  15. Firstly, why is it a treat for the BBC to have thirteen minutes of it's Moscow correspondent's time? They pay him a good salary to hear from him! And then, it is actually funny, it's laughable to hear Mr Rosenberg besmirching the Russian media for their state-leaning bias, from his position in the British establishment's premier mouthpiece. When did we last hear anything at the BBC that challenges the stock Western narrative {now sent spinning by its prominent component part, yet desperately clung-to by the deflated European page-boys}? Lucy Hockings assures us that the only word on casualty figures we have comes from Ukraine, who tell us 'so much more'. Rather tellingly, she chooses not to avail the audience of those figures. There follows much description of the tell-tale signs of Russian loss of life - yet puzzlingly, nothing of those on the Ukrainian side, which we are assured, 'tell us so much more'? The Russian economy is portrayed yet again as being in dire straits. It actually grew faster than any Western economy last year. Ah but, we are told, the prices in Russia are rising. Do these people even do their own shopping/pay their own bills? Can't they see for themselves that things are not doing too well here at home? The economy that actually is imploding is that of Germany, the business model of which was blown up somewhere beneath the Baltic Sea - by half a dozen sub aqua divers having a lark. Honestly, if this is all the BBC can muster, with all of its £££billions of state-sponsored money, it is about time they got out of the game. This is baleful dross.
