US MAINSTREAM MEDIA continues to give a partial, and dangerously misleading view of events in Ukraine.
The latest misrepresentation is in the reporting of the recent election for a new President.
Western media has presented the results as an "overwhelming victory" for chocolate billionaire oligarch Petro Poroshenko, with more than 54% of the vote.
This seems to be an impressive endorsement in the bid to give the coup-government some legitimacy. Until the turnout figures are examined.
The US media, in particular, has almost universally ignored turnout.
But figures from the Central Election Commission of Ukraine report an overall turnout of just 60.3%.
On that basis Poroshenko can claim the overall support of fewer than one in three Ukrainians.
