“1+1 media” promised that the episode of “New Year’s Quarter” will be re-edited and made public on the channel’s platforms without this number.
We understand the public outrage and apologize to the audience who were offended by this issue. The creative team that created this issue in no way wanted to offend the feelings of Ukrainians. In the “Evening Quarter” episodes, the team makes fun of themselves, raises current topics, sometimes exaggerating them, because this is one of the laws of humor. This was just such a case, the report says.
In “Kvartal 95,” whose commentary was also published in “1+1 media,” they assured that with their number they wanted to show that “it’s not scary to make even gross mistakes when switching from Russian to Ukrainian, it’s more shameful to continue speaking the enemy,” Detector Media reports.
“Siska dovska”: a complaint was filed against “1+1” to the Commission on Journalistic Ethics through the issue “Kvartal 95”, which ridicules the residents of occupied Skadovsk.
Before the winter holidays, the Kvartal 95 studio released a number that insulted the residents of Skadovsk and also contained signs of discrimination against women. Chief editor of the Kherson edition of Watermelon. City Evgenia Virlich filed a complaint against the 1+1 channel with the Commission on Journalistic Ethics.
The complaint states, in part:
This number caused indignation among residents of both Skadovsk and all of Ukraine. Skadovsk mayor Alexander Yakovlev publicly addressed this number on the social network Facebook and expressed outrage. The flash mob “Skadovsk speaks Ukrainian” has already been supported by social network users from different cities.
Part of Ukraine, including Skadovsk, is occupied by the Russians. In these territories, the occupiers commit terrible crimes, which cannot be prevented within the framework of current Ukrainian and international legislation. Thus, back in occupied Kherson, the Russians killed conductor Yuri Kerpatenko for his pro-Ukrainian position, and in now occupied Skadovsk nurse Tatiana Mudrenko, who exclaimed to the occupiers “Skadovsk is Ukraine.” There are a lot of such stories of the invincible struggle of Ukrainians in the occupied territories; they are disseminated by the media, if this is permissible, and it is impossible for the TV channel workers not to know this.
I will also note that in the room where a man and a woman are communicating, the man is presented more attractively than the woman: he is reserved, patriotic, and speaks Ukrainian; She is a Russian speaker, people laugh at her because of the awkwardness of her language. Such positioning in the public field humiliates a woman, in particular, one who left the occupied territory.
I understand the despair of those who were forced to leave the occupation and cannot return home, and especially those who are now under occupation and need support, not public ridicule and bullying.
I ask the distinguished commission to publicly condemn the actions of the “1+1” channel and the “Kvartal 95 Studio” through the public broadcast of this number, which discriminates against residents of the occupied territories of Ukraine, in particular women.”
