Greek state broadcaster ERT has issued an apology after its main news bulletin late Monday was exclusively dedicated to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ campaign speech at Athens Concert Hall.
In a statement, ERT officials regretted that no other news items were presented during the program.
New Democracy opposition slammed ERT’s decision to broadcast Tsipras’ full speech as a “monument of journalistic shame.”
The public broadcaster has often come under fire for displaying a pro-government bias.
