Granny goes on a killer-trolley-bag massacre in the metro over a pimply teenager who will not give up his seat?

I wonder if they'd have to moooove to a bigger house?

Seems more Anti West than anything else. Always saying how Putin tells the west to mind our own business. I liked it because it reports some everyday life in Russia. Not always gloom and doom like our news in the west.

It was the guickest place to read Pootie's address in it's entirety, than anywhere else. I'm glad WTR links it. I also have Iran daily news, which is just as interesting. The only other news I listen to is CBC in Canada, the rest are all hype and spin in the west. CBC is government controlled, and forced to show all sides of a story.

Yeah it does give a good portrait of Russian life. I have just recently started reading CBC Online. I like it a lot, it's really well balanced; it reminds me of the BBC. The BBC is my favorite international news source next to ABC World News and CNN. Ok, I gotta go finish cleaning my bathroom. The sink cleaner has sat long enough.

Only a government beauracracy with 1 bil annual subsidy can get news right. Only you can think that just because something is controlled by the government it's somehow more balanced. Most people would think that the best possible situation is when news soruces of all kinds are independently owned and are not controlled by any government. That does not remove a bias, of course. But certainly makes those news sources less dependent on government handouts and favors. Why don't they also nationalize Globe & Mail and Toronto Star? I think you should start a "Converted Bus Radio Network". Zach may tune in.
