Freedom of the press is alive and well in Russia. I do not hear Putin attacking Moscow Times as Obama does Fox News. I do not see the Moscow Times bowing down to Putin as our main stream media does to Obama We are now listed as number 47 on THE freedom of press list. A list we should head. We have dropped twenty two points since Obama took office. NEWS MEDIA PLEASE STAND UP TO THIS TYRANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE TELL THE TRUTH. PROTECT OUR FREEDOM FROM THIS INCOMPETENT SOCIALIST. DO YOUR JOB.STOP THE LYING and COVER UP. BAKHCHYSARAI, Ukraine — Many activists in the turmoil-ridden Crimea believe that the peninsula is Russian land and has always been so. But before Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1783, it was for centuries the center of Crimean Khanate, which for many years controlled what is now the south of Russia and much of modern Ukraine. Its capital was Bakhchysarai, today a little town on the way from the seat of Russias Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol to the regional capital Simferopol, where the parliament on Thursday called for President Vladimir Putin to annex Crimea and moved up a referendum asking residents if they want to join Russia. This is an illegitimate referendum and an illegitimate government that has nothing to do with the Crimean people, said Geray, a heavily bearded Tatar man standing in front of one of numerous mosques whose minarets pierce the Bachchysarai sky. Russia did not do the right thing. It has forged this coup; it was guile, he said. Geray, who learned about the decision of the Crimean parliament to shift the referendum to March 16 and ask Putin to accept Crimea as the 84th subject of the Russian Federation from The Moscow Times, turned a little paler after hearing the news. He asked what Muslim Tatars should do and also wondered how The Moscow Times has not yet been shut down, since, he says, there is no free speech in Russia. Ukraine is a much more democratic country than Russia, that is what we are afraid of, he said. themoscowtimes/news/article/russia-referendum-exacerbates-crimea-divisions-video/495809.html
