic News. Translated by Susan Neumann.

But people just glance through the posted articles, not seeing the forest from the trees and end up making erroneous statements about the need to trust Russian media.

I didn’t mean it as a criticism. I am not like some and see a Russian source as automatically invalid and dishonest, certainly no more than our own media. I was just trying to process the info and consider my source.

I am saying that the whole middle east thing is difficult for me because 1) it is complicated and 2) so many factions, and 3) it is further complicated by different sources claiming different “facts.”

What I know for sure is that I do not trust Obama.

And yes, the original German source noted. Thank you.
