Media Thuggery or Media Buggery

Well...obviously...

The American Media:  Vladimir Putin is a thug and a dictator and he wants to revive Soviet Imperialism.

Right?  Obviously...

Or:

We also remember certain episodes from the history of the Soviet Union. Social experiments for export, attempts to push for changes within other countries based on ideological preferences, often led to tragic consequences and to degradation rather than progress.
It seemed, however, far from learning from others’ mistakes, everyone just keeps on repeating them, and so the export of revolutions, this time of so-called democratic ones, continues. It would suffice to look at the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, as has been mentioned by previous speakers. Certainly political and social problems in this region have been piling up for a long time, and people there wish for changes naturally.
But how did it actually turn out? Rather than bringing about reforms, an aggressive foreign interference has resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and the lifestyle itself. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster. Nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life.
I cannot help asking those who have caused the situation, do you realize now what you’ve done? But I am afraid no one is going to answer that. Indeed, policies based on self-conceit and belief in one’s exceptionality and impunity have never been abandoned.

Hmmmm.... Maybe not....

Dog Lover

 Can you declare war on a dog lover?   

Oh, but we need war don't we.  We need enemies.

 That's why we have the New York Times and WaPo.  What would a honest world look like anyway?
