Putin’s Censored Press Conference: The meeting you weren’t supposed to see : "On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an hour and a half-long press conference which was attended by many members of the world media. The contents of that meeting---in which Putin answered all questions concerning nuclear proliferation, human rights, Kosovo, democracy and the present confrontation with the United States over missile defense in Europe---have been completely censored by the press. Apart from one brief excerpt which appeared in a Washington Post editorial, (and which was used to criticize Putin) the press conference has been scrubbed from the public record. It never happened."
Perhaps it was not intentional censorship. After all, what is happening with Paris Hilton and all the other celebs is so much more important than discussing a possible arms race, nuclear weapons, and the imperialism of the United States.
