Something that is also weird about Western media: All the time they keep reporting from one side of an issue, and then suddenly they throw in a report which is like made by the contrary side.
It's made by their own reporters as well as all the other reports - an eye which followed the previous reports and news may totally be confused, if it paid close attention. What are we now? Are we the good and they are the bad? Or is it that we're making a mistake in engaging in this?
It almost looks like a desperate trial of somebody who tries to deny the obvious.
We are biased, but the public isn't supposed to know; there would be an upheaval if the scandal was out and they would question our "freedom of the press" at all. So we give them a few reports from time to time, doesn't matter if it's in the middle of the night, which differ from what we usually say and so nobody can claim we're on either one's side.
