On February 24, the pro-government outlet “Postv” produced a report against the investigative journalists’ association “iFact.”
The “Postv” report focused on an episode from a video series produced by “iFact” about the property of Minister of Internal Affairs Gela Geladze.
The “iFact” video included a list of Gela Geladze’s declared assets.
“Gela Geladze’s narrated property declaration provided a good basis for opposition media hysteria and another attempt to discredit the government,” the “Postv” report stated.
The report’s author also claimed that the “iFact” video “led to misperceptions, manipulations, and misleading the public,” and accused “iFact” itself of “disinformation” and “speculation.”
“Postv” frequently publishes materials critical of independent media, which is continuously documented by CMIS.
