Homeless World Cup

For the last three years, there has been a World Soccer/Football Cup for the Homeless people. The Russian team's name is "Road To Home", as is the Ukraine's. According to the New York Times (see the article), REN-TV, the Russian broadcasting company, which has just changed ownership, dismissed the proposed coverage of St. Petersburg's team. The reason for dismissal, according to the Russian correspondent (no longer working at the station) was that "there were no homeless people in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is rich, it is the city of the president." All this with a well-documented coverage of the games, photo- and video documents. Denial of reality again becomes fashionable. Russia has truly become a world power. He who owns mass media can bend reality to his will.
As Stalin used to say:"Life has become better, life has become merrier".
