(Oh, and there’s also one English-language forum…)

The only problem with “English Moldova” is that the useful input is from Marisha, the webmistress. Apart from that there are about half a dozen useless contributors who seem to be middle aged men from Western countries, who love mentioning how Muslims are evil, but try to hide their obsession with Moldovan girls…

At the moment i am in Tiraspol (made a stop on my way from the Ukraine to Moldova), and in the capital the water is out of the streets. I notished that all the dirt is allready removed from the streets and basicly everything is back to normal. But of course, all the owners of damaged houses have still to overcome a lot of trouble. Hm, i never realized that it’s not easy to type letters in latin script on a russian computer!
Greetings from Pridnestrovie, Ron.

Bias is one thing, outright lies are something completely different.
Doug, while it is clear that you don’t like the pro-Transdniester bias of The Tiraspol Times, where do they lie?

Please back up your claim that Tiraspol Times “will sometimes just outright lie” with concrete examples and weblinks to these outright lies published by them.

Maybe you have The Tiraspol Times confused with The New York Times…

@ Douglas

I am sorry that I was not clear enough in my description of the reason why the Tiraspol Times does not publish.

The key word is Interpol. If a state is a member of Interpol, they can put an offender of their laws on the Interpol list of wanted persons. That person than can be arrested through Interpol in any other Interpol-member state, even if the things that that person is accused of, is not seen as a violation in the member state in which he is arrested.

In the case of Geert Wilders this mend, that he is accused in Jordan of an offence, that in many non-Muslim countries is considered to be just a case of freedom of opinion. Nevertheless when Jordan should make a request for his arrest through Interpol, he could be also arrested in those countries, and been hand over to the Jordan authorities.

Reed http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/3512 (the word Interpol has left out in the English translation but can be found in the Dutch part.)

The journalists of the Tiraspol Times claim to face the same situation as Geert Wilders is doing. If they will proceed with their pro-Pridnestrovian propaganda, there is a change that they be arrested, even when they are not in Moldova.

It is still a joke cry foul at some local blogs with an ideological bend (as they all have their own) and make yourself a mouthpiece for the CIA conspiracy theories.

If there’s one truly “Soviet”, concrete-head propaganda outlet here it’s Radio CIA Europe.
