Подводя итоги вечных споров, что в США нет позитивной информации о России:
Как показывают результаты исследования, в американской прессе положительных публикаций о России 17 процентов, критических - 15 процентов. Для СМИ Великобритании эти показатели составляют 17 процентов и 10 процентов соответственно.
Непонятные цифры какие-то. А остальные ~70 процентов - это что? По моему разумению, не может газетная публикация быть нейтральной. Даже если это о животных, или о балете.

Например, (правда статья трехлетней давности):
глава международного комитета сената США Ричард Лугар посетил Ливию. Сенатор пообещал ливийскому лидеру Муамару Каддафи, что Вашингтон поможет Триполи избавиться от международных санкций. В ответ полковник Каддафи пригласил президента США Джорджа Буша и госсекретаря Кондолизу Райс в гости.
С тех пор Триполи посетили премьер Великобритании Тони Блэр, канцлер ФРГ Герхард Шредер, президент Франции Жак Ширак, премьеры Канады Пол Мартин и Италии Сильвио Берлускони.
А вот посвежей:
Президент Франции Николя Саркози посетил Ливию, где провел переговоры с ливийским лидером Муамаром Каддафи. Целью визита, как заявил накануне сам Саркози, является «помочь Ливии вернуться в мировое сообщество», сообщает «Интерфакс».

Помилуйте! Какой-такой "людоед Назарбаев"? Или и правда имеет место быть "тотальный когнитивный диссонас с полной блокадой лобной части мозга"?
VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: Well, thank you very much, Mr. President. On behalf of the delegation, I want to thank you for receiving us today. I think all Americans are tremendously impressed with the progress that you've made in Kazakhstan in the last 15 years. Kazakhstan has become a good friend and strategic partner of the United States in -- we appreciate very much the work you've done in Afghanistan and Iraq and the work that we're doing -- and cooperating with us in the global war on terror.
Obviously, the enormous resources that you've got here in Kazakhstan are being developed to benefit those of us in the global economy. Americans are glad to be able to participate in this.
On a personal note, I'm delighted to have the opportunity to spend some time with you here in Astana. We met 10 years ago, when I was in private life, and it's a pleasure to renew our friendship.
Asked afterward his opinion of democracy in Kazakhstan, the vice president endorsed the Nazarbayev government without qualification. "I have previously expressed my admiration for what has transpired here in Kazakhstan over the past 15 years," he said, "both in terms of economic development as well as political development."

Ну значит ошибся я, Каддаффи раскаялся и вернулса в лоно цивилизации. Мои персональные извинения Вадузу и Путину

TRIPOLI (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Libya on Wednesday for a 24-hour visit expected to be dominated by talks over energy contracts and arms sales.
Putin was immediately taken to Bab Azizia Palace, a sprawling complex where Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi usually pitches his tent when in Tripoli.
Putin is visiting the country at Kadhafi's invitation -- one of the Russian leader's final formal trips before he steps down on May 7.
The trip is expected to include talks on Russian investment in Libyan gas and nuclear energy as Moscow seeks to boost ties with Libya, which is emerging from 20 years of diplomatic and economic isolation.
Putin and Kadhafi reviewed a guard of honour before entering the Libyan leader's tent for what the official news agency JANA called a "historic summit."
Arms sales to Tripoli and the clearing of Soviet-era debt may also be touched on during their talks, according to Russian government sources.
The visit comes as Russia is trying to coordinate policy with other gas producing states, notably Algeria, and is promoting plans for an organisation of gas producers similar to OPEC, of which Libya is a member.
Last week Russian energy giant Gazprom said it was in talks with Libya about working on joint gas projects there with Eni of Italy.
Gazprom was awarded three gas exploration blocks in the Ghadamess basin in December, among some of the first given to foreign energy firms.
Libya has natural gas reserves estimated at 1.314 trillion cubic metres (45.990 trillion cubic feet) and is the African continent's second largest oil producer at 1.7 million barrels per day.
In December, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks in Libya on a visit billed as offering support for Libya's burgeoning civil nuclear power sector.
Another major bilateral issue is the repayment of up to 3.5 billion dollars (2.2 billion euros) worth of Soviet-era debt to Moscow, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency reported, citing a finance ministry official.
And Russia hopes to sign a deal worth 2.5 billion dollars (1.6 billion euros) to sell air defence, aviation, naval and land-based weapons to Libya soon, Interfax news agency reported, citing an unnamed defence industry official.
Long a pariah state, Libya has gradually returned to the international fold after Kadhafi's December 2003 announcement that he was abandoning weapons of mass destruction programmes.
Putin is due to be replaced by hand-picked successor Dmitry Medvedev, who won a controversial election in March and says he will appoint Putin as a powerful prime minister.
His visit comes as Russia's neighbour Ukraine is also seeking ties with Libya, part of efforts to develop an energy policy independent of Moscow.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko visited Libya earlier this month and the Libyan leader is due to make a return visit later this year.

