While independent media was defanged, TV talk shows multiplied to beam the state-sanctioned version of reality into living rooms. Alternative viewpoints are hard to find. Many Russians call their TV set the “zombiebox”. Has it won the battle of narratives?

I speak a little Russian, but not nearly enough to understand these talkshows. Luckily there are enough channels which translate them. I find them fascinating - like a cross between car-crash reality shows, stand up comedy, and the worst horror film you can ever imagine starring Solovlyov and Simonyam. What I find really interesting is that often they have one person who expresses an alternative view, and they are always attacked/ridiculed/shut down. Almost like they're trying to teach their audience how to deal with people who don't regurgitate the official line.

It's not Russian citizens i dislike. It's their leadership/government I take issue against. The common people of Russia are great.

A wholly untrustworthy, propaganda based, state media channel, presenting a programme about a wholly untrustworthy, propaganda based state media channel. You couldn't make it up.

The whole world knows Russian media is state controlled. BBC is telling pure truth here. If you doubt that, show us that Russian media allows opposing viewpoints.
