NATO criminals misinform media
April 19, 1999

Proof: one of downed aircraft...

Brussels, April 19, 1999 (Tanjug - abridged) - The NATO seat in Brussels accused today the Yugoslav newspapers and TV and ratio stations of misinforming the public, particularly at the moment when the western journalists of the NATO countries openly protested against the censorship which was hiding the scope of destruction of the civilian targets in Yugoslavia.

At today's press conference, NATO's spokesman Jamie Shea accused the Yugoslav media for joining the "regime war machine"! They write that NATO aircraft drop radioactive and cluster bombs, that dozens of aircraft, helicopters and missiles were downed, that German NATO soldiers fled Macedonia to Greece, that thousands of people are demonstrating against aggression on Yugoslavia.

... killed pilots

But he failed to present at least one argument to contradict those assertions of the Yugoslav media, and concluded: "There are no independent media in Serbia".

Who is hiding and twisting the truth was best confirmed at today's press conference when Shea, who was swearing to free information and free media, and whom the London Independent named the "champion of lies", could not give the particulars even four days after the incident when over 70 people had been killed in a NATO aircraft attack on an Albanian refugee column!
