Keep listening to TANJUG and watching RTV Beograd. They've done such a good job indoctrinating you.

I don't know how much complaints against RTV and TANJUG are justified in comparison to many other state broadcasters. Just look at what the RFE-RFL excerpt above, or just watch CNN.

But that said, I can't recall ever hearing anything on Serbian television or radio that could compare to the frenzied, salivating broadcast of absolutely racist hate propaganda punctuated by references to ethnic Serbs in Slavonija as "Communist-Chetnik-occupation collaborators" and so forth. Every three seconds in Zagreb one would turn on the TV and hear the Yugoslav Army referred to as "Chetnik-Communist-Occupation" forces, or better yet "Serbian-Chetnik-Communist-evildoer-occupation" forces. All this while the overwhelming majority of Croats still had one or all of the following in their homes: a Yugoslav passport, Yugoslav Army documents, Yugoslav Army weapons, or a Communist Party membership.

It got so bad most people could barely care to turn on TV Zagreb or read anything remotely linked to the state press agency, Hina.
