Nice article to quote, Lampada.

As you know, I am very interested in how media reflects various things.

Unless you are there yourself, or know somebody who is - you have to rely on media.
And it has to be in a language that you can actually read in...

So it means that if all mainstream English speaking media gives incorrect or angled information, that will be what native English speakers will believe. Since they don't have easy access to any other info.

And we see so many example of people who are misinformed.

I think that Russia was a bit naughty and did something that they wanted to do for a long time. Take Crimea back, essentially - although I guess we'll see how it pans out after the referendum. Independency, increased autonomy or revert to Russia.....

And it's understandable that Russia wanted Crimea back, and we know what the majority there think about it.

Plus, this "golden opportunity" / "perfect excuse" for Russia would not have happened if there hadn't been problems with Yanukovich' leadership, and EU/USA hadn't conspired to stir people up and bring about a revolution.
