"We didn't criticize you when you fired those reporters at CBS." Not really funny. People judge you by what is familiar and natural to them. That Putin would leap to that conclusion says a lot about him and it is not good.

Whew! Bad news when the Russian President has such a fundamental misunderstanding of the abilities and limitations of his American counterpart.
To: Brian Mosely
I saw that press conference and I think a Russian reporter made the statement about CBS, not Putin. Am I wrong? Anyone?

Dear Pooty-Poo,
Give credit where credit is due. President Bush didn't fire your KGB agents posing as reporters for SeeBS. We did!
Sincerely,

Curiously enough, an American president can force the media to fire reporters if he plays dirty enough. Bill clinton forced them to fire at least five reporters who annoyed him, by threatening their bosses with the IRS and the regulators.
Of course Clinton also had the willing help of the media itself, which never criticized him for behaving this way. They probably agreed that the reporters who were fired deserved it because they weren't good little leftists like the rest.
Bush doesn't do that kind of thing. And the media wouldn't let him if he tried. But they were happy to cooperate with clinton in abusing their colleagues.

The reporter
repeated the question...from the rest of the article:
When the two presidents emerged for their joint press conference, one Russian reporter repeated Putin's language about journalists getting fired. Bush (already hot after an earlier question about his spying on U.S. citizens) asked the reporter if he felt free. "They obviously planted the question," said one of Bush's senior aides.

"headling" should be "headline."
*** and besides, who gives a rip whether putin criticizes us or not? we do what we do, because we decide to do it, because we believe it's right.

I find this hard to accept. Putin was KGB. Those guys were vicious and evil, but never stupid. They paid American journalists to spout Kremlin lies (talking points in today's lexicon). They were well aware of who hired and who fired people in the press and media. There is absolutely no way Putin said this as reported.
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
I agree with you, I don't think he understands the ideology of the free press.

'We Didn't Criticize You When You Fired Those Reporters at CBS' I see Vladimir Putin has finally gotten around to activating that DU membership...

Putin is a no good hold-over from the past with the lying and exaggerations..
