According to the Internet-edition, in the evening of February 25th, all channels omitted this phrase of the Donetsk governor, as well as, in general, the news on the investigation of the An-24 crash in the Donetsk airport.
The first municipal television showed a video story with the title: "The relationship between the government and the media were discussed at a roundtable in Donetsk Regional State Administration." TV communications chief Pavlo Velytskiy said to Novosti Donbassa that such statements of officials do not have to get on television.
"The story was prepared by a journalist. He was right not to give it, because it should be discussed inside, it is a corporate business, to be discussed in the circle of journalists. These words are not interesting to people who watch the news, "- said Velytskiy.
The Donetsk Regional State TV (27th channel), which is financed from the budget, also informed only of the fact of a roundtable.
