Most coherent Russian apologist.

The problem is that the more you ask the police or government to decide what the media publishes the less of a free press you have. That's why other mechanisms are better - like publicly funded news that keeps the others honest, or strong media unions that stop companies firing all their staff and employing interns to just rewrite trash.

This shows how dangerously polluted the media food chain is. A rag like the Daily Mail picks up some Russian lie and the other cheapskate papers run with it. Even Reuters, who are supposed to do their own work.
Shows how for all its faults the BBC still has a useful role.
