	What I gather from the article is that journalists in russia
	are fully corrupt, and the few who are not corrupt get fired.
	Which is what the author wants to convey anyway?

	So it turns out that journalism in russia is as corrupt as it
	is in any other country on the planet. Hardly surprising at all.
