Euro-clowns
in full panic
It appears that the corrupted establishment of the
lobby-occupied Brussels bureaucrats prevails over the EU parliament.
Most MEPs decided that there is Russian propaganda against the EU,
equalizing it with the propaganda of ISIS! Hypocrisy skyrockets, as
everyone knows that the Western propaganda through the corporate
media is absolutely certain, most aggressive and uninterrupted for
decades. Those media owned by the same lobbyists who have occupied
Brussels and DC.

There’s
news. There’s fake news. And then there’s “pseudo” news,
which according to the European Parliament, encompasses any
Russian media which doesn’t adhere to a Western narrative and
neglects to present an entirely pro-EU perspective on world
events.
In a
completely bonkers move this week, the EU Parliament approved a
resolution to counter “Russian propaganda” and the “intrusion
of Russian media” into the EU. The resolution was adopted with
304 MEPs voting in favor, 179 MEPs voting against it and 208
abstaining. The most bizarre part, however, is that the resolution
lumped Russian media in with Islamist propaganda of the kind
spread by terror groups like the so-called Islamic State. Thus
Russian media is put on the same level with videos of ISIS
beheadings and incitements to mass murder.
According
to the resolution, Russian media exists to “undermine the
very notion of objective information or ethical journalism,”
and one of its methods is to cast all other information “as
biased or as an instrument of political power.”
The real hypocrisy here is that this
last part almost exactly describes how Brussels regards any media
critical of its own actions. The resolution criticizes channels
like RT for casting other news sources as biased or as instruments
of political power while smearing anyone who associates with the
Russian media as Kremlin puppets, bought and paid for by Vladimir
Putin — and yet the irony appears completely lost on them.

The
resolution simply shows their panic, as they see that their
propaganda is less and less effective to the Western societies.
Several MEPs
expressed their disagreement over the decision:
Sputnik
was specifically mentioned during the session of parliament by
British MEP Steven Woolfe, who stepped out with criticism of Fotyga's
resolution during its debate, joining the dozens of European and
Russian politicians, journalists and commentators who have already
done so.
Supporters
and opponents of the bill loudly accused one another of having
succumbed to propaganda, something Sputnik France suggested instantly
brought to mind associations with George Orwell's famous novel 1984.
At the
same time, observers point out that the large number of abstentions
is an indication that actual opposition to the resolution was even
higher, since most MEPs are usually forced to vote alongside their
parliamentary factions, with abstention being the only effective way
to oppose toeing the party line.
Numerous
MEPs also called out the bill as a destructive effort by Brussels to
"fuel a new Cold War" with Russia amid the potential for
thawed relations between Moscow and Washington.
