Will you miss Mze TV’s news coverage?
Friday, June 27
“I don’t watch news on TV that much, because everything there is government propaganda. I get information from internet. So I won’t.”
Dima, psychologist, 32
“Rustavi 2 is still there, isn’t it? But they have news coverage every three hours, and Mze had it every hour. That is the bad side.”
Tamuna, banker, 36
“I haven’t watched the news for years. It’s all the same. So I’m actually glad that there will be more movies and other things on Mze now.”
Levan, artist, 24
“I never respected Mze, but now I feel I’ll miss it. Something very dangerous is happening in front of our eyes.”
Nana, nurse, 35
“I can’t understand why they did this. Mze was always a government apologist. When even Mze’s news coverage is shut down, how can more critical news sources continue their work?”
Mamia, pensioner, 73
“I can tell you flatly that I won’t miss it. I hated their news coverage, it was just a facade.”
Temuri, driver, 53
“I don’t think there was any difference between Mze and the other channels, so I don’t really care.”
Nino, student, 19
“The fact that there will be one fewer channel in Georgia isn’t good, but I don’t understand why they shut it down. Mze wasn’t an opposition station.”
Tamar, artist, 37
“The government wants to leave just one pro-government channel, like it was in the Soviet era. That’s awful.”
Akaki, NGO employee, 27
