Kiev Prime Minister - Launches Media War on Russia

Post by Reality Check »

In a lengthy, very supportive, soft ball "news" interview, the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, attacks Russia as the cause of all Ukraine's problems, and warns the entire world that Russian military forces are coming for them next.

The interviewer, David Gregory of NBC News' Meet the Press, starts the interview as characterizing the Geneva agreement as applying only to eastern Ukraine.

Regardless of what question is ask, the Prime Ministers response is always an attack on Russia. Sometimes the answer is tangentially related to the question, sometimes not, but in all cases the NBC interviewer, Gregory, allows the Prime Minister to run with his prepared talking points without interruption, and without challenging statements of fact that disagree with many objective news reports.

The interviewer, David Gregory, provides a soft ball question regarding anti-semitism in Ukraine, and then allows the Prime Minister to report as fact that Russia is behind anti-semitism in Ukraine.

This was an opportunity for the Prime Minister to spend 15 minutes presenting the Kiev government's media talking points, uninterupted, on western Media. It is interesting to hear what the Kiev Government's media talking points are on Easter Sunday, April 20th, 2014; and also to observer just how good, or not so good, the Prime Minister is at being a spokesman for the Kiev government during western media interviews.
