Questão jurídica principal
Whether the broadcast 'Fokus' of 16 December 2009 violated Art. 4(2) RTVG
Decisão extraída
The broadcast did not violate the objectivity requirement; the audience could form its own opinion.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the debate clearly identified the participants and their viewpoints, and that the challenged remarks about the ruling and regional media concentration remained within permissible journalistic autonomy. The UBI had wrongly mixed in considerations of the plurality rule, which did not apply to TVO at the time.
