This piece is way out of date. Russia actually invaded Ukraine with no provocation at all, and continues to wreak havoc there. How is that the fault of the “warmongering” Western media?? I am amazed that people continue to blame the West for Russian aggression against their neighbors.

I agree entirely with your grim assessment of the mainstream media’s pandering to the Bush regime’s unprovoked invasion of Iraq. But in this case, Russia, not the US, is the aggressor—remember??
