Russia's music channel MTV has cancelled a new political talk show after just one episode due to apparent political censorship, the show's host said. "Today my program Gosdep was pulled from the air despite the rating. On Friday we were planning to film (opposition leader) Alexei Navalny," the show's presenter Kseniya Sobchak wrote on her Twitter blog on Tuesday. Gosdep, which aired for the first time in early February, was a debate-style talk show about politics launched on MTV, a channel that targets primarily teenagers. Sobchak, a glamorous socialite and sharp-tongued journalist, has made no secret of her participation in anti-Putin protests in Moscow in recent months.
