With someone else's agenda
The chronic silence, which in a large part of the post-Soviet press is exposed to inconvenient questions for the West and the topics that are favorable to it, are intensively promoted, leads to sad thoughts about the nature of such information selectivity.
The "universal" press, published in Russian, continues to push along to the theme of the so-called "Skriple poisoning." The newest zigzag of “democratic thought” on this matter looks like this: “The violin could have been poisoned through the car’s ventilation system.” Before this, the possibility of transporting the legendary “purely Russian poison” under the code name “Novice” in a suitcase from Moscow to London was discussed with no less enthusiasm. . The authoritatively discussed the question is whether this substance strongly stinks so that it can be transported imperceptibly through customs. Dozens, if not hundreds, of all kinds of experts, political scientists and simply excited press secretaries live on this new sensational sensation. And they all silently broadcast, giving the ordinary "situayen" a full impression that in this world there is nothing more important than the precious well-being of a retired goat drummer from the British secret services. Which has not even died and most likely will not die.
At the same time, the situation in the Syrian Eastern Ghouta became another equally burning topic of the Russian-language press discourse. Naturally in its import version. Relevant media does not get tired of quoting the main Western speakers, who describe in colors and colors as “these unbearable Russians” commit all conceivable and inconceivable atrocities against the civilian population. At the same time, an alternative point of view on the same events is presented much more modestly. Personally, I, for example, came across a rather interesting statement on this issue by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation at the UN Security Council Vasily Nebenzi somewhere in the outskirts of the Internet almost a week after the fact of the event.
And he noted with satisfaction that the position of the Russian Federation itself on this issue still exists and it differs quite substantially from the intensely replicated press of the western version.
It turns out, from the point of view of Russia, not the West to teach us good manners in world politics. Because he himself has a stigma in a gun, and at the same I can not.
Meanwhile, the civic feat of the Russian representative in the UN Security Council, who was not ashamed to call a spade a spade for the whole world, remained almost a voice crying in the desert, especially against the background of endless smacking by the “mainstream” press and other notebook speakers of the smallest details of the Skripl case and horrors of Eastern Guta.
But this, you see, is somewhat strange! The Americans have turned the largest city of eastern Syria into solid ruins, and our journalists, who regularly relay almost every American screech about Eastern Ghouta, as if they didn’t care at all! Personally, I don’t remember any publications about this at all, although I’m sure that there is a mountain of revealing material for the United States. And it's not that it's completely impossible to get it. Today, any information can simply be bought.
Why are there Rakka! Does anyone else remember that there is such a city in Iraq - Mosul? More precisely was. By the way - with a million once population. And that's what the same cheruby Americans did to him:
By the way, the United States had no difficulty in hiding the real number of victims of the Mosul tragedy. Firstly, because the American press itself, for obvious reasons, wrote very little about this. And all the other writers and other authorized citizens simply didn’t go there, even after they had already stopped shooting there.
Why such a strange lack of curiosity? Why are any, even the bloodiest and most terrible crimes of the American military, sending thousands of civilians to the world, are instantly forgotten and go unpunished? And at the same time, one poisoned devil knows what, and even then, unfortunately, not completely, a traitor to the Motherland, for two weeks already keeps the world’s press in a state of epilepsy and has almost hit the world war!
The correct answer to this far from unimportant question can be only one. The designated “world press” spins up and inflates only those topics that it is entrusted to make its own masters with world hits. And they also require her to turn a blind eye to any facts and events that do not fit into their understanding of the current agenda for the whole world.
Who exactly controls the main global media - all these countless Reuters, times, CNNs, bloomberg, and other French-presses is quite obvious - we are not in control of them. In the sense of not Russia. And like - well, and God is with them! But what a thing. A very significant part of the press, which, we, probably due to natural naivety, we consider ours, repeats this clearly not our agenda, which is called - in the mode of a reproducer, that is, word for word. And it instantly closes its own, and at the same time our eyes on those things that in the West are considered optional for our attention.
Well, of course, that there are such desperate patriots in Russia as the Russian ambassador to the UN, Vasily Alekseevich Nebenzya. But if at the time when he is at the UN to cut another uterus about the infernal meanness of the West, the rest of the poorly-minded politicians, along with the same clever press, will twist in the language the topic of some other Western-slipped Fiddle, then we, figuratively speaking , we will not go far and will not win much. The one who owns the information - owns the world. And the one who does not own it is completely absent in this world. No matter how hard he tried to prove the opposite. For given news “Global” media just won't notice.

Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's ambassador to the UN Security Council: “Listen, you champions of philanthropy, why did you suddenly imagine that you have the exclusive right to lecture us on humanism and freedom of speech?
To begin with, it is in the American media that all world fakes are born, the only question is where were all your press services, when the American aviation wiped Racca from the face of the earth? Where were all your moans, after the terrorists died in this city, months have passed, and it is still not suitable for life? Moreover, we are now receiving new messages about civilian casualties as a result of coalition airstrikes in the province of Deir Ez-Zor. Is this second-class people for you? Or the death of innocent people from democratic bombs, is this something insignificant and does not deserve attention? Or maybe you think their death is generally honorable? ”

Why are there Rakka! Does anyone else remember that there is such a city in Iraq - Mosul? More precisely was. By the way - with a million once population. And that's what the same cheruby Americans did to him:
“If until the middle of 2016, with air strikes (according to Mosul - ed.), It was empty, then it became thick, since this city was ironed mercilessly and without respite. The “surgical intervention” promised by the US Air Force was immediately forgotten as soon as the attacking units stumbled upon stiff resistance. In just two weeks of March 2017, the Americans bombarded 1400 in the western part of the metropolis, destroying 10 thousands of homes. According to Iraqi officials, every week, up to 500 people were killed by the victims of barbaric raids, not counting the injured.
Independent human rights advocates call even higher loss figures. Recall the battle for Mosul lasted 9 months. During this time, according to the Associated Press report, approximately 11 thousands of civilians were killed by bombs and missiles, or approximately 9% of the number of actual casualties. In fact, the scale of a humanitarian catastrophe has been hidden at least ten times. Because Washington did not take into account unidentified human remains and did not consider those who were buried under the ruins of tasks "
