The Broadcasting Council (BC) sanctioned TV G\u0103g\u0103uzia regional public channel with two fines totaling 11000 lei for personal accusations and discrimination against the journalist Mihail Sirkeli, as well as for using bad practice by distorting the journalist\u2019s message. The decision was made at the meeting of May 19, according to a <\/strong>BC press release<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the \u201cSpecial Report\u201d informative program (original title: \u201c\u0421\u043f\u0435\u0446\u0438\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0440\u0435\u043f\u043e\u0440\u0442\u0430\u0436\u201d) of April 7, 2023, several guests analyzed the statements made by Mihail Sirkeli, the journalist of the Nokta.md portal, previously made public during the \u201cCutia Neagr\u0103\u201d show on TV8 and referring to the competences of the Gagauz region in the sphere of information space regulation and security, as well as the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the source, Dumitru Constantinov, President of the People\u2019s Assembly of Gagauzia, accused and insulted the journalist, including for not having expressed his opinion about the illegalities allegedly committed by the state institutions, without specifying what exactly these statements were about. Besides, Dumitru Constantinov\u2019s statements about the war in Ukraine had no factual support. According to him, the main culprits of Russia\u2019s military aggression against Ukraine were the West, France, and Germany, who have never intended to settle the conflict peacefully. The show continued with the statements by Stepan Piron, President of the Independent Journalism Center in Gagauzia, who affirmed that Mihail Sirkeli was not a patriot, did not have an appropriate education, and was ignorant of the history of his own nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BC monitoring report stated that Mihail Sirkeli\u2019s statements made at the TV8 show were neutral, did not include any accusations, and did not refer to the necessity to limit the region\u2019s powers, whereas the protagonists\u2019 comments distorted his message, and their rhetoric was based on personal accusations. Therefore, a fine of 6000 lei was applied for the repeated breach of the provision of the Code of Audiovisual Media Services (CAMS), according to which media providers shall offer correct information about a fact or an event, and information shall be verified and presented impartially and conscientiously. For the repeated breach of the provision on avoiding any form of discrimination, TV G\u0103g\u0103uzia was fined another 5000 lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aneta Gon\u021ba<\/strong>, the BC Vice-President, regards this case as media lynching, as elements of discrimination, offense, harassment, and even threats could be found in the broadcast material. \u201cIt is regrettable that a person who holds the post of the President of the People\u2019s Assembly of Gagauzia uses such false information as deepfake<\/em>, which are not verified by the reporter at all,\u201d she specified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
