Russia has vowed to retaliate after the channels of its state media were apparently blocked on the popular Telegram social media platform in the EU. On Sunday the channels of Ria Novosti news agency, Rossiya 1, Pervyi Kanal and NTV television, and Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspapers were not accessible in several countries, including France, Belgium, Poland, Greece, the Netherlands and Italy… Moscow called the move “an act of censorship”. “The systematic cleansing of all undesirable sources of information from the information space continues,” foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, said.

Indignantly accusing an opponent of something that you do all the time, or on a much more massive scale is becoming more and more common in politics.

Nevertheless, Trump probably remains its leading exponent.

Yet one way or another, we all subscribe. The only alternative is to be totally uninformed. Political news is always agenda driven, whether its TV, radio, newspapers or social media. Even though more people are wise to that fact, evidenced by tumbling circulation numbers and rising numbers of TV tax defaulters, they will allow themselves to believe news that fits their personality agenda.
