Ignorance is displayed again. The MT is a Western publication owned by Dutch 
ex-Maoist Dirk Sauer tailored to a largely US audience with its own agenda. 
It is published by Independent Media, which also publishes teh 
Russian-language versions of Playboy and Cosmo, plus Vedomosti, and are 10% 
owned by the notorious Menatep Bank and, now, 35% by oligarch Pavel Borodin. 
In the 90s they pushed the "red-brown" angle as a means of scaring 
Westerners into thinking that the alternative to Yeltsin was hordes of 
pogromchiki rampaging over Russia. Barf.

David Johnson censors many things nowadays. JRL has become near-useless. It 
is presided over by an organization headed by McFaul.
