BUT, It is not that much different in the USA. Obama owns the media in the USA. Not openly, but because the media in the USA are simply as corrupt as Obama. Also, when the people protest against Obama in the USA, which they do frequently, the US Media does not cover it or they say that only a few people were Protesting when their were many, and they call the protesters names and ridicule them. Very much like Putin did!
I disagree with that. Obama does own the "main stream media" which is now being called the "lame stream media" because of their obvious political slant. The Fox news channel did cover the tea parties. In my opinion there are fair sources for news:
The fox news channel is great and recently the White House were making bad comments about two OPINION shows.
Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. I like Glenn Becks show a lot.

The truth is out there and it's a shame the organizations that claim to be fair are anything but. I do not waste my time with any of these slanted organizations:
NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post.
Recently there was a piece on
http://www.foxnews.com about the biggest stories the lame stream media missed last year. I cannot find it but it is very interesting what was missed.
