If you want something to do, just grab a microphone and start interviewing anyone you meet in the streets and ask him/her a simple question: “Have you ever heard of the bombing of the USS Liberty?” The answer may surprise you.
Putin is still stretching his political muscle. He has recently declared that there is an information war going on.
He said that for the past two years or so, the “Anglo-Saxon media” has done its best to demonize him.
In 2014, the Telegraph had an article entitled, “Europe should punish Vladimir Putin, not the City of London.”[1]
In the same article, we were told ad nauseam that Putin’s action is a stench to much of Europe.
Russia has finally got a chance to respond.
Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said:
“They say that Russia has a bad public image. Do you know who else now has a bad image – the United States. We are currently in a state of information warfare with the trend-setters in the information space, most notably with the Anglo-Saxons, their media.”[2]
Peskov is far more logical than his enemies and detractors here. He moves on to say:
“Look at the pressure on our media in some European countries. I’m not talking about the states that recently joined the EU, like the Baltic States with their strong anti-Russian sentiment. It’s a different story, time heals all the wounds.
“Now, take the Brits. They put a lot of pressure on RT for [the channel’s] editorial policy – that actually amounts to nothing but indirect censorship. We constantly come under fire for alleged censorship in our country, but when we come under pressure in other countries, one simply turns a blind eye to it.”[3]
