More evidence of the lack of competition in Georgian broadcasting

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friendPDF versionPDF version

Georgia's three national TV stations - all financed and controlled by the government - tonight report heavily on the Ukrainian presidential elections.

Tea Adeishvili, who nominally works for Rustavi 2, has made the news for being roughly handled when trying to shout questions at Viktor Yanukovych.

The video of this incident clearly shows Adeishvili holding microphones of all three national stations - again providing supporting evidence to the opposition's claim that, rather than competitively seeking out and breaking news stories, the three operate to a "news" agenda set in the presidential palace.
