USA Today has a decently balanced assessment of the incident. Apparently Russia Today was "informed" of that. However the deputy prime minister has countered that by stating that "Russia does not have the capability to shoot down meteors." http://rt.com/news/meteorite-crash-urals-chelyabinsk-283/ Russia Today claims that it was printed in the local paper.

Russia Today also describes the Tungaska meteor as "one of the most mysterious events in history" and suggests it was caused by space aliens [1].
