German N-TV Phone Poll Shows 89% Back Putin’s Ukraine Policy
This is surprising news. In spite of biased news coverage in the German mainstream media, it appears that many of the Germans know the truth. The people presumably know that the truth of the Ukraine crisis is not reported by the mainstream media and they can know the truth only through the Internet information. I hope that such movement will spread across many countries like in Germany.

N-TV Phone Poll Shows 89% Back Putin’s Ukraine Policy

MOSCOW, May 13 (RIA Novosti) – A phone
opinion poll conducted by the German TV channel N-TV has
yielded a surprise finding that 89 percent of its viewers sympathize
with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s policy on Ukraine.
A poll on Russia’s handling of the Ukraine crisis by the
Berlin-based N-TV went spectacularly wrong in
the channel’s opinion, when the majority of its audience said “yes” to the
question “Do you have understanding for Putin’s policy?”
The response was indeed so baffling that the poll was
wiped off the N-TV home page the same day, but not
before some people managed to make screenshots of it,
which they posted online.
A screenshot posted on the Facebook page
of Christoph Hoerstel from Potsdam shows that 89 percent
answered with a resounding “yes,” with the remaining 11 percent responding with
a “no.” Respondents could choose only those two options.
The subsequent deletion of the controversial survey
raised an important question of news coverage in the German mainstream media,
which has been remarkably vocal in its disapproval of Russia’s stance on
Ukraine.
In February, the Ukrainian parliament backed by far-right
movements ousted President Viktor Yanukovych and scheduled an early
presidential election for May 25.
Moscow has described the uprising in Kiev as an
illegitimate fascist coup and a military seizure of power, which resulted in it
taking steps to protect ethnic Russians in Ukraine, including the reunification
with Crimea.
