RSSAmericans! please vote for Clinton, because after that, the history of the United States will end. We look forward to seeing many individual States in the United States.
Those “reality” points have nothing to do with the truth, it’s a spin.
Just a few examples:
3. Only 3% of Russians agree that Putin abused human rights, personally murdered 200 journalists, and returned Russia to its totalitarian past., despite having easy access to such views via the press, cable TV and the Internet.
Rebuttal: It is silly to argue how many journalists Putin murdered personally. The author concedes that a number of journalists have been murdered though, so Russians have very good reasons to stick with the official version of “reality” when responding to surveys.
Stories 2 (that the birth rate has increased, the death rate has fallen) and 13 (Russia has European birth rates and African death rates) are a contradiction.
Story 14 – Russia’s level of income inequality and of corruption is average by world standards – is simply sad.
Corruption perception index covered 180 countries in 2007, on the range of 1(most corrupt) through 10(least corrupt). The average rating of around 5 is assigned to South Africa, Jordan, and Malaisia. Russia gets a 2, down from 2.7 at the start of the century.
