I remember two Russian journalists being killed by a mortar shell in Ukraine not too long ago, and the Russians here screaming bloody murder.
Both Putin and the BBC are execrable, so I’m not sure who to root for, in this report. I guess neither.

Commies bullies beating up Commie propaganda ministry apparatchiks - This is RICH
So if propagandists are beaten up, is that a bad thing?
They sometimes call themselves the BBC, judging by their wheedling, craven, leftist broadcasts.
Help me with your logic here: so these craven, leftist journos were attempting to investigate a story that is unfavorable to a craven, leftist regime—and got beaten up by some craven leftists?
Logic?
You need help reading and writing, John-John.
But let us know who you end up feeling warmest toward of the alphabet organizations: KGB, BBC, NPR, MISIRI, PLO, SDS, et al.
We’ll leave aside the ABA and LSAT, of course, in deference to your understandable sensitivities.
Thank you, Mr. Non Sequitur. Your papers prove you are who you say you are.
Russian freedom Putie style.
