Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Since we're quoting Naked Capitalism, here is commenter BigRed:

Ukraine: Is Obama Channeling Cheney? | naked capitalism

To add some nuance, because Mr. Hudson unfortunately messed up:

1) Monitor doesn't claim that shots were only from the hotel but that there also shots fired from the hotel, additionally to government buildings.
2)The doctor they talk to, who they claim was treating victims from both sides, says that the victims had been hit by the same type of bullets, which Monitor uses to argue that those shots were probably not fired by police since they wouldn't have shot their own guys. Since he's not the only one who treated demonstrators, this doesn't allow to draw further conclusions.

There's obvious need to counteract the pro-EU/NATO propaganda. But by overstating claims, TRNN leaves itself open to justified attacks that undermine the larger issue.

Transcript of the Monitor report in German is here: http://www.wdr.de/tv/monitor/sendungen/2014/0410/maidan.php5

Having read the linked report this is entirely correct.
