Czech TV reporters demand apology from PM

News reporters at Czech Television are demanding an apology from the prime minister for saying that their reports were manipulative and biased. The news staff of Czech TV on Monday slammed the station's general director Jiri Janecek for not coming out in their defense and said that the accusations were so serious that Prime Minister Topolanek should either prove his claim or publicly apologize. They also want an apology from the outgoing deputy prime minister Jiri Cunek who accused them of buying information from the police and the state attorney's office. The accusations were made during heated debates relating to the case of Mr Cunek, who was forced to announce his resignation after Czech TV said it had proof that he had abused the country's welfare system.
