Putin sound like an empty authoritarian, when he is in fact a very

NBC Butchered Putin's Thoughtful
Responses to Megyn Kelly. Good for Ratings and Warmongers
An open letter to NBC News about Megyn Kelly's
manipulative and shameful interview with Vladimir Putin
Gilbert Doctorow
Dear NBC News Team,
Congratulations! You have graduated from fake news to falsified news,
arriving at a journalistic level that is identical to that in the Soviet
Union in its heyday.
A couple of days ago, the political talk show moderated by Vladimir
Soloviev on state television channel Rossiya 1 broadcast two versions of
a segment from Megyn Kelly's interview with Vladimir Putin last Friday in
the St Petersburg on the sidelines of the International Economic
Forum. One was the complete, uncut version that was aired on RT.
The other was the cut-to-shreds version that you put on air for the
American audience.
(Watch here,
beginning 4 minutes into the program.)
The segment was Megyn Kelly's aggressive question to Putin, asking his
response to what she said was Americans' understanding of his government,
namely one that murders journalists, suppresses political opposition, is
rife with corruption, etc., etc. In the NBC version, Putin's answer
has been cut to one empty introductory statement that "Russia is on
its way to becoming a democracy" bracketed by an equally empty
closing sentence. In the full, uncut version , Putin responds to
Kelly's allegations point by point and then turns the question around
asking what right the USA and the West have to question Russia's record
when they have been actively doing much worse than what was in Kelly's
charges. He asks where is Occupy Wall Street today, why US and European
police use billy clubs and tear gas to break up demonstrations, when
Russian police do nothing of the sort, and so on.
In a word, you intentionally made Putin sound like an empty
authoritarian, when he is in fact a very sophisticated debater who
outranked your Megyn at every turn during the open panel discussion in
the Forum, to the point she was the laughing stock of the day.
Who wins from these games? You are only preconditioning the American
public for the war that is coming, whether by intention or by
accident. And there will be no one left to have the last
laugh after the first day of that war. So you can forget about your
stock options and retirement schemes, ladies and gentlemen of the News
Team.
have a nice day
