This video is fake. How do I know that this Russian guy is telling me the truth? This is all scripted. I don't speak Russian and I don't care to.

Russian state press organ Russia Today website published in 2008 an article of Russian historian Boris Borisov about the condemnation of the Holodomor by the U.S. House of Representatives. In the text, Bosisov argues that the United States has no morals to criticize Russia or support Ukrainian claims, since the Holodomor, according to him, was just as destructive as the Great Depression in the US in the same post-1929 era, and comparing the policies of presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt with the policies of Stalin and the New Deal Public Works Administration with the Communist Gulag.[33]

You have an excellent point. I work for a newspaper and we just took heat for reprinting a sheriff's suicide over "internal politics." He left a suicide note stating why he shot himself and even recoded his own time of death and location like a police report. It showed very clearly how depersonalized he had become.

Trust me, newspeople report what they want, when they want, and if it is fake, so what. The last paper I worked for faked so many quotes and stories that all of the local public agencies faked information in return, even giving them bogus press releases (which were printed verbatim since the paper didn't practice fact verification). Believe me, the only way they would report on botched abortions and other grim details is if it suits the religious twist of an editor or if an employee is serving on the board of charity concerned with that particular cause.
