Jacob Hornberger: UKRAINE AND THE DEFERENTIAL PRESS

an excerpt:
“Prior to the recent regime-change operation in Ukraine, the U.S. government had sent some $5 billion of U.S. taxpayer money into the country. No, not into the coffers of the government but rather into the hands of private groups. The U.S government claims that the purpose of the money was to help spread democracy.  The U.S. mainstream press lapped it up.

There is one great big problem, however, with that reasoning, one that the mainstream press clearly is unable to see. The president of Ukraine — the president that the private groups violently ousted from office — was democratically elected. Those $5 billion of U.S. taxpayer monies were used to destroy democracy, not fortify it.”
