I'd rather the Moscow Times exist than not though. Their sales people are rude, soviet-type idiots and their reporting might be one-sided but I actually am glad that I can find it every day and at least read some of the pages in there.

They could be closed in a heartbeat and nobody would kick up a fuss... When they reported on a serious situation regarding the abuse by a Russian company of International Patent law by claiming to have invented products available in the West for over 50 years, and then using their Russian "Patent" to exthort "fees" from construction companies, suppliers and end users....what did the paper write up???? Interesting enough it was the fact that the Director of the company concerned, Michael Wheller of OfficeScape Projects Ltd, was attacked with a cake after the press conference!!! Virtually no content about the case itself....but what do you expect... The Moscow Times is a hollow shell of what it used to be with everyone being afraid to say anything adverse to the expected Kremlin line.... God forbid that they should actually present a serious story written by their own journalists...they are too afraid of the consequences...or at least the owner and editors are...in my humble opinion of course! The Moscow Times is not even worthy of wrapping your fish and chips in...even if they were freely available in Moscow! It cannot even claim to be a tabloid let alone a respectable newspaper; afterall even a tabloid has the occasional serious expose or story! It does sicken me that a so called Western Paper churns out the same Kremlin propaganda as Russia Today and expects us to believe it....very sad...did they have a choice but to sell out???
