To "O", who thinks RT runs no anti-Estonian propaganda -- here is a brief example of this non-existent propaganda. It is just a small representation of pages and pages of titles alone of similar articles that an RT search brings up. And this takes no account of pages-long lists of similar titles of anti-Latvian and anti-Lithuanian articles.

-- and so it goes, an almost endless supply of anti-Baltic vitriol, overwhelmingly based on nonsense distortions or outright lies, recapitulated throughout Russian media. For an analysis of the rationale underlying this remarkable phenomenon, visit the home page of Estonian Security Police, and go to "Annual Reviews".  In the 2010 Review read pages 8-14, and in the 2011 Review read pages 7-15.

Google search for all pages on rt.com ("site:rt.com") shows "About 4,030,000 results", search for Estonia on rt.com ("site:rt.com Estonia") shows "About 6,770 results". That is, Estonia is mentioned in less than 0.002 of RT's pages, including comments. You can relax, nobody on RT cares about Estonia enough to intentionally attack it...

> ... "ERR News - Estonian Public Broadcasting", and run a search filtered by "Russia".

Fir st, it's not a site with international news, so it's not comparable with RT. I can't see a single positive article about Russia because there are no articles about Russia at all, the search for "Russia" gives me only local Estonian news related to Russia, e.g.

I t's not a problem to find even pro-western (and pro-estonian) sites in Russia that have more visitors than your 'example', but I think you'll agree that it means nothing. Your example is not an example at all.

> Estonian media doesn't go out of its way to praise Russia (or Peru or Burkina Faso). But neither does it go out of its way to trash Russia, like Russia constantly does with Estonia and the Baltics.

Fear has magnifying eyes. I'm sure e.g. that RT's article "Three rare Amur leopards born in Tallinn Zoo" is an especially evil propaganda against Estonia.

"O" writes, "Funny to hear that from the Estonian propagandist on the Russian site who never said a single positive word about Russia."

My purpose is not to glorify Russia (or Peru or Burkina Faso, for that matter). My aim is to bring facts to bear onto Russia's anti-Estonian attack propaganda. Very often such facts are not complimentary to Russia, but that is not my fault. Facts relate to what has actually happened, and facts about Russia in the Baltics relate to what Russia did in the Baltics.

If Russian media didn't constantly issue attack propaganda against Estonia, I would have nothing to say about Russia at all. Just as I have nothing to say about Peru or Burkina Faso for the similar reason.

Howev er, as for positive words about Russia, I have on many occasions mentioned that I enjoy Russian music, theatre and literature, and that many Russian people are delightfully warm and spontaneous, and very pleasant company. Unfortunately the same is not true of Russian policy towards the Baltics.

"O" also asks, "How many positive articles about Russia can we find on Estonian sites?" See for yourself. If you speak Russian visit the Russian version site of Estonia's leading daily newspaper, "Postimees". Or if you don't, visit the English language site of "ERR News - Estonian Public Broadcasting", and run a search filtered by "Russia". Estonian media doesn't go out of its way to praise Russia (or Peru or Burkina Faso). But neither does it go out of its way to trash Russia, like Russia constantly does with Estonia and the Baltics.
