Lead story: Navalny, naturally. Described as ‘opposition leader’, naturally. His mum says she was “blackmailed” into agreeing to an unmarked grave. But she has seen the body - they are not hiding it. Not a hint of the other side of the story - not even so much as “We reached out to the Kremlin who have so far declined to comment”. Nothing. What could be more pure propaganda than tittle-tattle from one side with nothing at all from the other side? This is the lead story!
Second story: Bla,bla, speaker, outrage, holds on to his job, bla,bla. But what actually happened? What are the facts? This is pure tabloid trash - not even bothering to give a primer on what actually happened in the HOC last night (I still don’t know) but just jumping in and talking personalities, conflict at the court of St. James.
At this point, I realized the actual information content was not even thin gruel, it was literally non-existent! And walked out for the sake of my sanity.
