Have you ever been to Russia or anywhere outside of the country?
It might shock you to learn that not everything works the same way in your little world you see on CNN.
Our media mirror the old govt. USSR media, Pravda. While it is true that Russia has reopened its churches and lightened up a bit, the truth is Putin IS ex KGB and has destroyed every challenge to his power.
I have always wanted to see Russia, but have not been there.
Again, what did you mean by your snide post? By the way, I do not now, nor have I ever watched CNN or the alphabet stations. I do not agree with their take on anything. I read most of my news on the internet and watch a little Fox, even tho the supposed "conservative commentators" let the libs talk all over them and O'R has to be the biggest bloviator on the planet.
