Putin has put the kabosh on any Western style journalism in Russia, and the media have really turned into a bunch of sycophants.
Don't believe me? Check out this story. Does anybody seriously believe that Vladmir Putin, Prime Minister of Russia, managed to save a TV camera crew from a tiger attack? Not only that, but he did it by shooting the tiger with a tranquilizer gun, so the tiger itself wasn't even injured?

Reminds me of pre-Iraq war coverage by our own brainless US journalists.
