Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted July 22, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted July 22, 2009 What I understand is that you have a regional governor applying sanctions against a TV news organisation. Presumably the governor doesn't like the organisation's politics - what's caused this? You can probably expect broad support for the principle of a free press. What you may also find is that people expect this sort of behaviour from ex-USSR states, on the basis that this is how things used to be with everything under state control.

Olex Kalynychenko Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 What I understand is that you have a regional governor applying sanctions against a TV news organisation. Yes, our regional governon wish see on TV only good news and praise of executive power and suppress of any news about real situation of our life. On last week, our sanitation company, regional monopolist, to level up prices at 150%. And, only "51 channel " to show of press conference about discontent of citizens. I do not told about unemployment and advance in the cost of living. The our regional governor propose of personal money on foods for hungry journalists, and do not more. You can probably expect broad support for the principle of a free press. What you may also find is that people expect this sort of behaviour from ex-USSR states, on the basis that this is how things used to be with everything under state control. Yes, the many ukrainian, russian funds and a some politicians to countenance of strike of journalists and i hope, we uphold of freedom of speech. I do not work on TV, but, i have many friends and colleagues on TV. And i can't to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Paul Bruening Posted July 23, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted July 23, 2009 Your country could do like the USA. Let unrelated corporations buy up your TV and replace anyone possessing a conscious with willing do-what-they're-told-to-do robots who manufacture idiotic gibberish in the not-so-thinly-veiled guise of news. News still matters to your people because it seems like an avenue of positive social change. We've pretty much given up on that happening, here. Though, the news programs are a truly fantastic place to get some hefty laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Teulon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Olex, It's so sad to hear of people suffering. I was watching newsnight (BBC2) a couple of weeks ago and they reported on the killing of a peace activist out there. She's not the only one to have been murdered. Anybody that tries to expose the state of your nation gets killed. There seems, at the moment, to be very little room for freedom as the political complications are immense. But hope must never be lost. I wish your tv colleagues peaceful success. P.S As I read that post there was an advert at the top of the page that headlined "Find your Ukrainian Beauty today!" I mean c'mon....WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
