Initially, the media gave blanket coverage to the claims but those stories have since been scrubbed from internet. In the aftermath of the U.S. led invasion no weapons labs were ever found and all those reports were based on nothing but speculation. They were simply used to justify the invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>In essence they were war propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Now however, the corporate media is doing the opposite with claims about U.S.-funded bio-weapons labs in Ukraine, dismissing or sidelining Russian allegations without investigating them. Note below how AP describes the accusations as \u201cRussia&#8217;s conspiracy theory&#8221; without any scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the Western mainstream media is engaged in a full-on propaganda campaign against Russia. This is being done under the pretext of providing &#8220;news&#8221; but it doesn\u2019t bode well. As we suspect that this all prefigures the onset of a much wider conflict, not only with Russia, but with China too.<\/p>\n<p>The media have been given their brief. The people who own and control the media know what\u2019s on the agenda and they are using their assets to portray Putin in as bad a light as possible, just as they once did with Saddam Hussein. The ultimate objective is a much wider war, against Russia and China too.
