Why should the parliament, which has the resources to operate the Rada TV channel, take care not of the state broadcaster, but of some third-party private one that was parasitic on the state resource?&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/pODxxokLsRk?t=78<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/kinokit-is-dead-who-will-be-responsible-for-cutting-the-parliamentary-budget\/\">Kinokit is dead: who will be responsible for cutting the parliamentary budget?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> According to the journalist, the situation looks strange, since the broadcaster&#8217;s budget funding is provided for the entire year. The management did not hold another art competition, which actually paralyzed its own news broadcast. Now the channel only rebroadcasts the general marathon, without performing specific tasks to cover the work of deputies.<\/p>\n<p> Haidukevych emphasized that the Verkhovna Rada apparatus should immediately respond to the disappearance of property and ensure the work of full-time media workers.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, the fate of the &#8220;United Marathon&#8221; remains one of the most pressing topics in the Ukrainian media environment. Despite criticism and the withdrawal of some broadcasters from the project, the authorities are in no hurry to change the broadcasting format. Vitaliy Haidukevych hypothesized that the monopoly on information will last until the start of official pre-election processes in the country.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;It seems to me that we are doomed to live with this single marathon until the moment when the election race is more or less officially launched in the country,&#8221; the studio guest emphasizes.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/the-52-plan-why-is-the-government-in-such-a-hurry-with-the-elections\/\">The 52% Plan: Why is the government in such a hurry with the elections?<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> The public activist added that it would be beneficial for the authorities to later dissolve the marathon in order to get several loyal platforms instead of one that is constantly under fire from criticism. This would allow for diversification of propaganda and create the appearance of a political discussion, although the question of the conscience of journalists who agreed to censorship for a long time would remain open.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that the production company \u201cKinokit\u201d, which previously produced content for the parliamentary TV channel \u201cRada\u201d as part of the telethon, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/telekompaniia-druha-zelenskoho-otrymala-z-biudzhetu-341-milyon-hryven-i-prypynyla-robotu-pislia-vtechi-mindicha\/\">has ceased operations<\/a> .
