Public broadcaster! has objected to the program "Unraveled" regarding the origins of the COVID pandemic. It stated that the program provided biologist Soňa Peková space without critical distance, failing to inform viewers of her involvement in the disinformation scene or that the scientific community has repeatedly refuted her positions. The organization also reminded that Peková lost her position as a court expert due to bias in the report on the alleged harmfulness of COVID-19 vaccination, which she prepared for Slovak government representative Peter Kotlár. It also noted the problematic appearance of SPD MP Jindřich Rajchl, who was, in its view, the only politician in the program, and there was no reason for him to be given precedence over other representatives of the political scene. The public broadcaster! added that "Unraveled" is produced outside the News and Public Affairs Editorial Board, which does not influence the program, even though it uses some excerpts from the news. It urged the management of Czech Television to prevent the repetition of the mistakes it believes the first episode contained. CT is expected to air the second episode on the same topic the following week. #Covid19 #Dezinformace #ČeskáTelevize (translated)

David Rangl published a political satire in the style of "Hey people," in which he mocked the reactions to the Senate elections. Its fictional narrator claimed that his party objectively won the elections, even though it did not gain any senators according to the text. He attributed the result to voters, the media, and artists, referencing Patrik Nacher and Klempíř. In a passage about Cheb, Rangl wrote that Sandra Tsoukernik received 27 percent in the first round and almost 29 percent in the second, while Plevný had 71 percent according to the text. The satirical narrator emphasized the alleged growth of support and recalled seven concerts by Michal David. Rangl also parodied the narrator's remarks about Karviná and Orlová, Karel's trip to India, where he was supposed to have 25 meetings, and the meeting with Zelensky in Brussels. He labeled the Senate as unnecessary and wrote that the party would first win it, then abolish it, and possibly re-establish it. In conclusion, he stated that it was political satire and that readers should wait for the real "Hey people." #volby #politika #českárepublika (translated)
