"Well, its all trueat least if you live in Russia, because this is the Malaysia Airlines crash story that youd be seeing."
another snip from your link..
"But in Russia, televisionmost of it owned or controlled by the Kremlinis trying to muddy the water with various experts who insist that there is no way that an SA-11 missile system could possibly have downed a plane flying that high. And, mind you, this is not part of a larger debate of could they, or couldnt they; this is all of Russian television and state-friendly papers pushing one line: the pro-Russian separatists weve been supporting all these months couldnt have done this. Watching some of these Russian newscasts, one comes away with the impression of a desperate defense attorney scrounging for experts and angles, or a bad kid caught red-handed by the principal, trying to twist his way out of a situation in which he has no chance."
I've seen bits of this on Rachel's show Friday night.. it's good TNR got it all down on paper. smh Thank you, again, sfm!

"Based on signals the missile system gave off, analysts identified it as likely to be a Russian-made SA-11, a sophisticated system of radars, command posts and launchers. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said the rebels probably couldn't have operated on their own.
"It strains credulity to think that it could be used by separatists without at least some measure of Russian support and technical assistance," Kirby said."

Good article.
That's what this article is saying, too..

Corespondent Sara Firth's announcement came nearly two hours after she stated on Twitter that RT anchors "do work for Putin" and spread "lies," in a conversation with RT London correspondent Polly Boiko. Firth alleged that the network asks its anchors to "obscure the truth," and now she is saying she's had enough.

Thank you for that, karynnj.. it will mean absolutely nothing to those who are stuck in
a corner whining about PS, though. "links, kicks own thread, paid shill " they can't debate her so they whine.. sound familiar?
