BBC's FM broadcasts knocked off the air in Russia
2007-08-20
Tom Gross, National Review

From the Associated Press:

The BBC has said that its Russian-language FM broadcasts have been taken off the air by its Moscow distributor, which said its programs were "foreign propaganda."

The decision by Bolshoye Radio leaves the BBC's Russian-language services available only on medium and shortwave broadcasts, the BBC said in a press release.

So it is Putin vs. the BBC. Talk about a battle of the propagandists.
Who do I root for? The bad guys or the bad guys?

#2  It's rather than russia is busy redefining the West as its ennemy (that's why many euros who see the "West" as the ennemy have more than a fondness for putput and his nationalist, anti-US russia, that is true both for some rightwingers and some leftists).
