Abstract
The 'enlightened' western media has shown itself merely a mouthpiece of NAT O in its coverage of the Kosovo conflict. While it has covered with profess ionalism the plight of the Kosovars, it is silent on the sufferings of the Serbs. NATO's justification of its actions is repeatedly broadcast. But exp erts on international law, human rights issues, observers of multicultural or multiethnic societies are missing from the discussions; Almost no dissen ting voices are heard.
