UT, chronicling Ukraine's journey to complete European self-destruction

A new 24-hour English-language television channel called "Ukraine Today" began satellite and internet broadcasting from Kyiv on August 24 with news stories about developments in Ukraine.

The channel uses a "UT" logo and is part of Ukraine's 1+1 Media Group - which includes eight Ukrainian television channels and five online news platforms.

Oleksandr Tkachenko, the general director of the 1+1 Media Group, says Ukraine Today is challenging "a large-scale information war" by Russian state media, which he accuses of broadcasting "lies and distortions" about Ukraine to support of the agenda of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The new channel is headed Ukrainian journalist Tetyana Pushnova, a former editor for the 1+1 Media Group's TSN website.

The channel reportedly plans to start satellite broadcasts to the United States in the future and to eventually broadcast in the Russian language.

Comment: This venture is owned by Ukrainian media company 1+1 Media. Guess who owns that? PrivatBank Group, controlled by Ukrainian-Israeli billionaire Igor Kolomoyski, one of the key funders of ethnic genocide in eastern Ukraine.

Stand by for 'objective news' from UT (ahem)... Henceforth, Ukraine Today can be abbreviated to Un-True.

I love that. "Tune in for your latest version of the Un-Truth..."

I take it the logo is a pun on "squaring the circle".

"This venture is owned by Ukrainian media company 1+1 Media. Guess who owns that? PrivatBank Group, controlled by Ukrainian-Israeli billionaire Igor Kolomoyski, one of the key funders of ethnic genocide in eastern Ukraine."

Maybe the Khazars want their empire back.

It may be Ukraine Today, but it's not Ukraine today in this universe.

I don't quite see the necessity for another channel of blatant lies because the western media are already doing that about the events in Ukraine (and everything else) and a Russian language version is a total waste of time because the Russians (in Russia and Novorossia) are not going to fall for the BS. Un-Truth TV is redundant in every way.

Well, if your country is in debt and falling apart, you gotta spend the money you don't have on something!

Quote of the Day

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

- Michael Crichton
