 Posted by Aron on April 11 2008 (Friday) : 10:46 PMI know I seem to be harping on this topic, but it truly annoys me how the US media totally ignores this issue. Another article in the Guardian about alleged KLA war crimes. Right-wing pundits in the US are not altogether wrong in their claims about the "biased liberal media." Of course, the media is far from liberal, its just biased in bizarre ways. The NY Times is really getting worse and worse. Take this quote from "pundit" (do they really pay this guy for writing this crap) Roger Cohen, in an article he wrote extolling the wonders of Kosovo "independence": "But, Serbs protest in their blind pursuit of an untenable moral equivalency, the Kosovo Liberation Army were no kittens. Nor, once the Serbian genocide against Bosnian Muslims of April to September 1992 was completed, was the emergent Bosnian army. That’s right: persecute a people with enough savagery and they will in the end unite, rise up, fight and go their own way." Hmm. Now re-read this paragraph with some simple substitutions: "But, Israelis protest in their blind pursuit of an untenable moral equivalency, the Hamas were no kittens...That’s right: persecute a people with enough savagery and they will in the end unite, rise up, fight and go their own way." Do you think Cohen could have gotten away with writing such an incendiary sentence justifying murder and barbaric war crimes, if he had been writing about Hamas and not the KLA? Somehow the KLA gets a pass even though they are more brutal than Hamas and unlike the latter, currently involved in the horrible crime of human trafficking. < | >
