Bulgarian media drop Borisov like a stone
Since the resignation of the Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov, the television station TV7 and other media that supported the government until very recently have done a U-turn in their reporting, the opposition daily Duma observes: "Without the slightest warning, Borisov's media flagship has suddenly changed direction completely. ... Even Borisov's most fervent lickspittels are now acting as if they were his fiercest opponents. And the TV screens now show for the most part the 'faces of the people', the 'civil society' and protesters. What happened? Last week everyone was happy with the government. They loved Borisov and [his party] Gerb. Now they seem to have woken from hibernation. ... That's what paid love is like. It soon vanishes once the money tap runs dry. Now it's time for others to take the helm. Well, don't forget the money bags!"

Press freedom in Bulgarian
Bulgaria ranked 78th alongside Hungary in the American "Freedom House" foundation's most recent press freedom ranking list and was given the rating "partially free". Freedom House has got it all wrong, writes the opposition daily newspaper Duma with more than a hint of irony: "The newspapers, radio, television and online media all communicate freely with the government in Bulgaria. In what other country do top reporters receive text messages from the prime minister himself? In what other country do journalists freely discuss with the prime minister what they should serve their venerable audiences, and above all how to do it so that they understand the lengths the government is going to to make Bulgaria a dream country? The government has immense respect for the media: whenever the media makes a mistake in its reporting there's a friendly call from the cabinet of ministers reminding the journalists of their right to correct their slip-up."
