A handy guide to foreign journalists covering #Greece

Whenever there is a serious event the government follows this routine;

1-Ignore problem
2-Tell local media allies to ignore problem
3-When story blows up,downplay extent of problem

1/ THREAD Image
4-Attack the credibility of any organisation or media outlet that disputes government claims about problem.
5-Claim problem is fake news
6-Blame opposition/foreign powers/despised minorities for problem
7-Claim nothing could have done to prevent the problem

2/
Greece's ruling New Democracy have been using this formula to deflect blame from issues as diverse as illegal pushbacks of migrants. mass drownings (see #Pylos), wildfires (see Evros etc) Train wrecks (see Tembi) and now catastrophic flooding in central Greece #Τεμπη #Εβρος 3/
