This is all coming from the Russian state-run media: PRAVDA, which, laughingly enough, means "truth" in Russian.

It's the oxymoron of the day.

You remember the old saying from Soviet times.....Remember "Izvestiya" means "news"....so the saying was, 'There's no Izvestiya in Pravda, and there's no Pravda in Izvestiya."

I don't remember that old saying but it's a GOOD'UN.

Ahem, we might even extrapolate to our own media.
