I could not turn this off. These journalists and Putin grasped some of most important global issues and discussed them factually and unvarnished. This type of dialogue could never be allowed to happen in the U.S.
I don't think our journalists are capable of asking the same type of questions. And Obama needs his teleprompter.
Dittos on this end. Watched the whole thing. Even if you didn’t agree with everything, it was compelling. These reporters weren’t holding anything back.
Here’s what I found most interesting:
* That RT says most of it’s audience is American.
* Snowden didn’t expose anything the Russians didn’t already know.
* He spoke openly about his faith and the faith of the Russian people.
* Made note that their diplomatic missions are not used to influence domestic policies in other countries. (Say what you want, but Russia has an embassy open in every country on earth. We can’t exactly say that these days.)
Vlad seems to have a better grasp on our history than even our politicians, He’s clearly got a better handle on world-affairs. And I also agree that media folks here don’t have the brains (let alone guts) to even come up with questions like those.
Yeah, it’s probably better that the part-time occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave not meet with him. It would be too embarrassing for America.

This is the problem, we have no real journalists in ABCNNBCBS and even worse in the print media controlled by the viral left wing progressives in the NY/LA Slimes, Compost and most other print media.
The mediots posing as journalists are progressive flacks and shills. They hate America, business, Christians, real Jews, our military and anything that is good.
They push the new normal which becomes more decadent each day.
If we had real journalists in the media, there would have been no stalling on Benghazi, IRS, NSA, and other criminal activities posing as advancements. Obamacare would have died in Pelosi’s botox ODed brain.
If we had real journalists, Obama would not have been elected even as a $inator. They would have ferreted out his dark past and showed him to be a phoney.
