You guys have covered the corruption in Ukraine extensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs just one example, here is a piece from the NYT Editorial Board titled, \u2018Ukraine\u2019s Unyielding Corruption,\u2019\u201d the conservative host wrote, linking to the Times piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI educated myself about both the neo-Nazi problem in Ukraine and the unyielding corruption by reading your newspaper, not Russian state media,\u201d she continued. \u201cIs there something specific I said that was different form what you guys have written in the past?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Owens didn\u2019t stop there; she followed up her email with another email which included five links to mainstream outlets reporting on the corruption in Ukraine. Two of the five links were from the Times.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor more good measure, here are some more past articles written from reputable sources over the past few years about the corruption and neo-Nazi problem in Ukraine,\u201d Owens wrote in the email.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor clarity, are you now suggesting that what the western media covered extensively over the last few years is now just Russian propaganda?\u201d she queried. \u201cAre you suggesting all of these articles were sponsored by Russia state media?<\/p>\n<p>She also provided screengrabs of left-leaning outlets, including The New York Times, reporting on Ukraine\u2019s well-known problem with corruption via Instagram.
