Czech Television aired the nineteenth episode of the program Rozpleteno on Tuesday, which focused on the covid pandemic. The guests included biologist Soňa Peková and MP Jindřich Rajchl, chairman of the PRO party. Rajchl was the only politician to appear on the program. lidovky.cz ↗
After the episode aired, some Czech Television employees objected to its content. They criticized in particular the fact that Peková and Rajchl were given space to express their views without sufficient critical distance. According to critics, the episode focused on the covid pandemic was handled uncritically and gave disproportionate space to certain opinions. novinky.cz ↗
Objections were also raised over the fact that one of the guests was Rajchl, who serves as an MP for the SPD movement and also leads the PRO party. Czech Television employees therefore cited the program as grounds for internal criticism and spoke of a rift within the institution. forum24.cz ↗
In its nineteenth episode, Rozpleteno returned to the topic of the pandemic, which served as the main subject of debate in the program. Publicly available information does not yet indicate whether Czech Television's management has responded to the employees' criticism or whether it plans any changes to the program's editorial direction. Further developments will likely concern primarily an internal evaluation of the aired episode and the way Czech Television handles similar topics in the future. idnes.cz ↗
