UPD: 06/05/2014 lie does not hurt

The biggest surprise in the whole of the current situation for me was swift, no instant oskotinivanie our media. Everyone who yesterday somehow trying to pretend to be a journalist today, beating propaganda - frenzied, primitive, cruel.

Our television - as a burst abscess, loved me once, "newspaper" and "Ribbon" - steklyannoglazye empty stuffed previous itself. No journalism in the country remained. People - ordinary, sane, it seemed - lost everything and lie, lie, lie! Lie painted chicks in the "News" and "First", correspondents lie, lie on the little things editors and lie on the big editors.

And how well they have, it's interesting, it turns out? It seems to be another two months ago, there were people as people? For all those who are now so desperate, so passionately lying, it could not be the same for a month completely reborn.

It is known that a person, who was forced by circumstances to lie and act meanly, is struggling to avoid cognitive dissonance - and struggled collects information that would help him to prove himself, to prove to himself that he does not lie and do not act meanly. Rational thinking has nothing to do with it: everything is solved with emotions. Liars and scoundrels because they can not live, believing themselves such. So they convince themselves that they are the truth - such. What others are lying. What they are merely protecting themselves and their party. And so right. Their position is vulnerable, fragile, and very important, any support for these liars and villains: they are in fact in childhood were trying to educate good people, and they are now having a hard time. Any praise, any recognition of the important.

And so we read: Vladimir Putin awarded the Order of more than three hundred journalists for "objective coverage of events in the Crimea." And in general in Ukraine. Orders and medals - correspondents, leading, showmen, Glavred ... "Alexander Nevsky", "For Service to the Fatherland" and "Order of Honor". Okay, even reporters - to hell on orders climbed. A Kulistikova with Solovyov for what ?!

The first thing that comes to mind: it is not a reward labor and combat. After all, the alleged time of war, and therefore on the side of the enemy, and therefore, the pen must be equated to bayonet. In war as in war.

And then you wonder: who started the war? Who conjured Bandera and the Nazis, UNA-UNSO who fanned hysteria among Russian-speaking Ukrainians and Ukrainian Russian who told them about six months Lviv massacre at breakfast and Kharkov hanged for lunch? Who turned "Right sector" from a handful of marginal areal whose name and something did not exist, the central force of Ukrainian nationalism? And who, more importantly, this nationalism stuffed growth hormones, month after month watering lie all over Ukraine?

Now - yes, the war. Now each side - dead. Now there is no longer any right or guilty. Now anthill set on fire, you can shake hands, stand back and stare, taking the "impartial position."

So: it is because you guys have arranged. In the Kremlin they have come up, and you have arranged. Each of you, who would not want to change jobs. Who is afraid of lowering wages. Who just did not know how to object to the chief. Who had convinced himself that he was right.

"Friendly people" - GRU - maybe not killed anyone. And you killed. You will not be easy to live with it. It is better to tell a lie and imagine how you lied to others. Better shirnutsya and forget.

Your medals - this is not a reward. This is Putin you morphine syringes distributes.

Rinse today. And you mark those who wash.
