[lbo-talk] Volga roadtrip - and missing the real story

[Peter Lavelle]

I will have to give Rupert's report(s) a watch. However, I can't but  want to call him "Wingnut". He did two reports out of Kosovo about a  month ago that were an insult to basic intelligence. Basically his  storyline was the following - all of Kosovo's problems are to be blamed  on the Russians. He barely touched on the Serbs or the Kosovars. 

  

  An important aside, if Kosovo declares independence anytime soon,  expect Russia to react very forcefully and with a lot volume. Kosovo  very likely could be the story of the year.....stay tuned in......

*The BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes is travelling in a Volga car along the 
Volga river to take a snapshot of life in Vladimir Putin's Russia, as 
the presidential election looms. This is his first piece, from the city 
of Nizhny Novgorod. *
