Western Media and the Ukraine Poison Story

Most westerners are ignorant about Ukrainian society and history, making it difficult for them to evaluate the bitter political struggle in that country.

On Ukrainian websites, the Yushchenko side (identified in the media as "pro-Western") portrays their candidate as a democratic outsider and accuses opponent Viktor Yanukovych of being an anti-democratic, corrupt bureaucrat, and a tool of Russia.

The Yanukovych side (identified in the media as "pro-Russian") portrays Yanukovych as ethnically tolerant and the working man's candidate. They accuse opponent Viktor Yushchenko of being a corrupt banker, and a tool of the US and Germany. They say Yushchenko appeals to anti-Russian, antisemitic bigotry, especially among the political descendents of those who fought for the Nazis in World War II.
