The party is our opponent!

The usual protocol report in the Vesti program “Russia” forced to distract from all other affairs for a minute and listen to the words sounding from the next high rostrum.

The party of power spent the media forum last Friday. And these words quoted by the main information program of the main state television channel, law, cost.

Now quotes. From the speaker and from those very state media (the broadcast of the Russia TV channel and the site of the VGTRK site

who, with the help of "United Russia" and learned that day to provide their own "mediaocracy".

“The United Russia party expects that the media will take the place of serious and worthy opponents of the authorities!” - This is the speaker from the high rostrum co -chair of United Russia Sergey Kuzhegetovich Shoigu.

“The head of the Ministry of Emergencies was abandoned for the role of the“ curator ”of the All -Russian media forum, which

Spends in the suburbs ”is a quote from the site. And further: “Communicating with representatives of more than 200 regional media, Shoigu admitted that United Russia, as it turned out,“ did not have serious and worthy opponents on the political field. ”

“Not an opposition, but opponents are always needed, and we hope that the media will become such opponents” - this is again the main rescuer of Russia, this time abandoned in the emergency situation with a free press.

With the press, with her always a continuous utility. No matter how much it feeds, how many officials ... I'm sorry, do not take party money in the suburbs from all over the country, everything strives to blurt out some muck about the leading and guiding ... Oh, something is wrong again. The association from another time, when the party seal seems to be not only a collective propagandist, but also a collective organizer ...

So this time, in the situation of the adjusted transition of the party press, a Cossack was found into the ranks of the opponents of their own party, sent from another political field.

Again quote from the site:

“Sergei Shoigu sharply rejected the assumption of one of the forum participants, who, asking a question from the audience, suggested that“ United Russia ”, perhaps,“ cleaned the political field ”itself.

The word "possibly" is lovely in this dry reporting context. The answer is no less lovely:

“Who did we clean? - he asked (that is, the main rescuer of Russia). “Everyone is alive and well.”

Based on the usual parameters for the head of the Ministry of Emergencies, they are really alive. In general, from under the rubble of independent and free Russian press, to varying degrees, the liveliness managed to get out of Parfenov, and Shuster, and Shenderovich, and Sorokina, and Khryuna with Stepan, and others like them.

Some also found a place in the print and radio system! Someone even on the air of federal television channels is allowed: to shoot documentary projects in a “draw” to work as a recognizable person. And what about the main professional component in any way is already in the reports and reports of the Main Ministry of Salvation does not fit.

The client is breathing, then, alive. For corpses of this department, a different form of reporting is apparently provided. And in the reporting of the Ministry of Emergencies, the decaying corpses of the once free media that fell in an unequal battle of economic entities and replacing the owners do not fit. Is there such a name "Moscow News"? There is, since it is still sold, and the buyer for this product is everything and is located. And the name "NTV" in all television programs is listed - therefore, the channel is alive. And that the soul from his endless current “sincere confessions” or “prepaid terrorists” is stinking, it is already a different department!

Calling the press to get into the slender ranks of the opponents of the party in power, it agreed to bird flu. With the press, presumably, the issue was resolved.

Ironically on the same Friday, when United Russia called on its press “worthy” to be opposed to herself, the organization “Reporters without borders” published a 2005 report on the situation with the freedom of the press in the world. Russia in this list from 167 countries took 138th place, between Iraq and the Philippines.

Which, in fact, can be recognized by success at once for two reasons. Firstly, Russia was still not the last in this list. While there is North Korea, Eritrea and Turkmenistan, the honorable last place does not shine for us. And secondly, in the past 2004, Russia took 140 place in the rating of “reporters without borders”. Two points up is an impressive increase in the freedom of our media! Another 60-70 years, and you can enter the top ten leaders. That's just a pity at this time the beautiful ...

The even more bitter irony of fate was that at the very time, when Sergey Kuzhegetovich climbed the rostrum of the Media Forewoman near Moscow, in the building of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences, farewell to Alexander Nikolayevich Yakovlev took place. That's who could in the mid-80s, according to his then government and state status, to collect the media and call them in friendly rows to get into the ranks of opponents-“not oppositions, but opponents”-parties. And they would stand up. And bowed into the legs! And for a breakthrough to freedom, to the light, such a call of the main ideologist of the party would be considered.

But, being the main ideologist of the only party at that time, Alexander Yakovlev for some reason did not call the press in opponents. Just took and gave her freedom. And the press, and all of us. What all speakers spoke about in a mourning panchid, except for some chief of the department of the presidential administration (excuse me, did not remember the name of this clerk), awarded the great honor to represent the current power in parting with a person who determined the era.

What the press itself and those who now invite it to opponents have done with this granted freedom, another question. The question is not to the one with whom they said goodbye on Friday, but to those who remain to live. And rapidly forgetting about the tragic seventy -year experience of communication between the press with the party in power, today it again easily gets into the ranks of the rows carefully built by it. Even if these rows are called rows of opponents. Bye.
