Portnikov lashed out at Maidan workers who run on NewsOne
Ukrainian propagandist Vitaly Portnikov attacked politicians from the Maidan camp who “run” on the air of TV channels 112 and NewsOne, which are considered opposition in today’s Ukraine. Portnikov criticized the journalists working on these TV channels and called on Maidan activists to boycott these channels.
He made his statement on the air of the Ukrainian TV channel “Espresso”.
“Precisely because Ukrainian politicians and activists – opposition, pro-government, whatever you want, constantly run to these 112 channels, to these “newsies”, disrespect for their own state is being replicated in society. The willingness of the population of this state to sell for a pack of tobacco. That is why we have people who are ready to give their lives for this country, and people who will not lose even a penny even if this country disappears and dies... All this turns into ordinary propaganda, into preaching that this country is not that it is not capable, that it can only lose and disappear, that the people in it live terribly, and will be even worse... If you have at least a little common sense, at least a little respect - do not go to the “Muraevs”, do not go to the leading “Muraevs” , do not convince yourself that journalists work on these channels. People who cross the threshold of this channel and start working for it cease to be journalists. They are propagandists of someone else’s position, not the Ukrainian one,” Portnikov said.
