CrossTalk/Peter Lavelle Fans..."Broken Ukraine & Is Western Media Exaggerating Over Ukraine?

(Might be a good Weekend Watch for those who want to hear the "Other Side," Our Side and Other Interests. Love that he deals with American, EU and RUSSIAN INTEREST Viewpoints and always switches his Panel for Other Views...unlike US MSM)

CrossTalk: Broken Ukraine

Published on Apr 10, 2014

With ultimatums being issued, separatism in the air and complete economic breakdown eminent. Is Ukraine on the verge of becoming a failed state? Is anyone interested in fixing the situation? And who's going to pay the price? CrossTalking with Scott Rickard, Neil Clark and Jeanne Zaino.

Is the Media Exaggerating Facts of What's Going on in Ukraine?

Published on Apr 10, 2014
The confrontation over Ukraine has been unfolding not only on the ground, but in the media as well. And what appears to be an exaggeration of basic facts has led to some dubious reporting.

THANKFULLY...due to "who knows" HOW we get this Info! But..someone is working to get Differing Info Out There and for that I am able these days to have Diversified Media that I can choose from...but that's because I SEEK...and so MANY Americans don't have TIME to DEAL with this . And, it's not THEIR FAULT...but our culture/business model and lack of Free Press here in America. Something we Americans NEVER thought we would ever see.

That's why I try to post "Other Media Resources." Because of my......

edit: audio link http://www.thenation.com/blog/179187/diplomatic-resolution-crisis-over-ukraine-still-possible

Longtime Nation contributor Stephen Cohen joins Pacifica Radio’s Beneath The Surface with Suzi Weissman to discuss Russia’s “diplomatic overture,” which Western diplomats and media have largely disregarded. “I think the Russians are right about this,” says Cohen. “You need to have a constitution and a state that reflects the reality of the two Ukraines.”

edit: Don't ask...the duplicate....opps! Now if I can just remember how I did this and not do it again!

In that his panel does always get into the underlying undercurrents of Political Thought...that we don't see here in the USA.

I gave up on Corporate Sponsored Media awhile back...and just wanted DISCUSSION whether i agreed or disagreed...I love the back and forth that's missing in USA Media these days.

WHY can't we HAVE THE FACTS...to Make up our OWN MINDS? It's the Corporate Interests that Rule here in USA... And, Yes folks would say PUTIN DOMINATES "RT America"...but I have a feeling it goes further than that..that they are allowed to Boadcast at All!

Not all of America and our Intelligence is Evil...and those who want to Whistle Blow...are doing our Democracy a Favor with RT...despite the Naysayers.
