Simplifying the Kosovo Conflict through Media Correspondents

In the summer of 1996, signs of violence were seen in Europe. But this time it is not from Bosnia and Russia but from Yugoslavia. In Yugoslavia, President Slobodan Milosevic is completely attacking the Albanians in the country. Rumors of ethnic cleansing and mass genocide began to increase as the Serbs tried to pursue all Albanians from their country. A full-scale war broke out between Albanians and Serbs by 1998. Because they struggled for the autonomy of the land: Kosovo.

Kosovo War - Kosovo War can be divided into two parts: a collision between Serbia and Kosovo, and a collision between Kosovo and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The first confrontation began in 1996 with a statement by Slobodan Milosevic that Kosovo will continue to be a part of Serbia and as a result Albanians' intense reaction will continue. NATO intervened when Serbian forces slaughtered 45 Albanians in Rakaku village in Kosovo in 1999. NATO has launched a four month bombing campaign against Serbia as a response to Rachac massacre

During the campaign, Serbia and Kosovo explained that NATO is fighting against the Milosevic government, which is "fighting ethnic cleansing" with Kosovo, not fighting Serbian people. International media joined this agenda with the re-enactment of the Gulf War Media Management Campaign, and even if "incidental damage" occurred, it rarely doubted the legitimacy of NATO's air strikes against international law. However, this time there is the possibility that news services such as CNN, Sky News, BBC World etc. will be received in a significant part of the Serbs. A few months ago many Serbs participated in the street demonstrations of Milosevic but as they seemed to collide with the NATO alliance they refused to believe in liberal and democratic Western media. Instead, Kosovo Albanians are more than willing to trust their media, not because of the "ethical" military cleansing, but because they flee from this area due to the bombing of NATO.

After Charlie Hebud massacre in 2015, Chomsky made a controversial comparison between the media and the public's response to these shoots, while in 1999 NATO made a comparison with the Serbian radio station during the Kosovo War We bombed the headquarters. Chomsky condemned the West's media as hypocrisy, accusing only the former. But his analysis of the dual standard of media is far beyond Kosovo due to press freedom. As a result, with Israel's attack on Gaza in the summer of 2014, the Palestinians suffered again a "big challenge" of brutal violence, many of which were murdered, sometimes familiar news cars, and thousands of people I murdered. In addition, while outdoor prisons operated by Israel were crushed into debris again, these excuses immediately collapsed by review.
