We all know that the New Democracy party will win the next national elections, but if you thought for a second that PASOK would give up power that easily... then think again. The system wants to force a coalition government and it has now begun playing very dirty games with the elections. On Sunday we discovered that they are committing election fraud and now the mud-slinging has begun. We are actually accustomed to these types of tactics especially before each election countdown, and know that when PASOK results to this it is because they are trembling with the thought of losing power, nonetheless we still get shocked -and disgusted- when we see their "Yes Men" doing the dirty work for them. In this case it was a "suspicious" report on SKAI channel.
On Sunday SKAI channel broadcasted a story stating that New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras told the French premier that the only reason he is saying he will lower taxes if elected to power is because he wants to win more votes.
Certainly, politicians make grand speeches before every election countdown but the story on SKAI did not specifically say that the French premier said this... they said that "circles" (or rather interests) around the French prime minister said that Samaras said this.
This is bullshit.
This is nothing more than propaganda... And the reporter that presented this story is doing nothing more than throwing a ball of mud one way... hoping that it will stick to the minds of people.
Hellasfrappe does not usually criticise news reports because we want to believe that after so much "cleansing" happening on every level in Greece, that at some point this would also occur in the journalism industry. Unfortunately we were forced to speak our mind about this because it is obvious that the report only wants to discredit and rather not "report".
Watch the video for yourselves. A reporter from Le Figaro apparently said on Mbambi Papadimitriou's show that "circles around the French prime minister said that this is so"...
So what?
I can come out tomorrow and say that circles around Sakis Rouvas claim that he is married to Psinakis... would this be a news story?
Would it be featured on the nightly news as the prime story?
With what proof?
Are you kidding us!
We applaud New Democracy spokesman Giannis Michelakis for acting quickly and asking the reporter who these circles were, when this was said, and if she was present at the specific meeting When she was placed into a corner she could not give any believable answers.
And we ask? Then why the hell report it as NEWS?
E?
Whose interests are you serving?
The Troika's?
Evangelos Venizelos and the PASOK party?
Who?
You cannot present a news story on a hunch... or because you heard a rumor... where is the facts supporting this?
Indeed you can interpret things, but only after they are presented as proof.
That is different.
It was obvious that you were just throwing mud one way, hoping that it would stick in the back of our minds.
Unfortunately this time it is not going to work because we know the PASOK has mastered the art of mud slinging for years.
We also know that all the channels that support PASOK are the ones that actually believe we suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and forget that this party totally destroyed our economy.
We saw the same tactics being used two years ago when the New Democracy party was in power.
Shame.
SKAI channel is a great channel, with amazing investigative reports and entertaining documentaries.
The fact that they support and have reporters such as Mbambis Papadimitriou in their staff though is a crying shame. He is one of the "key" advocates for the Troika and the PASOK government and has never hidden his admiration for Evangelos Venizelos.
Mr. Papadimitriou... nice try.
The age of mud-slinging is DEAD.
Sas pirame xambari...
This is our opinion... and it is not negotiable.
