With a vote of 7 to 2, the ESR today put a "tombstone" on their pluralism Media.
With a rationale that is at least comical in conception, the National Radio CouncilTVs decided that the huge discrepancies that existed in the television time given in a certain period of time to the ND compared to other parties, including SYRIZA, MeRA25 and the KKE, are not reprehensible, since, despite the unfairness of the times, the opinions were presented .
An even more painful impression is caused by the fact that in a debate on a specific bill for which the opinions of MeRA25 were bypassed and not presented at all, the responsibility is again not borne by the station as the journalists may simply not have known that the particular party has positions on the relevant bill. In other words, the opinions of MeRA25 were not hushed up, just... the journalists were not aware of them.
The decision of the ESR concerns SKAI, however, it sets extremely negative precedents on the critical issue of pluralism in the large media.
In practice, the decision enables anyone from now on to silence the opinions of elected officials Parliament parties, with the simple (or rather simplistic) excuse that... journalists "didn't know" that the party has a position.
