Bias

80%

Examples:

  • He had warned for months, he said, that the likelihood of an attack on a government official was ‘approaching certainty’. The attack had taken place, he said, in an atmosphere where the opposition’s ‘violent or hateful excesses’ against a democratically-elected government had been met with silence by international organisations.
  • Mr Fico opposes military aid to Kyiv and says Vladimir Putin has been ‘wrongly demonised’ by the West. The opposition’s ‘violent or hateful excesses’ against a democratically-elected government had been met with silence by international organisations, he said, simply because opposition views were in line with Western policy on Ukraine.
  • the Slovak prime minister laid the blame for the attack on Slovakia’s liberal opposition, the ‘anti-government media’ and foreign-funded NGOs for creating a climate of hatred and intolerance that made the shooting possible.
