And there was that whole "20 million dead during the war" bit. I'd think they'd want to play it safe!

(Edit: I guess that by "they" I mean "Putin and company" -- they have a lot of popular support, but it's hard to say how much is real and how much is self-seeking or the like.)

You said it was the most blatant display. Ignoring two major presidencies that were blatantly corrupt. Hell the Bush Jr. admin ran a private email server and deleted 5 million~ emails about the Iraq War.

You don't understand the 1st amendment bro. The 1st amendment only stops the US Government from censoring speech. Private companies can do whatever they want.
