What The Media Didn’t Report: Russians Refused To Shake Obama’s Hand
Correction: As it turns out, while the video below certainly makes it seem very clear that Obama is getting snubbed, what’s actually happening is he’s introducing people to the Russian President. No snub. Just an odd-looking video seen out of context. My bad.
In the last news cycle there were a lot of stories written about Obama’s visit to Russia. But one story that didn’t appear anywhere in the American media (that I saw) was about the Russian leaders refusing to shake Obama’s hand.
Here’s video:
You’d think a clear and intentional snub like that might have been, you know, important information the American public deserves to be aware of. Because it was clearly intentional, and Obama was obviously surprised and upset by the move.
And yet, not one story in the American media.
If this had been Bush you can bet it would have been news.
