Shocker: Russian RT founder and media oligarch was murdered

(Yesterday, I finally got sick of all the obvious propaganda coming out of RT as of late so I started investigating who owns it and if it had been sold off recently. I didn’t find anything substantial. But you can’t deny RT has been running an awful lot of anti-Russia/pro-Kurdish/pro-Turkish regime change propaganda these past few months. Just total bullshit, in my opinion. Turns out, there may actually be a reason for the editorial shift.)

After initially saying that Russian news network RT founder Mikhail Lesin’s death in a hotel room in Washington, DC last November 5, 2015, was due to an apparent heart attack. Now forensic evidence has been released by Washington’s chief medical examiner that indicates Lesin died as a result of blunt weapon injuries to the head. He also suffered injuries to other parts of his body.  This really makes you wonder about the US justice system.  How could they have hidden this information for so many months…and why?  It makes you wonder whether anything they report is true. The time that has elapsed taints all the evidence they might proffer…because they’ve had plenty of time to dispose of anything incriminating to anyone:

Four months after the death of former Russian press minister and prominent media figure Mikhail Lesin in a DC hotel, Washington’s chief medical examiner has revealed forensic data indicating that Lesin died of injuries to the head.
While initial reports following Lesin’s death in DC’s Dupont Hotel on November 5, 2015 indicated that a heart attack had been to blame, no conclusive official forensic data has been released until now.

A joint statement by the District of Colombia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) and Metropolitan Police Department said that the former minister’s death had been a violent one, as cited by RIA Novosti on Thursday.
“The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has released the cause and manner of death for Mikhail Lesin…Cause of Death: blunt force injuries of the head,” the statement said.
It added that “blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities and lower extremities” contributed to the 57-year-old’s death.
Nevertheless, the manner of death was still classified as “undetermined” in the official release.
Lesin’s death is being actively investigated, OCME spokeswoman LaShon Beamon has said.
Meanwhile, Moscow said it is now expecting Washington to explain why Russia has not received any details from the probe into Lesin’s death, despite repeated requests.

In spite of the fact that everyone knows that Mr. Lesin was a close personal friend of Vladimir Putin…the JM$M rumour mill is already working overtime in its usual…and by now very boring… obsession with blaming Putin for everything.
