Calling Natalya Dymitruk

Anyone listening to Red Radio or Fox News who doesn't buy into the GOP storyline must wonder why someone like Natalya Dymitruk can't work for those networks. And network officials must be nervously wondering if there is a Natalya Dymitruk among their midst.

Who is Natalya Dymitruk? Acording to the AP, viewers watching state-run Ukrainian television after last week's presidential runoff heard the official declaration of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych's victory. But the hearing-impaired got a radically different message.

"The results announced by the Central Election Commission are rigged, do not believe them," Natalya Dymitruk told UT-1 viewers when asked to relay the declaration in sign-language.

State run media in Ukraine have been pushing the Red State, Soviet backed candidate, over the Blue State, western backed candidate. Looking at how the media played the election, one has to wonder if they viewed Karl Rove's and the GOP's playbook and decided to model their coverage after Red Radio and Fox News.
