Chas columnist Leonid Fedoseyev states that journalists of the National Radio, when providing a daily press review, gave subjective and distorted information about Tsilevichs interview for Nezavisimaya Gazeta. Fedesoyev believes that when journalists indicate the source of information -- the Russian language press or the Latvian language press -- it only deepens the gap between two information spaces. He suggests that information from all newspapers should be given in one block, however, he suggests that information published in the Russian language press should be prepared by Russian journalists.
