NINA:

Sad to say, it seems your comment is every bit as “malicious” as you accuse the article of being (you even stoop to attacking my grammar!), and certainly very much detached from reality.

This article isn’t only about the Moscow Times, it’s also about The eXile. While obscure to many, it wasn’t (as the article clearly states) obscured to the Kremlin, which is the reason it was shut down. Moreover, there were those who admired it, for instance Owen Matthews, the Moscow Bureau Chief of Newsweek magazine — ironically, in the Moscow Times itself.

So, to put it mildly, you’re simply not getting your facts right, and your comment is hardly an example of the type of journalism you claim to want to see.
