A Google search for “Who Shot Down Malaysian Airlines 17?” elicits
a plethora of innocuous-sounding Kremlin sites (Globalnews, Express, Storyleak)
claiming that either a Ukrainian
fighter or a Ukrainian
missile shot down MH17 to cast blame on Russia. Western media, in contrast,
still write in cautious tones. After all, they say, the matter is under
investigation. BBC cautions that getting
to the truth is a “Herculean task” and that “alternative scenarios” must be
disproved. The New York Times leads
with the headline
“Little Certainty 1 Year after Airliner Shot Down in Ukraine .” Such hemming and hawing
raises the doubts for which Russian propaganda strives.
