Media and Objectivity
Many citizens like tabloids but crave news that should be objective and factual. However, there are quite a few people among us who not only want to be off the beaten path, but also need to literally manipulate people.

They know what the [43] ethical code [44] means in this regard. Especially in the field of politics. [45] [46] Regarding the current world epidemic problem, [47] [48] COVID-19 [49] [50], our CT should not scare people, but rather [51] [52] experts [53] [54] should give good recommendations on how to behave in these times. Thus, their interviews touching on this issue sometimes seem to be directed at giving specific advice or commands so that people understand that they may lose out financially.
Have you heard from the CTof Public Law what has actually been revealed prior to this global issue? [Human security and immigration – by politicians, whether in the EU or our own,
usually takes quite a long time because it is the right decision.
