In a recent appearance on the Czech podcast Denik N., Michal Kovacic discussed the political pressures within TV Markiza. Kovacic shared how his on-air criticisms led to the abrupt cancellation of “Na telo” and “Na telo Plus,” as well as his own dismissal. During the podcast, Kovacic highlighted numerous instances of editorial interference, such as the removal of report segments and the dismissal of invited guests. He noted a consistent bias favouring the current government coalition. The discussion underscored the ongoing struggle for editorial independence and its implications for Slovak journalism.
