@SeaGreenEyez The bias that the Russia Times (rt) presents comes from a hostile foreign power, bent on destroying free thought and democratic ideals. Pardon my skepticism.

@powder The agenda they promote is called capitolism comrade. The issues you mention are real but are largely the result of Media Oligopy which has occured due to the lack of proper regulation. That's far different than control by an authoritarian regime supported by a criminal oligopy run by an ex-KGB thug. Here is an article about it from a place you might trust. [old.themoscowtimes.com]

@powder Russia isn't expansionist? I guess Crimea doesn't count right? Oh and didn't Putin have to change jobs with his Prime Minister for one term in order to circumvent the Russian Constitution? I also haven't heard of the CIA putting radioactive material in anyones milk lately. How do they treat gay people there? (Olympic Controversy). What about Pussy Riot? Weren't they protesting inside churches? Seems like you would appreciate that, at least. (Putin sure didn't)

He is not ours anymore, he has taken out US citizenship some years ago.

@Jolanta Just keep sending your quirky female pop stars and hunky male actors for our super hero movies. We got enough plutocrats and anarchists already.

@Seminarian We are very sorry about those male actors, we so much wanted to keep them, but what can one do.
