The famous American journalist and writer Robert Perry subjected charges one of the leading American Newspapers, the new York times in the distortion of information about the situation in Ukraine, calling the magazine mouthpiece imposing, which does not inspire confidence. As said Perry, most clearly the position of the new York times revealed in surveys of events, on 2 may in Odessa. Despite the tragedy in Odessa killed more than 40 people and has become the bloodiest after a firefight in Kiev 18-21 February, reporters of the newspaper were devoted to this event very little attention, concentrating on How the Ukrainian army attacked positions of supporters of federalization in the Donetsk region, reports RIA " Novosti ". As underlined by Perry, even the printed edition of The Washington post, well-known neo-conservative opinions of their editors, honestly wrote that the Odessa House of trade unions, lit up once the crowd of supporters of Euromayday pelted him with Molotov cocktails. But the new York times, for its part, did not want to mention this in my article: it cannot even understand who burned down in the room and who put supporters of federalization inside behind the barricades. According to the journalist, the new York times systematically inflates topics that put the Russian-speaking population of the East of the country As the " bad guys ", and the Kiev government that came to power as a result of the coup d'etat, - As " good ". In his article, Perry asks authors and readers of the new York times, and in the truth whether they want such prejudices put an end to the glory of the newspaper As one of the most conscientious in the United States." Kiev mode, with the approval of the Times, can succeed in the elimination of many ethnic Russians in the insurgency-plagued East, But will this new victory Waterloo for journalistic honor edition?", asked Perry. For reviews publicist, in normal times, he would have considered such fraud banal unwillingness of the authors of the newspaper to check your sources. However, in the current conditions, says Perry, Times explicitly takes the side of the Kiev authorities and inflates any fact (or even misinformation), which would put the protesters in the East of Ukraine in a bad light.
