The head of the National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) has been beaten by members of the nationalist Svoboda party and forced to write a letter of resignation over allegations that his channel aired anti-Ukrainian content.

The office of the acting CEO of the National Television Company of Ukraine, Aleksandr Panteleymonov, was stormed by people who claimed to be members of the freedom of speech and information committee. What began as a loud conversation quickly turned into a fight.

A video of the incident has been posted online.

The Svoboda party was first called the “Social-National Party of Ukraine”, and remains a National Socialist (i.e., Nazi) party.

The video speaks for itself.

If RT reports the weather, the anti-Russians on here will call it propaganda.

Calling agitprop a bunch of BS is not nearly enough for me.

I have been wanting them nuked for over 55 years...

It appears to me that some folks have lost their minds supporting Putin for any reason.

RT is a respected station.

According to whom? Someone at peoplesword.org?

Only if some neo-Bolshevik comes here to tell us that RT reported that Putin made the sun shine.

Oh probably by those of us who are not stuck in an outdated cold war armchair. And CNN international and much of Europe.

There’s a bright side to that, too—even the KGB/FSB knows how much time I’ve spent in Europe, so you don’t have access to that information. As for the latest in Russian newspeak, I get it from you here.

So because it’s reported on RT it didn’t happen?

Exactly correct. Its like global warming. If the evidence shows the Ukrainian coup leaders as sons of Madison and Jefferson, its cool. If it shows them acting like the Nazis, it proves the other side is faking evidence against them.

There is utterly no option where the coup is basically national socialist and wears emblems of the Third Reich.

Its precisely the same game as no matter what the weather, it “proves” climate change/global warming is real. Snow, rain, hot day, drought, wind, still day, etc.

Maidan Nazis can throw paving stones, firebombs, take hostages, storm government offices, wear Nazi emblems, carry photographs of popular Nazi collaborators, be supported by Obama, Hillary, Kerry, the EU oligarchy, Soros, the MSM, and McCain, and that can only prove how dedicated they are to freedom.

Quite literally, there is nothing about them that can make their supporters pause and wonder why The EU, Obama and McCain are suddenly for freedom. Get it?

“Has the kenyan actually given Putin the go-ahead on Crimea? His faint protests might indicate that they are formulaic only. Was his promise of more flexibility ‘after the election’ more explicit in detail than we have thought?”

I’m wondering also, though admittedly I know very little about Russia. But those words Obama said to Putin seemed to be promising something...and also implied Obama already knew he would “win” re-election.

We have Russian propaganda vs. US MSM propaganda and between the two liars they are painting the impression that there are only two kinds of Ukrainians. Direct descendants of Adolf Hitler and direct descendants of Vladimir Lenin. Both liars would let you believe that any Ukrainian who doesn't fit one of those descriptions is just a cartoon not a real person. Pay no attention to non-media-stereotyped Ukrainians.

Absolutely right

The Russians make up their own propaganda to justify the invasion of other countries and follow the old dictator playbook for the invasion of the same.

That's true. Like we did in Serbia and Libya.

I am sure that is somewhat true but I have seen some interviews of “Ordinary Joe” Ukrainians on the internet. If the MSM wanted to get their stories they could. The Russian media is state controlled, the U.S. media is just useless and corrupt.
