"Given the location"? What is it about a forest that makes you think the government was involved? Or do you mean that every death in Russia is a suspicious death?
- hoopism 12y agoMy comment was exactly that... Basically saying that as someone uneducated on foreign affairs my gut reaction to a death of a prominent Russian scientist is to suspect that the article is about suspicious conditions. Not sure why this got negative feedback... I bet a lot of people immediately thought that was the purpose of the story.
- grimtrigger 12y agoPeople seem to be interpreting your comment as an accusation, rather than an admission of bias.
- hoopism 12y agoThank you. I think you are right. Felt like somehow what I said was inflammatory. If anything it's admission of ignorance... but one I thought was worth mentioning.
