Did you bother to read the article?
Take this, for example:
<<When Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once the richest man in Russia, used his
oil wealth to promote human rights and democracy, Putin detected a
threat to his throne.>>
Don't take me wrong, I am not sup****tive of selective prosecution of
thieves based on their political alliances, but since when using
personal wealth to gain political power is "promotion of human rights
and democracy"?
This is what I call "sub-standard journalism", not "2x2=4".
