SEEMS LIKE PUTIN LEARNED A LOT FROM FOX NEWS

(h/t Matt Osborne)

There's a very good article in The Atlantic on the modern Russian news media and a lot of it sounds very close to Fox News in America.  Here's just one example:
When Alexei Volin, Russia’s deputy minister of communications, was confronted with the fact that the crucifixion story was a fabrication, he showed no embarrassment, instead suggesting that all that mattered were ratings. “The public likes how our main TV channels present material, the tone of our programs,” he said. “The share of viewers for news programs on Russian TV has doubled over the last two months.”

WHO ARE THE REAL LIARS.

I'd say the most dangerous.
