TV successfully ground rallies for propaganda format

Morning media notes that the leaders of the system opposition are the leader of the Communist Party of the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov, and the chairman of the Just Russia Sergey Mironov, who previously expressed their readiness to participate in the event in Bolotnaya Square, did not appear at the rally. But, in good faith, illuminating the rally on Bolotnaya, TV, in contrast, abundantly broadcast a rally on Poklonnaya Gora, where representatives of state -owned companies and budgetary institutions came.

“Independent Gazeta” considers this to be a symptom that the protests fit into the 2012 campaign, and “the authorities have decided on the tactics of response to the rally activity of citizens.” Now, especially in the light of Putin's articles on the renewal of democracy, it became clear that protest actions were adjusted to the format of television propaganda and introduced into the laws of the genre.

“We are imposing a summons, they react,” the oppositionist Alexei Navalny concludes. “These rallies [as in Poklonnaya] are a great success: many people directly involved in this know how massness is achieved, which negatively affects Putin's popularity.” It is unlikely that the speakers with Poklonnaya, who shouted something terrible and incomprehensible about the orange plague, will be close to the television audience, Gleb Pavlovsky told Vedomosti (dated February 6, No. 20), but as a way to squeeze and draw attention to Putin’s election program, the action was successful. "The authorities came to his senses from December bewilderment and demonstrates that it is able to gather in support of Vladimir Putin no less than people," the newspaper writes.

"Kommersant " notes that for the first time on the body, when covering protest rallies, they showed a massive chanting the audience in Bolotnaya Square: "Russia without Putin!" In the report of Yegor Kolyvanov on NTV. However, anti -Putin slogans were not shown during the procession.

The most striking example of how the tonality of the state television news in the coverage of protest rallies is changing, the newspaper considers the performance of Sergey Udaltsov, who for the first time after the arrest was among the speakers at the rally. At 18:00, only in the news of “Channel One” they showed a fragment of his speech: “They say that this is a revolution of mink coats. All the rich. What are you lying, bastards! I’m going in this jacket for the third year,” I spoke from the stage and in the frame of Udaltsi. “Where are the nursing fur coats?! It’s in your friends and fur coats, and billions and miles for the fuel and follance for the miles border! ". However, after three hours, this performance disappeared from the news.

The newspaper notes another difference with previous reports about rallies: if on December 10, a panoramic shooting of a rally from Bolotnaya Square flashed in almost all the news, now only the supporters of Vladimir Putin got similar personnel removed from the helicopter.
