Horrors of Russian Journalism

I think I'll work from home today. Since we're doing this event in Brussels, whenever I send out the invitation, I just get out my laptop here at home and send it by 7 am -- which is 2 pm Brussels time. But with everyone gone except Betty and Charmaine, and our intern not working today, I'll just save some gas and work from home

Wow... well, freedom of speech and all that, I suppose.... but wow. Is Pravda one of their most widely circulated papers?

There really isn't much freedom of speech in Russia when it comes to what you're allowed to say about the government... and when it comes to what you print about America, they probably don't want you to say anything good. It's one thing to voice your opinion, or say whatever you want in a parody, but other than that, I guess they don't care about a little thing called 'libel.'

But yes, that's their mainstream newspaper.
