Banii partidelor și agenda presei. Cum site-urile de știri care au primit cei mai mulți bani pentru publicitate politică n-au băgat în seamă subiectul Pahonțu

In 2026, political parties in Romania spent significant amounts on media advertising, with major beneficiaries failing to cover a key investigation by Recorder on Lucian Pahonțu. The analysis by PressOne highlights how financial ties between parties and media outlets can influence editorial choices, often sidelining important topics. Despite the substantial funding, many sites did not treat the investigation as a standalone story, instead framing it through the lens of political reactions. This raises concerns about media independence and the potential for biased reporting due to financial dependencies.
