I don't blame Putin every time something goes wrong. There's plenty I've posted about in this forum that never mentions Putin. Thanks for confirming your pathetic unfamiliarity with basic logic.
Don't be late for your next Young Pioneers meeting.
CNBS took 20 minutes to report the plane shot down

Well this certainly explains a lot! LOL
Russia Today Anchor Resigns, Admits To Spreading 'Lies' For Putin
By Catherine Taibi

"Another Russia Today anchor has resigned from her post at the Kremlin-funded TV network."
Sara Firth @Sara__Firth
"I resigned from RT today. I have huge respect for many in the team, but I'm for the truth.
5:53 AM - 18 Jul 2014
"Corespondent Sara Firth's announcement came nearly two hours after she stated on Twitter that RT anchors "do work for Putin" and spread "lies," in a conversation with RT London correspondent Polly Boiko. Firth alleged that the network asks its anchors to "obscure the truth," and now she is saying she's had enough. "

We all know your "truth" Sara
One has to wonder why young, well educated people, like Sara, even stay in Russia, a country of incest loving, booze addled mafiosos.
Well, the previous one still hasn't found a new job.. and the one before stayed with RT despite the beef she had with them.
"Rush Limbaugh couldn't help himself on Thursday after news broke that a Malaysian Airlines jet had crashed in eastern Ukraine.
"The radio show host called the disaster "an opportunity" for media outlets to distract viewers from the controversy surrounding President Obama and US border security. He suspected that CNN had already swept the immigration crisis under the rug and retreated back to its "wall-to-wall" coverage of the plane.
"Limbaugh called the whole thing "very eery."
"Talk about an opportunity to abandon the bad Obama news at the border," he said. "I'm not suggesting anything other than how the media operates."
There are many things here that don't make sense. Why were commercial planes flying over a combat area, one in which large transports had been shot down recently?
With all the sophisticated spy gear NSA and CIA have at their disposal, it seems to me they must know exactly where the missile came from. This is not some shoulder fired stinger. It is the size of a telephone pole or larger and leaves a big signature. They also had to use radar to target the plane. Monitoring must have picked up the radar signal and be able to triangulate it. Yet no one seems to know who fired it. Curious.
You don't just flip the safety off and fire one of these units. There are security codes etc that have to entered, plus they are complex to operate. The claim that the insurgents may have used a missile battery they seized from Ukranian forces seems unlikely. They would have lacked the necessary code, unless the Russians got it for them from the manufacturer. Likewise, it seems hard to believe that the Russians would have transferred to insurgents a complex air defence system capable of knocking down a big plane at 30,000 feet. Shoulder fired units, yes, but something of that complexity? Seems unlikely.
The two most likely scenarios are that the insurgents somehow did manage to use a captured system, perhpas with the assistance of Russian military personnel, or that the Ukrainian military shot down what they thought was a Russian plane. I don't see that there is whole lot we can or should do. After all, the U. S. Navy shot down an Iranian airliner flying to Dubai.

Haha , go to the Fox website and watch Hannity and McCain.
McCain accused Putin , said there will be ''Hell to Pay'' as if he were President already.
Whether she does it herself or not, I imagine her image/profile will appear on a few "Russian brides" websites soon..
