it would have been normal back in the days of the Cold War, to have news articles hidden from the populace... in the USSR
Tjernobyl? that was a minor event in Russian state Media

aparantly the media corporations are pretty much doing similar things as the Kremlin did , hiding certain nasty stories from the public



come to think of it , i guess the Russian civilians also got shielded from nasty stories from Afghanistan , back when they had tanks ,choppers and men in that ****hole

history repeating?

EDIT aparently it would only be the cover
but still i find it strange that you guys need special treatment
it is somewhat covering it up, a cover has a strong impact
and for some reason , this one , is to hot for the american public to handle, or at least that's how the chief editor sees it, or perhaps his bosses?
