With all the capitulation by media organizations... we wait

For the first one of them to accidentally fall down 12 flights of stairs in a basement, or accidentally fall from a 6th story window
If these media organizations think they can placate him, all I can say is enjoy the trip

They all helped Putin steal the Kremlin.

They thought they owned him and would become vastly rich with him as their puppet.

Once in office, Putin put the hammer down, controlled them and demanded a cut of all their profits.
Anyone who talked back had an accident involving a window in a tall building.

They created a Frankenstein who turned on them.

I wonder if American corporations and billionaires have learned anything yet?
They cannot placate him in the long run.
