Russian ban on BBC a 'swipe at UK'By Caroline Gammell Last Updated: 5:23pm BST 17/08/2007

Maybe the BBC was too left wing for the former Commies.
Now that's the funniest thing I've read all day!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is serious stuff.
Welcome to Cold War II.
Very possibly, and also far too corrupt even for Commies:
BBC admits fake winners on charity appeals (staffers posed as winning callers on air)
BBC BOSS TAKES A BITE (Director General of the BBC bit colleague on the arm 17 years ago)
BBC in row over doctored TV footage with Gordon Brown (....made him look like a thug)
BBC may be prosecuted for offering £40,000 to 'child-smugglers' (story faked)
Craven at the BBC (Islam treated with fawning reverence, Christianity with near-disdain)
Just a little peeing contest between commies. Nothing to see here.
Former? When did the "epiphany" take place. News to me.
The BBC is just as bad as PBS.
I would ban both of them as long as their receiving taxpayer money.
“Former? When did the “epiphany” take place. News to me.”
Yes, they are not the communist anymore. They are the new Mafia.
Did you know that Moscow is the most expensive city in the world, and that many of the worlds richest crooks live there.
Media blackout in Chechnya.
Assassination of people that speak out.
Punitive taxes and intimidation of journalists.
Flat out censorship.......
Look at who’s in power, look at how they conduct business, what their goals and aspirations are, who owns near all critical infrastructure, freedom of information and press, foreign investments and who they align themselves with internationally, what their policies are...... nothing has really changed.
