"The Serbs are not the victims of some sort of 1984 scenario"

Yes, they are. They are the ONLY ones in the war who've had their people killed by Muslims and Croats DELIBERATELY shown in the news and presented as Muslims killed by then.

This is one example, witnessed by Stella Jatras.

"I almost fell into the trap of believing the media when I saw the horrific images of the Muslim babies on a bus that had been killed by Serb snipers. I would never have known the difference had I not been watching France 2 TV where they showd the funeral of these babies and officiating at the funeral was a Serbian Orthodox priest. However, for American consumption, on CNN, the priest was cropped from the video so that Americans would continue to believe that those were Muslim babies killed by Serbs. I don't like being lied to."

"Muslims killed by then."

Should be "Muslims killed by them."

I remember how NYT edited the map by removing an island to put spin on one controversial event.
