There can only be two conclusions. Either the reporters and editors working on the Ukraine issue are grossly incompetent, and ignore the facts, or they essentially agree with the neo-con policy being pushed by the U.S., aimed at pulling Ukraine out of Russia's orbit, neutralizing Russia, and eventually forcing regime change in that nation.

If the latter is the case, then we have so-called journalists engaging in deliberate propaganda on behalf of the U.S. government.

Whatever the reason for what's going on, the result has been the Ukraine reporting in the Times has been awful. It has been, as Parry calls it, "journalistic malfeasance."

This is particularly irresponsible when one considers the stakes involved in the Ukraine crisis. Should the present civil war not be settled peacefully and fighting continue (a cease-fire is now in place) nuclear-armed Russia and nuclear-armed America could be headed for catastrophe.

The American people need to know exactly what is going on. The nation's "paper of record" needs to do a much, much better job and start reporting honestly on Ukraine.
