Condemning the Guardian's coverage of the recent Nord Stream sabotage, Lascaris discusses the increasing lenghts which Western media will go to promote the U.S. government's hegemonic agenda. He highlights several examples of the Guardian's exercises in propoganda-masquerading-as-journalism.

Excerpt:
On September 28, two days after natural gas began belching into the Baltic Sea due to multiple blasts targeting Nord Stream, the Guardian published an article by Philip Oltermann, the Guardian's Berlin bureau chief, entitled "Nord Stream blasts could herald new phase of hybrid war, say EU politicians".
By focusing attention on the perspective of EU politicians, the title of Oltermann's article left no doubt as to its bias: E.U. governments have flooded Ukraine with weapons and have imposed sanctions on Russia that were plainly designed to destroy its economy. None of the E.U. officials quoted in the article can plausibly claim to be independent, objective arbiters of the debate over who attacked the Nord Stream pipelines.
