I believe that interview was with Prof. A. Motyl of Rutgers who was also on the Diane Rheims show, on NPR, a few days ago. I agree that we, as viewers, have to hound the stations that Cohen has no credibility as an expert on Ukraine.

  Not very likely although it would help if the video or transcript of the "dialogue" can be provided. One must also take into account that there are agents-provocateurs in Ukraine with white pride worldwide and other neo-Nazi paraphernalia who are infiltrating demonstrations such as OUN-UPA marches for example in order to discredit the country and its struggle for western market reform and political liberalization. Cohen appears to be more of a soviet apologist or an ADL/B'nai Brith agent supporter who have been known to foment and stage such antics.

    There was a very heated exchange with Cohen and a Ukrainian professor a few weeks ago where the Ukrainian expert clearly rattled and got under Cohen's skin. Cohen actually started taking personal shots at the guy when he started to loose the arguement. I think it was on CNN as well, but I can't recall for sure. The Ukrainian basically said Cohen had no idea what he was talking about and presented facts to back up his counter-argument (which is the same one Cohen always uses....that the Maidan was the work of Ukrainian fascists and extremists, yada yada yada). If someone locates it please share it. We should all be writing CNN and demand that if they insist on having Cohen on to give his views, there must a credible person alongside to provide a counterpoint.

      This was the other program on CNN I saw Stephen Cohen -- Piers Morgan with Fareed Zakaria.

      Fareed Zakaria spoke well. The segment with Stephen Cohen was edited out. Stephen Cohen was his usual loving self. Too bad they edited it out.
