Paul Craig Roberts Nails It

Abby Martin, Glenn Greenwald and Andrew Napolitano misinformed about Russian "invasion" of Ukraine.
Hawaii Political Info introduction: Abby Martin of Russia Today and Glenn Greenwald are under the false impression that Russia has militarily invaded Ukraine with 16,000 Russian troops. So is Andrew Napolitano.
The mainstream media has been saying that Russia has invaded Ukraine, but one would think these three would know from sad experience not to trust what the media says, particularly about wars and rebellions that the U.S. supports.
It doesn't look as if the three have been following events in Ukraine as closely as they should if they're going to be publicly commenting on them. The situation is complicated enough that it does take quite a bit of research to sort things out for oneself.
Paul Craig Roberts, who says he admires Glenn Greenwald and Abby Martin, gently sets the record straight.
Propaganda Rules The News

Gerald Celente calls the Western media “presstitutes,” an ingenuous term that I often use. Presstitutes sell themselves to Washington for access and government sources and to keep their jobs. Ever since the corrupt Clinton regime permitted the concentration of the US media, there has been no journalistic independence in the United States except for some Internet sites.
Glenn Greenwald points out the independence that RT, a Russian media organization, permits Abby Martin who denounced Russia’s alleged invasion of Ukraine, compared to the fates of Phil Donahue (MSNBC) and Peter Arnett (NBC), both of whom were fired for expressing opposition to the Bush regime’s illegal attack on Iraq. The fact that Donahue had NBC’s highest rated program did not give him journalistic independence. Anyone who speaks the truth in the American print or TV media or on NPR is immediately fired.
Russia’s RT seems actually to believe and observe the values that Americans profess but do not honor.
