Interesting.

3. Well this is very telling -

“In the old days under Soviet rule we didn't believe a word of our own propaganda but we thought that information was free in the West and we longed for it,” said Katya, a middle-aged Muscovite. “But we have learnt since that the West has its own propaganda and in some ways it is more powerful because people believe it.”

The coverage goes down well in developing countries that want an alternative to CNN and BBC World Service, a Russian official said. “We have learnt from Western TV how to simplify the narrative.”

4. lol, they are blaming the Republican Party specifically....

I'm not sure what to make of it but honestly the Republican Party does deserve a lot of credit for it's bad behavior.

The world that hates American really just hates the Republican half.

P.S. Putin and his buddies are just a bunch of fascists like Bush and Co. in my eyes.
