First 2020 #Zelensky press-conf, an embarrassing moment: for the team in power in full self-satisfaction & for the Ukrainian accredited press corps, self-important, asking poor questions & unable to tackle key problems such as nepotism, deoligarchization, corruption & justice >>
>> Too busy trying to scratch one more question or a good word from Zelensky, Ukrainian journalists have completely screwed up on the corruption accusations around the president's chief of staff & other key issues, letting the president manipulate them (their ego) with ease >>
Several aggressively pro-Russian media (NewsOne, Zik, Nash, KP, Shariy) were given the mic, allowing Zelensky to portray himself as "centrist & responsible" (an Insta-Kuchma) For the record: in 3 hours, no foreign media representative has been allowed to ask a question -- END
