Robert Parry — NYT Whites Out Ukraine’s Brown Shirts

The New York Times has been more biased on the Ukraine crisis – endlessly promoting State Department propaganda – than when it published false Iraqi WMD stories last decade. Case in point: a story from Mariupol hailing the Azov battalion without noting its neo-Nazi fighters, writes Robert Parry.
The battalion insignia of the Azov Battalion is a modified Waffen SS Wolfsangle.

Moreover, the story was apparently a plant to draw attention away from the settling of a Ukrainian Army Force by the separatists coincident with the Normandy talks. There was to battle at Mariupol. The separatists were occupied elsewhere.
