AN ANALYSIS OF SERBIAN PROPAGANDA
The misrepresentation of the writings of
the historian Franjo Tudjman in light
of the Serbian-Croatian war
Published by DOMOVINA TT, Zagreb 1992
USA Today in "balance"
Balance is difficult to achieve even when a newspaper offers to let both sides express
their opinion in an equal amount of space. So, for example, USA Today invited the
presidents of Serbia and Croatia to express their view of the military and political
situation in former Yugoslavia. Milosevic's text has the headline "Peace in
Yugoslavia requires justice for all" (November 14, 1991, p. 11A). The headline of
Tudjman's text reads "The Croatians tell their war stories" (November 19, 1991,
p. 13A). Tudjman writes in his text that "many Americans still do not understand the
war against Croatia." The editors of USA Today gave Tudjman's text an inappropriate
headline and so proved the correctness of Tudjman's remark about misunderstanding of
"the war against Croatia." Judging by the headlines, the reader can get the
impression that the aggressor is talking about peace, while the side under attack
"tells its war stories".
