Ukrainian media regulator sees bias, propaganda in operations of Pryamiy TV channel 2 min read
Head of Ukraine s National Council of Television and Radio Broadcasting Olha Herasymiuk has noted the presence of problems with impartiality and propaganda in programs aired on the Pryamiy television channel, owned since February 18, 2021 by former Ukrainian President and co-chairman of the European Solidarity parliamentary faction Petro Poroshenko. Their problem is the partisanship of their speech, party propaganda. Unfortunately, this is so. They pursue a strange stance: since they are patriots, they are allowed to do what others are forbidden to do like swear during live broadcasts, use offensive language, give biased information. I am categorically opposed to such a stance, Herasymiuk said in an interview with The New Times online newspaper published on Monday.
