The Mainstream Media Are Starting To Get It

Over in The Independent, Mary Dejevsky writes:

"Thank goodness, they might be thinking at the US State Department and the British Foreign Office, for the financial crisis. Were it not for the ever-blacker news about the Western world's economy, another scandal would be vying for the headlines – and one where the blame would be easier to apportion. It concerns our two countries' relations with Russia and the truth about this summer's Georgia-Russia war.

It's now clear that Georgia started the war in South Ossetia. Why did US and British accounts give the impression that Russia was the guilty party, and Georgia a brave little democracy that big bad Russia wanted to snuff out?
"

Where do you want us to begin, Mary?

  1. Possibly to cover up the fact that this country last year sold ten times the quantity of arms to Russia as we did to Georgia?

  2. Jolly good.

    If we must sell arms at all, of course. We shouldn't.
