The West bristles when it thinks of Russian censorship of the press.
Rightfully so. Yet, it fails to see its own censorship.
This reminds me of the way Western media and politicians responded to the
referendum in Crimea, asserting that it was illegal. And yet no one in the
Western world said it was illegal for the Falkland Islands to hold a referendum
that enabled that country to stay on as part of the UK.
Funny how flexible these human rights 'pinciples' are -- putty in the
hands of their interpreters.
Our thanks to Edward Spalton, one of the very able translators for German
Foreign Policy, for this article tip.
I am sending this to the US list as well because the same hypocrisy thrives
here as well in our officialdom.
