Slovakian PM labels mainstream media ‘Bloodthirsty Bastards’

Robert Fico news

Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico launched a scathing attack on journalists during a press conference, branding them “bloodthirsty bastards” and accusing major legacy media outlets of fostering an atmosphere of hate that led to a gunman shooting him in the stomach in May.

Fico claimed the media was “possessed by the devil” and vowed to establish a national media watchdog and introduce qualification exams for journalists, citing the need to curb the “hate” being spread in the press.

Fico singled out prominent Slovak outlets for criticism and suggested sanctions for journalists who fail to correct errors in their reporting. Opposition politicians condemned his remarks, with some likening his media control proposals to censorship practices in authoritarian regimes. Fico, in the past, has accused foreign-backed entities and billionaire George Soros of influencing the media and downplaying the assassination attempt against him.

  1. Robert Fico is absolutely correct, as the MSM is owned by the same Zionists who are committing Genocide in the Middle East.
    Here’s hoping the Slovakia will join BRICS and align with Russia.

  2. In my opinion, the MSM has two problems:
    (1) A very strong bias, usually towards the left leaning political party that is backed by the globalist “deep state”, the “news” being supervised (at least in the US) by the CIA mockingbird operation.
    (2) An utter inability and laziness to actually do journalism; an unwillingness to actually do research.

    Then what happens is people are drawn to the so-called “alt-media” which has all sorts of “news” on it, some of which is true, and some is false and just made up. People then have to use their discernment to evaluate what is true.

    You can, as aa absolute minimum, trace control of the MSM by 3-letter agencies back to 1947; the Roswell crash. It was announced that a UFO had crashed, and aliens were recovered. Then the media was threatened by having their licenses removed. Suddenly it was a weather balloon.
