It seems odd to conflate a freely owned news source that’s seen as public enemy number one by the executive branch with Russian state news sources. Looking forward to those RT and Sputnik op-eds criticising Putin!

For the news source being freely owned might be a necessary condition to be objective but it is definitely not sufficient.

Sure. That’s why a hundred years of vigorously criticising the government is important to take into account.

Also: your comment history seems unusually political when it comes to Russia.
