First, story is on RT, and it is balanced.
'Mother of 7' arrested in Russia on high treason charges ? RT Russian politicsThe case has been widely discussed on Russian social media, with many blaming the authorities for detaining a mother of seven. Davydova has three natural children. The other four children are from her husband and Svetlana's' sister, who was previously married to the same man. They live all together, a source within the social department of Smolensk told Interfax.
Second, Litvinyenko is old news, it's dug up just to have a pop at Russia. More effort has been put into this case than David Kelly. Litvinyenko was wheeling and dealing, he had other enemies.
Third. Evgeny Lebedev, the owner of the Evening Standard, in anti Putin and spends a fortune on the issue. He talks a lot of crap and misinformation about Russia.
Fourth, the Pussy Riot fiasco, interviewed by the BBC reporter jenny Murry: "It must be dangerous living in Russian, the government kills Journalists who speak out… don’t' they." Pussy R: " umm ""A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

BBC and RT are both governed by the same OFCOM regulations...Originally posted by Paddy View Post
19.3.1
Ofcom has certain powers to regulate the BBC's licence fee funded television and radio services aimed at audiences in the UK, but not the World Service which is grant-in-aid funded. Ofcom's Broadcasting Code applies in the following areas:
Protection of under-18s
Harm and Offence
Avoidance of inciting crime or disorder
Responsible approach to religious content
Prohibition of use of images of very brief duration
Fairness
Privacy.
The Editorial Guidelines reflect the provisions of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code in these areas.
19.3.2
In addition, the BBC's commercial services (whether broadcasting to the UK, or from the UK to our international audiences) must comply with the whole of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code.
19.3.3
Where Ofcom finds a breach of the privacy or fairness sections of its Code, it may require the BBC to broadcast a statement of its findings. Where Ofcom considers that the Code has been breached "seriously, deliberately, repeatedly, or recklessly", it can impose sanctions, which range from a requirement to broadcast a correction or statement of finding to a fine of no more than £250,000.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Interesting attitude "he asked for it" and "it is old news" Sound like a typical "self loathing" leftie who wants to admonish everyone else from doing anything wrong whilst criticising our own country.Originally posted by Paddy View PostLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

“We look forward to Ofcom applying today’s ruling impartially to all broadcasters reporting on any government, irrespective of its political leaning.
“Broadcasters under UK jurisdiction do not always reflect the viewpoint of governments perceived as politically opposed to European and/or US political establishments.
“This ruling means that this will have to change, at least for those broadcasters regulated by Ofcom, if double standards are to be avoided. We shall continue to abide by the requirements of Ofcom in all RT broadcasts.”
So are Fox news, CNN, BBC regulated by Ofcom? I also look forward to this being applied to their broadcasts as well.
I quite like their response to the Guardian's RT bashing as well.
It amuses me to see all these Western politicains and mainstream media outlets freaking out that Russia is "winning the information war" and trying to paint it as aggressive propaganda...
Like it's nothing to do with the actual information itself...
How about we stop invading and bombing other countries, engineering coups to overthrow elected leaders (and replace with puppets) and lying through our teeth (Iraq WMDs anyone?) expecting everyone to just drink the cool aid and buy the latest fear campaign to sell us on the latest boogeyman they need to attack next...
