Serb Protesters Attack U.S. Embassy

with one comment

This article on riots in Kosovo was very informative, but something gave me pause.  For one, CNN seems to be getting all their information second hand from the Associated Press.  And when I was reading the middle section I had a hard time concentrating on the story because nearly every paragraph ended with AP.  I mean it is a good thing that the AP is so well trusted, but CNN is big enough where I feel there should have been more from their own reporters and less from the AP.

Despite this, it would appear that they did a good job representing all sides of this inncident.  Which I can only imagine would be a hard one to report on, especially if you are from the country whose embassy was attacked. 

One good thing about posting a story like this on the internet as opposed to having it in a printed paper is that this story contains links to other related stories that allow the reader to better understand this very complicated international issue.  The video and photos avaiable on a webpage also helps the reader understand the situation in which all of this took place.  In a printed paper, there is usually only room for one photo, maybe teo or three.

  1. AP is not to be trusted. They are controlled by the Globalists and print propaganda that fits their news narrative. The supposed “liberation” of Kosovo is only a thinly-veiled attempt to exert U.S./E.U. hegemony over the region for the purpose of installing a U.S. military base and accessing the Kaspian oil reserves. Don’t believe the hype holmes. Seek out independent media outlets who do not serve corporate masters who channel and censor World history in the making.
