Eriks Stendzenieks wrote that Leitāni, Neimanes, and LSM acted contrary to the fundamental principles of journalism, turned against the whistleblower and those who publicized the scandal, as well as justified and covered up individuals associated with the concealment of sexual crimes. He characterized this behavior as particularly harmful to journalism and pointed out that it is especially catastrophic that LSM is a publicly funded media outlet. #žurnālistika #sabiedriskajiemediem #medijuētika (translated)

Gatis Madžiņš wrote that the Media Ethics Council had requested clarification regarding the Angel case, so he concluded that someone had submitted a complaint to the council. Madžiņš pointed out that "Diena" had sent a response on the same day, in which, considering the criminal proceedings initiated by the State Police, it refrained from commenting on the events and the writing process. He also stated that "Diena" had urged the council to act similarly, given the severity of the possible crime. In the response, according to Madžiņš, it was emphasized that the media must participate in the detection of crimes and that in this case, officials may have concealed the crime. #MedijuĒtika #Noziegumi #Diena (translated)
