Crazy isnt? our country is being sold down the rive

impossible to find the sources which debunked this "putin kills journalists" story, due to the amount of coverage the fake death of Arkady Babchenko received

"To all those journalists who think I've crossed a red line, my friends, the moment you are paid a visit [by security agents] and then get asked, 'What do you want? Do you want to stay alive? Or do you want to preserve the ethics, chastity and the high moral ground of your profession?' Please, my friends, feel free to preserve the ethics, chastity and the high moral ground of your profession!" he said. "I chose to stay alive."

Your post doesn't make any sense.

I'm implying that the real threat to fair and honest journalism, esp. in the US, is Obama. He prosecuted lots of journalists, if trump had done the same it would be front page news for six months

Obama prosecuted lots of journalists---1. You are correct by PROVING IT or 2. Your are a LIAR and SHUT UP. Ball is in your court.

google how he targeted and spied on journalists and their sources under the "espionage act"

What a bunch of babble. Doesn't make ANY sense.

Those are the words of Arkady Babchenko... what does not make sense to you?

It is a lot of babble, what is his point?

Do you know his story? You should, then it would be clearer.

Got proof? None = not air. There are solid reasons why the Manisky Act is in effect

Did you read my comment? There is proof out there, it's impossible to find now because when you search for "russian journalists" you get a million hits for Babchenko.

nice find, all the way from new zealand too...just can't argue with that title "Here's a list of all the Putin critics who wound up murdered"

what could you find on the internet along the lines of "Here's a list of all the Clinton critics who wound up murdered"...I wonder how long that piece would be?!?

Well you should start here I would think. - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/clinton-body-bags/

let me ask you a question...why do you believe that "snopes" and other sites like it, have some kind of monopoly on "truth"?

wouldn't start or end up in either, for any kind of research

Now lame and stupid. By the way, Putin is really short, that guy is tall.

That's more about local government. Russians are well aware of corruption at lower levels. Trying to blame Putin for the actions of some city politician is like blaming Trump for the conditions in Detroit. Besides that, any effort to expose mob dealings will get reporters killed, but people want to blame the government for that too.

How many Rubles were you paid to post your garbage? Shift blame, you sound like our lying piece of crap Traitor Trump

jfc - the level of ignorance of world affairs in this nation is embarrassing - NOTHING gets done in Russia without Putin ordering/approving.
