As you are well aware Human Resources, the Moscow Times has not been a
newspaper reporting in a serious and balanced manner for some time... but
then again in today's climate how could you blame them!
They could be closed in a heartbeat and nobody would kick up a fuss... When
they reported on a serious situation regarding the abuse by a Russian
company of International Patent law by claiming to have invented products
available in the West for over 50 years, and then using their Russian
"Patent" to exthort "fees" from construction companies, suppliers and end
users....what did the paper write up????
Interesting enough it was the fact that the Director of the company
concerned, Michael Wheller of OfficeScape Projects Ltd, was attacked with a
cake after the press conference!!!
Virtually no content about the case itself....but what do you expect...
The Moscow Times is a hollow shell of what it used to be with everyone being
afraid to say anything adverse to the expected Kremlin line.... God forbid
that they should actually present a serious story written by their own
journalists...they are too afraid of the consequences...or at least the
owner and editors are...in my humble opinion of course!
The Moscow Times is not even worthy of wrapping your fish and chips
in...even if they were freely available in Moscow! It cannot even claim to
be a tabloid let alone a respectable newspaper; afterall even a tabloid has
the occasional serious expose or story!
It does sicken me that a so called Western Paper churns out the same Kremlin
propaganda as Russia Today and expects us to believe it....very sad...did
they have a choice but to sell out??? Who knows??