Он действительно был hand-picked.
Вам не нравятся что их назвали controversial потому что в России никто на выборы не жаловались? Ведь были controversies с наблюдателями?

MILAN (Thomson Financial) - Russian president Vladimir Putin said on Friday that OAO Gazprom hopes to gain access to Eni SpA's assets in Libya and other countries outside Italy.
'Eni has gained access to assets in Russia and Gazprom hopes to have the respective contribution in third countries, like for example Libya,' he said in joint press conference with incoming Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Eni chief executive Paolo Scaroni said on Thursday that Eni could swap assets with Gazprom in Libya, indicating the Elephant field.
The field is 50 percent-owned by Libya's national oil company while around two-thirds of the remaining 50 percent is owned by Eni.
According to the Italian daily MF, Gazprom could be given about half of Eni's shareholding in Elephant.
Before arriving in Italy, Vladimir Putin struck a number of deals in Libya. Russia's president agreed to write off Libya's debt in exchange for military and civilian contracts awarded to Russian companies.
The debt totals 2.8 billion euros, and much of the money is owed for arms supplied during the Soviet era. Libya earned more than 25 billion euros from its gas and oil industries last year.
In the past two years, the Russian firms Tatneft and Gazprom have won exploration permits. Gazprom president Alexei Miller says Libya is increasingly attractive. "According to geological surveys, there could be double the resources we expected. Hence our great interest in the country. It looks like Libya could become an even more important player in the gas market."
Ten business and political agreements were signed during Putin's visit. A further deal to modernise weaponry is due to be concluded in the coming days.
Gazprom chief says focused on upstream in Libya Wed Apr 16, 2008 2:44pm EDT TRIPOLI, April 16 (Reuters) - Russian gas monopoly Gazprom's (GAZP.MM: Quote, Profile, Research) priority in Libya is exploration and production but it also wants to develop opportunities in infrastructure including pipelines, the company's head said on Wednesday.
Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller, speaking to reporters on a visit to Libya with Russian President Vladimir Putin, added that Gazprom had a "big interest" in taking part in a project to double gas export capacity along a pipeline across the Mediterranean to Italy.
"Gazprom's priority is geological research and extraction of oil and gas. Participation in infrastructure projects is secondary," Miller said.
In 2006, Gazprom obtained an upstream foothold in the north Africa OPEC member country when it acquired four offshore exploration licences in Libya. In December 2007 the company acquired another three licences in the country.
A source in the company said earlier this month that Gazprom was considering energy assets in Libya as part of a swap deal with Italy's Eni (ENI.MI: Quote, Profile, Research).
Eni and Gazprom formed a strategic partnership in 2006, to focus on both upstream and downstream in the oil and gas sectors. The exchange of assets is part of the agreement.
Eni recently agreed to double the capacity of a pipeline carrying up to 8 billion cubic metres a year of Libyan gas across the Mediterranean to Italy, taking annual volumes eventually to 16 billion cubic metres.
The gas is exported from a processing facility at Mellitah, on the Libyan coast, via the Greenstream underwater gas pipeline to southeastern Sicily.
After that, the gas flows to the Italian mainland, and then onward to the rest of Europe.
Miller said he expected that the planned expansion would involve construction of a second pipeline that would eventually see total capacity rise to 20 billion cubic metres. He added without elaborating that Gazprom hoped to get "new capacity" as a result of its asset swap with ENI.
There was no immediate comment from Libya's National Oil Corp (NOC), the state conglomerate in charge of all aspects of the country's energy sector.
Gazprom has faced growing questions about the sustainability of gas supply from central Asia and has begun to extend its search for new reserves outside the region.
Miller added that Gazprom was interested in cooperating with Libya's state investment portfolio in Africa as a means to further its involvement in the north of the continent. (Reporting by Oleg Shchedrov, Writing by William Maclean, editing by Jim Marshall)
