About the patriarch and the news institution

Yesterday there was another embarrassment with the Patriarch. Well, if you're unlucky - either a Breguet or an execution instead of an institution... And it's all damned foreignness.

In general, he decided to speak on the topic of our most original... excuse me, the most fair judicial system and instead of one word he said another, completely indecent in that context. Although now you can’t tell. Maybe he wanted to say about the court not “execution”, but “constitution”, but at the last moment he was embarrassed - what a constitution we have! And if we talk about the Pussy Riot case, then the word “inquisition” is generally more appropriate.

However, no matter what our Holiness says, everything is from God. Execution means execution, they know better from above. True, in near-partisan circles they immediately declared that what the Patriarch allegedly said was “execution”, i.e. execution of a death sentence or corporal punishment is sheer journalistic insinuation and provocation, but in fact the Patriarch said “institution.”

Well, an institution is an institution, the word is also beautiful and foreign, but it’s not very suitable for defining the judicial system. The court is not an institution, it is the fundamental institution of any state. Although, if we talk about our court, maybe the Patriarch is right - so, the institution.

The story with RIA Novosti is much more interesting here. At first they wrote that the Patriarch said “execution,” and there are screenshots about this. Then the main page began to pop up from this link, and then the previous article returned, but with a different picture and with “institution” instead of “execution”. Truly wonderful are your works, O Lord! As a result, the people remain in holy ignorance.

What, there was no other news except RIA in the Nizhny Novgorod region? And there were no TV crews? Five hundred security personnel - and not a single video camera? And no TV reports! Or have demons demagnetized all the video and audio recordings?! It happens, at least read Gogol.

Although, if we proceed from the materialistic picture of the universe, there are only two options. Either the Patriarch really said about our execution court, which is quite consistent, or RIA and other news were mistaken. Well, we made a mistake and made a mistake, it happens, it’s okay, it’s not “shit commander” instead of “commander in chief”, apologize and forget.

But if the news reporters clearly heard the Patriarch say execution, and then, following orders from above (optionally, at the call of the soul), they decided to replace this word with a more euphonious one - that’s cool! Correcting already published news is even cooler than the Inquisition; it is in its purest form the Ministry of Truth from Orwell’s novel “1984,” where, if you remember, old news was rewritten for the ideological purity of the past. Not the new ones - we have long been accustomed to news lies, but the old ones. Do you want to say anything about this, colleagues?

However, what can I say? This is the kind of news institution we now have, excuse the expression. Although the word prostitution would probably be much more appropriate here.
