Another sign of rigging is that 2024 election results peaked at round figures, Shukshin wrote. This distribution of results looks like a saw on graphs, which led to the nickname “Putin’s saw.”

    (Assuming you’re American)

    Lots of Americans seem to think that state media is a bad thing. Lot’s of countries get it right. Especially after it’s first been implemented.
    I’d often rather have a government (obviously not Russia, China, or in my case Canada) over some oligarch controlling it. Murdoch hasn’t exactly been doing good things wherever he goes

      I am American and I have nothing wrong with some of a country’s media being state-run. The problem comes when it is all state-run. That is the issue in Russia. All the media they consume is an outlet of Putin’s government.
