Jump to Comments

In an open Kabar interview, online readers posted questions forNurlana Akhmetova Nurlana Akhmetova, the Dean of Journalism at Kyrgyz National University. She shared some dismal commentary translated the best I can below. In the ongoing information war, “lies and slander” in print and on the air all come to naught:

All of this doesn’t bring credibility to not one of the warring parties in the eyes of the people and is the result of the indiscriminate use techniques and methods of political struggle. As a result, society is in disappointment and dismay. There has been [both] an inflation and devaluation of ideas, attitudes, public utterances – all increasingly distancing itself from reality.
