Time magazine artticle

What a steaming pile! I don't want to go after each  and every paragraph, but if you really don't like the country you're writing about, next time just write "Russia Sucks" and save everybody time to go through the usual crap. Or even better, look around the world and youmight realize that all the countries around the world act similarly when faced with danger of terrorism. Journalists (and politicians) are incredibly good at picking the facts that  fit in their model of thinking and are very dismissive about every fact that doesn't correspond to it, no matter how abundant it might be. This starts in early school and every year that goes by only confirms their belief that only Western civilisation is always right and the Russians ( Chinese, Arabs, Muslims, Indians - take your pick) are always wrong. I wish it was really that simple.
