Moscow Times suffers from competition from the major media players just
like any local newspaper does - it's not something to be surprised
about.
But what happened to The Word's Worth and Michelle Berdy?!!

intelligence of passed ape rudeness...

I'd rather the Moscow Times exist than not though.
Their sales people are rude, soviet-type idiots and
their reporting might be one-sided but I actually am glad that I can
find it every day and at least read some of the pages in there.

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??
