[Peace-discuss] the truth about putin

[E. Wayne Johnson via Peace-discuss]

I suppose I should stand corrected.

Nick Cohen, a high priest at the Guardian,
can straighten me out...

(and help me to respect the value of reputable news media...)

    "Vladimir Putin is the world’s corrupt policeman. He finds the
    seediness in every country and nurtures it. On some occasions, he
    exploits cynicism and paranoia at once; on others, he banks it for
    later use. Often he appears to fan corruption for the hell of it
    because that is all he knows how to do.

    The posters appearing on British advertising hoardings promoting his
    propaganda channel give a notion of the scale of his effort. His
    underlings have rebranded his Russia Today station “RT” – in the
    hope that its dumb viewers will not realise that they are watching a
    channel whose political line follows the Kremlin line with puppyish
    eagerness.

    While reputable news organisations from the BBC to the New York
    Times fire news reporters who try, however inadequately, to tell the
    truth, Russia Today has extended its reach..."

Take note, and beware, Oliver Stone. Obama is the good cop. The MSM is 
"reputable.
