From now on, hire only Ukrainian journalists

Via Powerline more encouraging news of the Ukrainian people standing up against election fraud - and how journalists are helping them:

Thursday night it all changed. The management and owners of all of the major channels gave in to the demands of their striking journalists and allowed honest news reporting for the first time in the history of independent Ukraine. Some of the channels like National Channel 1 and 1+1 began their evening news broadcast on Thursday with a group shot of all journalists standing together and one of them reading a statement from the creative staff in which they swore to report honest news and honest news only! This was one of the most unbelievable sights I have ever seen. And then the miracle happened - they showed a direct feed of a million proud Ukrainians on Maidan in Kyiv to the whole country. If there are defining moments in the birth of a Nation, that was certainly one! I am so proud to be able to witness it with my own eyes, in spite of all the tears that covered them at that moment.

Imagine that:  journalists refusing to tell lies and siding with common people rather than their own elite pals.

Cynics might suggest that these reporters were merely following their own political views.  Fair enough.

But at least they have the courage to stand by their convictions - placing their jobs on the line over what they believe. 

Western journalists prefer to hide behind an army of lawyers, network execs, ombudsmen and flacks.  When caught red-handed, they know they can count on shills to cover their butts and offer them a comfy way out.

The Posse wishes the Ukrainian people luck and we'll continue to follow their struggle to become a full democracy.
