This is from a blog written, apparently, by some guy in Russia named Stanislav Mishin. He has as much right as the next fellow to string together his views and post them on the 'net.

Pravda, a modern, tabloidy version of the old Communist organ (which was rather well known for its diatribes about the crumbling west) picked it up.

It’s understandable that Mishin's musings would delight the Apocalypse Now crowd. But what about it would bear “reporting” by the MSM or any other actual news outlet????

Just to argue one point, Mr. Mishin seems to view it as a crime against humanity that the government would suggest that GM needed a new CEO. Someone needs to explain to him that that happened as a result of negotiations in which the government agreed to be lender of last resort. Anyone with even a smidge of capitalist blood in his veins knows that he who supplies the money gets to call the shots, CEO-wise. You may not like the GM deal -- I don't, particularly -- and you may think Rick Wagoner was doing a bang-up job. But to say the government was abusing its power to demand a replacement once it had agreed to financially prop up the enterprise is nonsense.

the Government telling a private albeit a Government funded company who they have to fire.. Ok.. I guess that's all well and good until it's your job they come for..

Government HAS NO BUSINESS IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY PERIOD..

and btw.. The National Enquirer has less than a sterling reputation..but they have hit 2 out of the park with the John Edwards and Tiger Woods stories.. So Pravda is not the old Communist paper.. Like The Enquirer they still had it right..
