State Controlled Media Declare Vladimir Putin a Life Saving Hero
Completely accurate reporting

'According to Russian media reports, Putin, taking a break from lambasting the West over Georgia, was visiting the Ussuriisky Nature Reserve in the far east of Russia to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild.

'Just as Putin was arriving with a group of wildlife specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran toward a nearby camera crew, the country's main television station said. Putin quickly shot the beast and sedated it with a tranquilizer gun.

'"Vladimir Putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television crew too," a presenter on Rossiya television said at the start of the main evening news.' [MSNBC]

Such bullshit, you don't down an attacking tiger with a tranquilizer gun. This is just the Putin playing politics.

The old commie PR machine may be rusty but it's still spitting out the propaganda. Right on comrade, right on. Putin is our man! If he can't kill and torture, no one can!
