Madeira TV station censors opposition

The Madeira news used to devote so much time to the "great leader" it used to be known as Telejardim...it has deteriorated even further.

Since the new director, Miguel Torres Cunha, an ex-Diario journalist took over, news coverage has hit an all time low. First Cunha refused to cover any opposition party initiatives unless the spokesperson was a regional MP. Then he argued that many of the opposition interventions were not newsworthy and decides what is covered or not. Even the coverage that it is given to opposition parties is often edited to damp the message.

Stories such as the Public Prosecutor's Office allowing the election violation case to prescribe, while admitting that there was enough evidence to take the perpetrators to trial are not considered newsworthy.
