That it is an old story is part of my point. Sorry, should have commented.

Oh, wait...1999...did you have a point?

Western forces have in the past directly targeted journalists in order to silence them. 15 years and the people behind this attack are still on the loose.

They bombed an Al Jazeera station in Iraq as well.

Two decades after its reporting helped fuel the worst bloodshed in Europe since the second world war, Serbia's state-run television has apologised to viewers throughout the former Yugoslavia for serving as the key propaganda tool of Slobodan Milosevic in the 1990s.

Radio Television of Serbia - or RTS - said in a statement posted on its website that the station's programmes were "almost constantly and heavily abused" by Milosevic's regime with the aim of discrediting his political and ethnic opponents and spreading the official propaganda.

The broadcaster "apologises to the citizens of Serbia and those of neighbouring countries who were subject to insult, slander and what would now be termed as hate speech", the statement added.

The apology is the first by Serbia's state broadcaster, which was one of the symbols of Milosevic's era and a key pillar of his decade-long rule, marked by wars in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, international isolation and economic decline.

Slobodan Milosevic, Ratko Mladic, Radovan Karadzic and some 45 or so others responsible for the hideous genocide of Muslims and other disgusting war crimes in Croatia, Kosovo and Bosnia all of whom are rotting in The Hague where they belong.

"Journalists"??? RTS was being used by Milosevic agents to spread propaganda, hate and violence much as Radio-Television Libre des Mille Collines (RTLMC) did during the Rwandan genocide of Tutsi's and moderate Hutu's by violent Hutu extremists.

It's been 15 years and you still haven't a single clue of what you're talking about.

That's one of the reasons why the mother fuckers are in The Hague now.

Inciting genocidal slaughter is not free speech anywhere - it's a WAR CRIME just as it was a WAR CRIME in Rwanda.

Go learn what Milosevic and his army of Serb genocidal war criminals did, and quit flinging your bullshit here.

droned the newsreaders at CNN and FOX.

"It's OK when we do it" seems the operating principle at DU.
