This story is low-key, trying to present all aspects, trying to stay objective -- it's been a long time since I read something like this from a journalist.
Of course, everyone already knew that CNN and others are garbage. If the reality doesn't align with their great capitalism fairytale where Bono is the pinnacle of humanism, they will make it fit ;).
That alone made it more useful reporting for me than many other things I've read about the situation recently where I had to try to figure out what the hidden bias is (and account for it appropriately).
His previous post was even entitled, "Maidan through the eyes of the police and Berkut" so he is trying to be as impartial as he can: http://zyalt.livejournal.com/984379.html
You know, kinda push our western friends to intervene.
