Stone is the director of the upcoming Showtime series "The Putin Interviews," compromised of a series of interviews Stone conducted with Putin over a span of two years. The show has already been criticized for taking Putin's assertions at face value and excusing Russian aggression.

Very little in the media can be taken at face value.
Almost everything that is published should be taken as
just one piece of a larger conversation.
