Headliner Does Propaganda for Vladimir Putin

The headliner wrote this: Putin will be long-serving, powerful premier. Whether a Yahoo! headline editor/writer or one working for Reuters wrote the above headline I do not know.

What I do know is that the first sentence in the piece says that Vladimir Putin "said" that he "intended" to be a "powerful and long-serving premier."

The headline asserts what Putin predicts about himself. Who needs Reuters or Yahoo!? Just read RIA Novosti or Pravda about Russian affairs. You'll get a similar result to the above Jedi mind-tricked headline.
