Golden Dawn spokesman Elias Kassidiaris was recently interviewed on Maki Triantafyllopoulos' "Kitronos Typos" -Yellow Press- show which is broadcasted on EXTRA Channel on Monday nights. Asked to comment on the incident on the ANT1 television channel, Kassidiaris said that he felt he was set up, and that the Greek media used this incident to harm the popularity of his party. Unfortunately Triantafyllopoulos interpreted Kassidiaris' every word in the only way he sees fit (or through the eyes of a leftist), and it was clear that he sided with Liana Kanelli and SYRIZA's Mrs. Dourou against Kassidiaris. In our opinion Makis Triantafyllopoulos was not successful in doing so, because Kassidiaris is well trained as a political spokesman to not fall into lingo-traps with everything he says.
Editor's note - Journalists should just be asking questions, they shouldn't over analyze the person they are interviewing so as to direct public opinion away from what was said to what they think the person interviewed wanted to say.This does not show objectivity. Then again when was the Greek media ever objective about anything it reported?
