Putin Renews Subscription to Time Magazine

And we wonder why the parent company of WB, the movie company that is soaking in red ink over their anti-American output, selects a dictator.

This guy has closed newspapers critical of him, shut down TV stations that dared to broadcast real news, thrown opposition leaders into psychiatric "hospitals," participated in the attempted murder of Viktor Yushchenko, is suspected by Britain in murdering Alexander Litvinenko, and this guy is Man of the Year. Jesus. Time's circulation has seen a dramatic drop from "claimed" 4.5 million to somewhere around 3.8, but in typical new MSM fashion they are claiming a "real" circulation of fifteen million because the magazine is passed around---like the two year old copies we pick up in hospital waiting rooms---and they are now trying to convince advertisers to pay a new rate. Their circulation lead over their competition has dropped dramatically as well. Current figures include the renewal by Putin and the entire Russian government.

Well, nobody can say they didn't realize how corrupt the MSM actually is.
