The really sad news is that America would be better off if Putin and Obama traded places.

Russian TV stations and news papers are Kremlin controlled. And if they aren’t, they either will be or are being closed down by Putin, or its editors are currently being beaten by masked men, as is known to happen.

Of course our own Enemy-of-Freedom media, needs no coercion at all to cover up for our massively corrupt government, and assist it in oppressing the people. They do so willingly. Then they laughingly refer to themselves as “journalists”.

Nuclear isotopes in your Black Sea clam chowder...I hate it when that hadppens. How is a news anchor suppose to give a report with festering pustulatals all over their face?

“So how can Russia control the media inside Ukraine? What evidence does this “new article” present to backup such a claim.”

Russia is a dictatorship with no freedom of speech. It has just shut down several opposition blogs, and forced the last neutral TV stations to put Kremlin puppets at the helm. Kremlin pays good money to buy up media and forge opinion in what it sees as its satellite states.

So, I guess Putin will put monitors in all of the news rooms. Oh, wait! That was obama’s plan.
