I have watched main news bulletins on both STV and Markiza TV channels tonight. They brought a piece about the Prime Minister Radicova who has been refusing to voice her opinion of a very controversial issue involving the Finance Secretary Miklos, who is from the same political party as she is. The teenage interviewers walked Miklos for 15 minutes without extracting a single answer from him. And he poking fun on them! No wonder if they were unable to challenge him in any way. Then the studio showed PM Radicova shouting "Nobody is going to tell ME when to speak! When I feel like speaking I will speak!" However, neither TV channel offered an analytical piece or a commentary explaining why she has to speak when asked by media. She IS accountable to her people, they elected her! The people of Slovakia do not know that they have a right to hear an answer. No one is going to tell them! The dumb talking heads on TV screens who bring PM's self-justified proclamations explain nothing to gullible audiences. Slovak media are unable to make sense of the events they are bringing to the public arena. Or, more likely, they don't give a damn.
