MOSCOW · At their first meeting with journalists since taking over Russia's largest independent radio news network, the managers had startling news of their own: From now on, they said, at least 50 percent of the reports about Russia must be "positive."

Journalists employed by the network, Russian News Service, also say they were told by the new managers, who are allies of the Kremlin, that opposition leaders could not be mentioned on the air and the United States was to be portrayed as an enemy.

This is pretty serious, methinks. 50% good news about Russia, US as an enemy, don't tell me Putin is trying to get the Cold War back up!? Oh well, I'm sure the EU will stop him from crossing the line.


























Or will they?

The USA should not be represented the enemy of Russia. Only the enemy expands a military alliance - NATO and places anti missales system with borders of Russia. I in 1991 thought, that the USA the friend and will help our Russian democracy. Now I am assured by the USA the enemy. Only our nuclear weapon rescues Russia from aggression of the USA as it was in Iraq..

I in 1991 thought, that the USA the friend and will help our Russian democracy.

Your just mad because you would not help yourself. You wanted Putin, you got him.
but with Putin you won't have your democracy.

oh, but somehow that's our fault?

Putin is our democratic choice. Putin's support now 70-72 % in the end of the second presidential time. If you do not like Putin - means you not like democracy.

To us our problems - to you your problems.

I do not wish to be at war with the USA, but I see that the USA now the most aggressive country.

I simply wish to live and work in the Russia not being afraid of a nuclear attack from the USA in case of if my democratic choice will not be coordinated with Washington.

Well, your fear of the USA is a self made paranoia.
or a national fear tactic of Putin's to control you using
fear.

But I can tell you where you can look to find true freedom "The Man In The Mirror"

For last years the USA have attacked Serbia and occupied Iraq, and now are going to attack Iran. Russia and China are named by Minister of Defence of the USA possible enemies. Russia (as Iraq and Iran) has a lot of oil and gas. It's not my paranoia, it's the real policy of the USA.
