CNN censors news on missiles hitting RTS
April 24, 1999



New York, April 23, 1999 (Tanjug) - Two hours after the criminal NATO air raid on journalists and Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) in the centre of Belgrade, the CNN reporter briefed the American public on that horrible event saying only that very possibly there were casualties.

Later on, this news disappeared and the picture of horrors from Belgrade was not broadcast.

Brent Sadler, CNN reporter from Belgrade, who was sending his reports from Belgrade using the Serbian Television up to the moment of the air strike, did not send any further reports and testimonies about this new bestial destruction of the aggressor.

Everything has been obviously done according to a scenario made up in advance and everything that happened had a goal to block the true information from Yugoslavia in the eve of the NATO summit to start this evening in Washington.

The British agency Reuters, pointed out this clear connection between hitting the Yugoslav TV station and gathering of the NATO heads in Washington.

In their information, Reuters says that the latest attack which took place last night, came at the moment when a strong signal was sent from Belgrade for the resumption of peace talks, and that all that happened in the eve of the NATO summit in Washington which is to take place just today.

The same agency makes the connection of this brutal attack on RTS with the diplomatic activity which took place yesterday in Belgrade when the envoy of the Russian President Boris Yeltsin, Victor Chernomyrdin talked with Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

The attack on RTS and the bestial attack on journalists which were "promoted" to military targets of the NATO aggressor, was not accidental at all.

In the last month, the American public was able to see with their own eyes, primarily thanks to RTS, all the barbarity and brutality of the aggressor whose targets were civilians, residential blocks, factories and bridges. Had there not been the Serbian television and the words from Yugoslavia, even this fraction of truth would not have been seen.

It is sufficient to recall the recent horrible bombarding of the refugees columns of the Kosmet Albanians who were massacred by the NATO missiles. The picture of this event went to the world thanks to RTS.

The business centre "Usce" and a horrifying picture of the civilian building in flames, the pictures of the ruins of the Yugoslav President's residence - all this was seen by the world thanks to RTS.

The aggressor had to knock off too painful truth in exactly brutal way as he has been carrying out his war operation against sovereign Yugoslavia.

The word of the journalist was attacked by the aggressor and its propaganda machinery which cannot stand any test, nor a risk of facing the reality, nor can it face the real picture and objective facts.

The NATO aggressor thinks if they kill journalists, if they destroy the TV stations by the bombs, if they destroy transmitters and remove the pictures, they will knock off the truth.

But the journalist's word of truth which defends the freedom is much stronger than that.
