I regularly use The Motley Fool CAPS Screener to come up with ideas for investments. Recently I ran a screen asking for at least a 2% yield, 10% EPS growth, and at least a 4 star rating on CAPS.

One is a Russian media outlet, the other is an Irish company that handles media and multiple other businesses. The question is, which one is the better buy today?
