BobL, Putin got rid of all independent media when he came into power. The media in Russia is state-run precisely so a coup won’t happen. There are zero opposing voices. Its all state propaganda, 24-7.

This is one of the basic “how the rest of the world works 101” things Americans don’t get.

Russia has an even worse situation media wise when you think about it.

And when Democrats are in the White House, you can argue our media behaves like Russian sycophant slaves indeed.

Yet, you are citing anti-government Russian media from both left and right way too often.

Yep, so he wound up with Obama’s media - no different than here.
