Russian lawmakers have compiled a list of five U.S.-based media outlets to restrict, after the United States registered Russia's state-funded Russia Today television station as a foreign agent. Those reportedly on the list include: CNN, Voice of America and Radio Liberty. Other possibilities include: Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. The U.S. Senate has proposed in the past cutting all Russia state-tied media out of the U.S. market. If Russia considerably restricts U.S. media in the country, it would severely limit the quality of information accessible to the Russian public, which could have significant political consequences. What do you think? Was the United States justified in reclassifying Russia Today? If so, is it worth losing the Russian media market over?
