Are you freaking nuts?

Are you brain washed that you want to spread evil evenly between mind sets that do what ever it takes to keep their orders on weaponry production for astronomic profits of leading industrial individuals, and the sinister being of appartshniks with privileges of datshas and access to Armani suits?

Are you debil that you want to compare the relentless sabotage and fierce drafting of US policies to the Eastern blocks size of strategic evil?

All the same degree for yin & yangs sake, innit.

Really too funny when half-assed intellect asks you about your nuts. hehe

In the ARD heated debates are going on about reporting in the Ukraine crisis. In a leaked document the ARD program committee claims "anti-Russian tendencies" with its own TV-station. The coverage was not being comprehensive, it lacked the background and criticism of the policy of NATO and the European Union.

The Vice-head of the Left Party, Sahra Wagenknecht, then spoke of a "damning report". She confirms that the TV-station "makes of itself compliant stooges for political interests" for, namely the "federal government, or even the U.S. administration," Wagenknecht said to the "Handelsblatt".

The program committee had made its criticism of the Ukraine-reporting last week publicly. The web portal "heise online" published a "Summary of Protocol 582" of the Advisory Board. There is saying of reports "tending against Russia and the Russian positions". Investigations revealing the bias included ten telecasts of "Brennpunkt" about Ukraine crisis, talk shows and around 30 other productions from the news show "Weltspiegel".

The body lists ten complaints. Accordingly, there have been a lack of reports on the responsibility of the EU and NATO for the emergence of the crisis; the influence of nationalists on the Maidan-revolution had not been acknowledged; there would have also been missing "critical analysis of the roles of Yulia Tymoshenko and Vitali Klitschko". The blame for the escalation of violence was unilaterally assigned to Russia and the ousted president Viktor Yanukovych.

Criticism in this form without precedent in the history of ARD.

The program committee also called for "more thorough research by the political editors". The nine-member Advisory Board is a lay committee, its members are delegated by the state broadcasters. The complaint of the ARD program is a response to the "strong criticism from the public," it said at a meeting in June.

Both shape and sharpness of the criticism and the way how they became public, are without precedent in the history of ARD. Leaked to the public however was only a four-sided excert from the "summary". The official meeting minutes filling "debate on the report on Ukraine crisis", however consists of 23 pages, which are being said to be phrased much more moderately.

Inquiries for an statement on the unusual process of critisism are being rejected by the board however. The chairman Paul Siebertz - a lawyer sent by the Bayerischer Rundfunk - merely states that the commitee works "always with great care".

Doubt cherishes now not only the WDR. Thus, in the attached protocol in June apparently missing "evidence of infiltration of the Crimea by Russian military personnel" are criticized. Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, confirmed the deployment of its military in April.

Many allegations don´t hold proof though with a a view into the ARD archive. Sonia Mikich, WDR-editor in chief, criticized on March 4, in the "daily news" that the West had "wanted to take notice only of death-defying Democrats, but not of the ultra-nationalists" on the Maidan.


In an ARD focus on the same day criticized Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn the eastward expansion of NATO: "As for NATO, the appetite came with the food. We are as NATO moved closer and more intense closer to Russia, as it was settled let's say.. , immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and that has offended the Russian soul. "

On January 22, Moscow correspondent Udo Lielischkies addressed the violence of radical protesters against police forces. On January 25, the "European Magazine" reported on right-wing forces on the Maidan and connections of the nationalist Svoboda party with the German ( fascist party) NPD.

An official statement of the WDR is pending so far. From Cologne is to be heard that the majority of Tom Buhrow´s colleagues are being demonstratively supported by him. "Our colleagues are doing a great job," Buhrow writes in the sender's intranet. The accusation of unclean and one-sided reports will not be accepted. "That goes against our journalistic honor," he says.

The majority of Buhrows director colleagues in the other broadcasters apparently sees the case in similar perspective. ARD internally, the resentment is directed now at any rate aimed against the program committee. Its members had published their criticism publicly, without even giving the affected editors the opportunity to comment on the allegations. There is now "fighting in the meetings," says the WDR.
