Anyone who is watching Russian Television, RT, these evenings must grow tired of the crass propaganda that is peddled.
Maybe on the first evening it is amusing, even fun but then slowly but surely it becomes shocking, obscene. Lie after lie being told.
That's not to say that the Crimea case is not complicated. And as former UK ambassador to Russia, Sir Ivor Roberts, has argued, Crimea will never return to full Ukrainian sovereignty. But the spin of RT is most annoying. The station paints a picture that everything that Russia is doing is correct and wholesome.
Anyone who paints such a picture is involved in the black art of propaganda. Anyone anywhere who says that everything is great and wonderful can never be telling the full truth.
Catholic Church websites? Of course an exaggerated comparison but one is forced to grow tired of so much of the so-called good news that is peddled on church websites. The reality is far from what it says on the tin.
