The Skripal affair and the battle of narratives between Russia and UK; plus, Google and Facebook's censorship tactics.
Covering the Sergei Skripal story
For the past two weeks, the story of the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, a retired Russian double agent, and his daughter in the UK has led news bulletins in Britain and around the world.
Much of the coverage has been low on facts, high on conjecture and speculation.
British headline writers have had a field day. Moscow meanwhile has denied any involvement and has claimed the British press is churning out "hysterical propaganda" to whip up anti-Russian sentiment.
