On Fox News' website, if you scroll all the way down the main page, you'll see an article on it. Very much surprised that this hasn't gotten more attention in the MSM out here.
ETA: This pic from the Maidan is from over a month ago, but it's awesome

I went on CNN.com right before lunch and not a single article, reference or mention of the riots on the main page. Just checked and still nothing. Here, go see for yourself CNN

wasn't trying to come off as a smart arse or troll with my previous post, I'm genuinely shocked that the big news outlets aren't giving this any form of coverage, or if there is any coverage, you have to put on bifocals to see the article on it.
my apologies if there was a misunderstanding

It's no surprise that this story isn't being shown on state-run media here in Amerika.

Ukraine protests: Opposition issues 'attack' ultimatum
Ukrainian opposition leaders have issued an ultimatum to President Viktor Yanukovych, after talks failed to resolve the political stalemate.
Vitali Klitschko said he would lead pro-EU protesters "on the attack" in the capital, Kiev, if the government refused to call snap elections.
Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said compromises "might be possible", but the opposition should avoid ultimatums.
Two activists were killed in clashes with police in Kiev on Wednesday.
They were the first fatalities since the anti-government protests flared up in late November over Mr Yanukovych's decision to pull out of a landmark treaty with the EU.
Late on Wednesday, Ukraine's Radio Liberty reported the death of a third activist.
The body of Yuri Verbitsky was found in a forest outside Kiev, bearing signs of torture, according to the broadcaster.
He had reportedly been abducted earlier this week with activist Igor Lutsenk, who was later released. Mr Lutsenko is said to be in hospital.
Hundreds of people have been injured in the clashes, though some of the violence has been blamed on a little-known far-right group, Right Sector.
Wednesday's unrest came on the day that new anti-protest laws entered into force. Parliament approved the laws last week, triggering renewed protests which spilled into violence on Sunday night.

Americans are too stupid to find Ukraine on a map, much less to know that it even exists, or to care about what's going on there or how it affects geopolitics?
The second most popular story on cnn.com, after that kid dying during that fire rescue, is that the dads from Full House are reuniting in a Super Bowl ad.

Oh I didn't mean it to come off like that.
I was just expanding on yours with another example of my own on how little the coverage has been. Didn't see anything in the USA today iPhone app earlier either. Good thing we have the internet, smart phones and streaming websites.Posted on 1/22/14 at 7:51 pm to drewnbrla

I started following on Twitter today and the US Ambassador to Ukraine tweets "We're not giving up on Ukraine or the Ukrainian people". The comments of course were expected such all we did for Syria and Egypt people who protested their corrupt government
