So the neo-Nazis have seized power in Ukraine

[okaawhatever]

152. Articles on Alternet are only as good as their authors. The article in reference doesn't provide

sources or context for it's claims. It begins by claiming that white supremacist banners and confederate flags are in Kiev city hall. The video links to someone attempting to put up a white supremacist banner but not being able to do so. I can't tell if someone is telling him not to do it or what. There is also one confederate flag, not plural, and flags of about 10 countries including Canada and England.

Next they print this statement:

“There are lots of Nationalists here, including Nazis,” the anti-fascist continued. “They came from all over Ukraine, and they make up about 30% of protesters.”

They don't state who on the ground talked to the individual, where the quote came from, how the writer received the quote, zilch. That's poor journalism, especially when you're talking about something so sensitive. If there were a reporter on the ground who interviewed the guy, they should explain. If they copied the info from another source, they should credit it. Nothing. Just throw out the inflammatory info with zero back up for the claim.

The article goes on in the same vein. It's inflammatory and tends to overstate the role of the Svoboda party in the protest and in the parliament. Yes, they're part of the protesters. Yes, they're ultra nationalist, No they aren't in charge of Parliament or the temporary government and yes the current PTB like Victoria Nuland have already stated she wanted them "on the outside".

Too much rhetoric, not enough to back it up. Unreliable IMO.
