The difference is that when a FReeper posts from MSNBC they don’t parrot what’s been said on MSNBC. In this particular case what was said on RIA Novosti was echoed by the OP.

I've stated it before, just don't remember if to you--it's amusing: if someone observes that Russia Today is state-owned and controlled, the "excuse" comes back, "but what about MSNBC?"

But if someone observes that MSNBC parrots the party line, you never see anyone excusing it by exclaiming, "but what about Russia Today?"
