But even though I cant read Russian the article was dated yesterday and yet still no mention of it on BBC or Fox or wherever MSM lies today?

Ah. It's the story that's the thing then.
Not facts. Sorry, I misunderstood. I admit it. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to things like verifiable information in lieu of facts by number of youtube hits.

Seriously?
You've shown repeated disdain for this thread -- original coverage of the overwhelming flood of information, coming in via social media, regarding the instability and uncertainty surrounding Putin's absence.
Face it, Social Media, and in this case Twitter, has become "the people's" news wire. If you can't deal with that, then you may as well pull the plug and get off the Internet now. It's how information dispersal is evolving, for better or worse. The only way to be certain we can weigh in on the "for the better" side of that equation is through collaborative threads that analyze the firehose of data, like this one.
It's unfortunate you show such knee-jerk scorn for this thread, and the intentions of using Twitter as both an information source, and dissemination medium. But the story is the story. And if you're unable to adapt, please, don't spread your sour grapes for the rest of us to step on.
