BBC Sochi Report, Mayor Anatoly Pakhomov

A BBC report on the Sochi Olympics is analyzed for its biased translation of the city's mayor, Anatoly Pakhomov. The mayor's comments about the absence of a gay community in Sochi are presented as "draconian," while the hosts point out the existence of gay bars in the city that the reporter actually visited. They encourage listeners to read the Heiss white paper to understand the "F Russia" media column.
