I thought it was a pretty good piece until the Airport portion.
That's where the veil of unbiased journalism fell away and the CBC put it's version of the Canadian perspective on the story.
Check out 4:20 in the video with the child size AK branded clothing.
Susan couldn't have had a more disgusted look on her face if the Manager had whipped down his drawers & took a dump in the corner!
Replica Firearms for sale in the Airport struck me as odd too, but it's Moscow not Ottawa.
It was a well crafted piece of CBC Social Engineering, all the fact were in the beginning and quickly forgotten.
The main impression for the average viewer:
Russians are bad & crazy - AK-47, KGB, Secret Police, Secret Agent Bar across the street with guns for door handles, sell gun shirts to kids, sell gun replicas in Airport.
AK-47 - Bad
Fake Guns - Bad
Guns - Bad, Bad, Bad.
I actually had the same face as the reporter by the end of the piece, I assumed we flew a crew all the way over there just for this story.
It looks like it was part of a larger trip that included interviewing the head of the Russian Opposition. Some real political news at least.
