Is that News report half full or half empty?

Article from the NYT posted on justwatch-l:

MOSCOW, April 21 -- At their first meeting with journalists since taking over
Russia's largest independent radio news network, the managers had startling
news of their own: from now on, they said, at least 50 percent of the reports
about Russia must be "positive."



* And in other news from Russia, former President Boris Yeltsin had died.
(I realize that was a bit random; but since this topic does deal with Russia, I'd include the news on this post).

ETA: Holbrooke says it isn't so.
