Free press, you mean, like fact that government owns only 1 of 4 major networks, which it took in bankruptcy and is now in negotiation with Murdoch for sale? Sorry but BBC is all government owned. Also what, 10 news papers out of hundreds owned by government? US/EU socialist press much more untruthful and special interest controlled.

As for accountability, much more criticism of Putin in one week then in 3 months of Bush in US television. And consider that under Clinton absolutely no criticism...

Well, happy late birthday.

I'm in the U.S. It's TOTALLY different. In my home we have several hundred cable TV stations. There is a HUGE amount of variety. The govt. doesnt own ANY of them.

As for accountability, much more criticism of Putin in one week then in 3 months of Bush in US television.

How do you know that? A recent analysis of our 3 major network news outlets found that in the 1st 3 months of this year 100% of their stories regarding Bush were negative in some way. That's not 99% it's 100%. That's incredible, even by our liberal media standards. They want Bush out.

And consider that under Clinton absolutely no criticism...

I'm sure he would disagree. It was the press that uncovered the Monica scandal. It led to Clinton lying "under oath" and being impeached. He was only the second U.S. President to be impeached. We have a new President every 4 or 8 years. That's quite amazing that you would think the press was so kind to him. He acted so wrecklessly they couldn't ignore it.

Well, happy late birthday

Thank you very much. It makes us Free Republic soulmates.:)
