I read and you did me come across as censorship or even a critic that a flashing of propaganda but it also strikes me as a is a very routine and it very common way of pretty decent Television News not only in russian but i think pretty much everywhere how common this dream interviewing of this sort at in the industry is in the industry and if youre asking do t.
