Putin, Gays and Russia

RT is Russian Television in English with a decidedly Moscow tilt, a sort of Russian Fox News Service.  One reason Russian authorities give for suppressing gay Freedom of Speech is Russian contention that the "freedom" is funded by Western intelligence agencies.  That would not be surprising, but this very exchange, in which a fellow is allowed to crash one topic to trash RT and Russian politics, in which he insists he is not free to say what he just happens to be freely saying, is remarkable for the fellow's assertions.  If you listen closely, he sounds like he is reciting CIA agitprop.  Maybe just an unfortunate coincidence, but not a creditable performance.
