What about the ones over here who DO work for a long term organ of state propaganda? ABC CBS NBC CNN NYT WaPo NPR LAT and the hundreds of thousands of other organizations that dot the landscape like ‘raisins’ in a rodent cage? At least Pravda and Tass and even Putin are pushing Christianity. Rather hard in many cases. How about A&E over here?

Pushing Christianity is something that the Founding Fathers wanted to guard against. Such a thing is not free exercise of religion. That is, if that’s what Pravda is even doing, and their calls for gun control seem to speak towards another agenda besides.

The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing. It’s they who we ought to look to for at least one form of the right example, not the statists overseas.

Putin and all the “reformed” bolsheviks and KGB agents are doing anything but pushing Christianity. Grandstanding in the front row of the orthodox cathedral and crossing yourself does not make one a Christian.

Interesting. Most of the content of those media companies is sponsored by the wealthiest and most influential of constituents (the remainder sponsored by the various levels of government controlled by the influential constituents).

Pravda has again been owned by the Communist Party in Russia since 1996. Tass is state-owned.

The political classes have turned many things upside down. Plutocracy, communism--same thing. Both are quite centralized, with leaders of both being quite pathological.
