Now you are really out in left field. A lot of the time we have to read Russian sources (or British, etc) to find out what is going on here. We have better lip service for freedom of the press but less actual freedom of the press.
We the United States of America has less freedom of the Press than Russia? You actually believe that? I pee on you!
Correction: a lot of the time you have to read Russian sources (or British, etc.) to confirm your bias.
Seriously, there is nothing more frightening than a "conservative" defending the Russian press. Those that aren't in prison, already, I mean.
