In 2000, Putin signed a "Doctrine of Information Security" saying Russian news must be "reliable and objective" with no "false information." Garry Kasparov?Verified account @Kasparov63 Independent media were shut down or handed over to Putin allies, often with KGB as managers. "Cooperation for a stable state & society." Putin specifically mentioned the critical satire show Kukly as "not bothering him." Less than two years later it was forced off the air. In a 2000 interview, Putin's wife said he would "become quite emotional watching TV" & Putin said he wasn't offended, but "my friends are." In same speech Putin praised journalists who had died in their duties. 4 months later, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered. In 2006, Putin hosted the World Newspaper Congress and said the state alone can't improve trust in the media. It "must become responsible." By 2004, Russian TV was effectively censored. The TV Academy stated, "It is propaganda instead of free discussions. Russia TV is not free." Garry Kasparov Retweeted Donald J. Trump The day after federal agents raided the offices of a critical TV station in 2000, Putin made a statement on the importance of free speech. Donald J.

Jonah Goldberg Retweeted Donald J. Trump If you call yourself a conservative and deny that you’d freak out if a Democratic POTUS said anything like this, pick a new label, please. We have an anti-American President who'd love to be an autocrat like Putin. Thank God for our Founders who foresaw the dangers of would-be tyrants like Trumpov.
