agree with you 100%. My favorite example of the Western media's clear bias comes from the WSJ- early in Putin's presidency they wrote an editorial calling on him to take down oligarchs and praising his leadership style. A few years later,

"1 in 3 prisoners are businessmen." Bullshit. The reporter probably misquoted his source or "Business Solidarity" is simply pulling numbers out of their ass for shock value- BBC has never been a friend of Russia so is happy to report non-

I think this needs to be looked at a bit differently- instead of focusing on the ticket buyers (travelers), focus on the airlines. Help them fill those last minute seats, the ones that are still not sold 24 hours (or even less?) before a f

Depends on what the inequality is caused by, if it is caused by a shrinking middle class, then no, it isn't a sign of health. If the middle class isn't shrinking but the rich are making more money, then I'd argue that it could be a sign of

I read statistics that it was the most violent city in Europe. During my 2 years there I didn't really see that side of the city- if you know what neighborhoods to avoid (like most other big cities) you'll be OK. I loved Glasgow- it has a
