Interesting to see that Russia Today are going EXTREMELY light on the Litvinenko story. Even though it's now back at the top of the headlines on most channels around the world, Russia Today are waffling on about some summit in Iceland and online Litvinenko is mentioned at the BOTTOM of the website. I guess this clarifies claims that the station is state sponsored!
Actually the Litvinenko was the first headlines yesterday evening as it is this morning and I also saw a promo of a programme that said "is the Kremlin to blame?".
Even if the fact that the channel is state funded doesn't make it very trustworthy appearently it is not just a propaganda channel.
Anyway I like this channel's graphics, astons, music and very young presenters. I imagine they have sort of a limited budget but they're using it quite well.

Apparently all the Russian channels, including NTV - Russia's largest - started running the Litvinenko story after Putin commented on it. A very odd way of doing things. Things screams of pandering to the leadership. 'If our leader doesn't talk about it, we won't' WORRYING
I've been watching it on Sky Digital (both as "Russia Today" and the feed on "Information TV 2") and both feeds seem to break up every few seconds - It looks like the kind of picture you get watching Sky News on a mobile phone.

It's been around the Australian media a little that Putin's government has been centralising a lot of power, and buying up a lot of newspapers and TV stations. On of the TV stations known in Russia for good, independent, critical reporting has been bought by the government, and from the sounds of things is quite a bit less critical.
I'm pretty sure there have also been protests against all this centralisation of power.
