Has anyone watched Sport 1 (Romanov's channel) news today? Even though they always are extremely pro-Žalgiris and extremely anti-Rytas but their reaction to Maskoliūnas's was surprising. I guess I shouldn't post this in this thread but anyway, I haven't seen such poor 'journalism' in a long time. Of course the journalists say what the owner tells them to say. But after all Sport 1 is supposed to be a sports channel, not the channel of one man or one team. They could at least pretend to objective. Some quotes from today's news report:
"Romanov revealed the real face of Maskoliūnas during LKL finals"
"Finally Maskoliūnas will be working for the team of his dreams - Lietuvos Rytas"
"BBL vice champions Lietuvos Rytas..." (that's the only domestic title that they didn't win last season)
And if that isn't enough the main point of the report was 'supported' by user comments taken from various websites. They involved some nasty language (no swearing though). The comments were not only displayed on TV in high resolution but also they were read aloud by the journalists. They even tried to express the intonation by those commentators.
Lrytas.lt used to write some subjective comments regards Žalgiris too. It's no secret but I haven't seen them going that low. Watching the news on Sport 1 was like watching some propaganda channel.
All this nonsense aside, the fight between the big two Lithuanian clubs will be even fiercer this season.
