As my friend Ivan Nuffio noted, the most racist Ukraine coverage on TV News:
1. BFM TV (France)
"We are in the 21st century, we are in a European city and we have cruise missile fire as though we were in Iraq or Afghanistan, can you imagine?!”
2. BBC (UK)
“It’s very emotional for me because I see European people with blue eyes and blonde hair being killed” - Ukraine’s Deputy Chief Prosecutor, David Sakvarelidze
3. ITV (UK)
"The unthinkable has happened...This is not a developing, third world nation; this is Europe!"
4. BFM TV (France)
"It's an important question. We’re not talking here about Syrians fleeing... We're talking about Europeans."
5. CBS News (USA)
"This isn't Iraq or Afghanistan... This is a relatively civilized, relatively European city" - CBS foreign correspondent, Charlie D’Agata
6. The Daily Telegraph (UK)
"This time, war is wrong because the people look like us and have Instagram and Netflix accounts. It's not in a poor, remote country any more." - Daniel Hannan
7. Al-Jazeera
"What's compelling is looking at them, the way they are dressed. These are prosperous, middle-class people. These are not obviously refugees trying to get away from the Middle East... or North Africa. They look like any European family that you'd live next door to."
