Direct speech

“The question is how to position ourselves to the state information agency ... Often under the slogan of objectivity, we distort the picture and look at our country as a stranger. It seems to me that this period of distilled, detached journalism is over ... I believe that there is not a single publication in the world that is objective. CNN is objective? No. BBC objectively? No. Objectivity is a myth that we are offered and imposed on us. Imagine, the young man puts his hand on the girl’s shoulder, at best, and says: “You know, I have long wanted to tell you that I am objectively treating you.” Is this what she is waiting for? Well, probably not. ”
