European Tribune - Comments - The exile is back

The exile is back | 1 comment (1 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Well... I'm going to give them some time to regroup and get their act together. They've been through a lot in the last few weeks. So the fact that the new site is like, er, EnglishRussia, but with more commentary and no comments, is something I will defer my disappointment about.
Panama. Part of me hopes that's true. I mean, could be interesting. Suppose they won't be doing any more Moscow nightclub reviews.
Weirdly, despite their claim of switching from Russia-centric news to America-centric news (which would make more sense than Panamanian news, because I think America really is just on the verge of morphing into Russia circa 1998, and I'm not trying to be funny now. It's true.) they're still looking pretty darn Russia-centric to me.
The story about them being banned would be cooler if it were true. Maybe it is? I can't find any evidence of it. But that would be just like the Russian government, to do it all sneaky-like spy-style and leave no tracks, frame the fleeing investors for their nefarious behavior. Still, fleeing investors is not as interesting as being banned.

I was so ready to be wrong about all of this. I love the eXile! I want to be wrong! sniff...

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
