I did not know that in comparison with others, perhaps, she was somewhat better. Thank you for letting me know. Needless to say, she has my sympathy at the personal level. But I doubt that any of the networks will change. They will seek and eventually find an angle from which savages look justified on the whole if not in details.

As a side remark, I am amused (and simultaneously dismayed, since it is a reflection on the state of our culture) to hear how Anderson Cooper and others refer to the ruffians as “thugs.” It took to be personally roughed up for them to recognize scum for what it is. Please observe, however, that a journalist is murdered in Russia at a rate of 2 a year for the last decade -— has those in power, or the thugs that actually execute the opposition, ever been called thugs on our TV? Does the American public know the true face of modern Russia and its rulers? Of course not: the Russian savage government is supposed to be romanticized at the moment.
