Blatant Media Bias


The murder of the Russian liberal politician Boris Nemtsov in Moscow on 27th February 2015 was an international media sensation.
The story of his murder was extensively covered by all mainstream Western media. Few held back from speculations about who was responsible. Though evidence was completely lacking, the Western media had no hesitation pointing the finger at the Russian government.
The murders in Ukraine of the Ukrainian opposition politician Oleh Kalashnikov and of the Ukrainian opposition journalist Oles Buzina have attracted no such attention.

Well thanks for calling that to our attention, Kremlin media.  And yes the coverage in the western media is absolutely biased. (not snark)  Completely unlike that fine example of totally not wall-to-wall anti-Western propaganda set by RT & RIA NovostiSputnik. (blatant snark)  And if I were to search Google News for 'Kalashnikov murder', I bet I wouldn't find any major western media outlets reporting on the stories at all...


...except the BBC, the Guardian, Reuters, CNN, the New York Times, The Telegraph, Newsweek, the Finanical Times, the Daily Mail, Radio Free Europe, the Washington Post, RTÉ, Voice of America, and the Sydney Morning Herald.  Shit, what happened to the International Business Times ?  How'd I leave them out ?
