Manipulation of public opinion in the Boris Kollár case and conflict with his ex-partner

by

Despite being a critic of Boris Kollár, and having addressed considerable criticism to him on my YouTube channel and FB page, so no one can accuse me of being biased in favor of this politician, I consider the latest media case involving Kollár to be an open manipulation of public opinion. I am certainly not in favor of the media praising Boris for this case, but the media really went too far with the media lynching. The journalists went too far.

Any normal person would be strongly negatively affected by headlines stating that a politician has confessed to violence against women and would do it again, and so on. However, I watched Boris Kollár's entire press conference, and it turned out that the information was extremely maliciously taken out of context. That's why I recommend that you watch the entire press conference without editing.
It is quite possible that many media outlets more or less copied articles from Denník N without watching the entire press conference.
The media decided to manipulate emotions and portray Kollár as a heartless tyrant of women. The media is inappropriately involved in the pre-election campaign and behaves like politicians. I understand that some journalists feel personal animosity towards Kollár, but everything should have its limits. Journalists have crossed the red line.
Journalists have somehow forgotten that their role is to inform and not to misinform, and that the role of a journalist is to tell the truth and to adhere to at least some basic ethical rules. Malicious and targeted media lynching certainly does not meet these conditions.
A kind of domino effect, a kind of mass psychosis, was triggered in the media, which had already begun to escape rationality.
On the one hand, extremist left-wing feminist journalists pretend to care a lot about women's rights, saying that Kollár has committed and defends domestic violence, while on the other hand, they very insensitively and cynically ignore the rights of the child, who has suffered the most. I ask, why do journalists have such double standards?
The dirty work of the media is a crude and insensitive insult to truly abused women who are actually subjected to domestic violence. The average woman facing domestic violence is in a financially complicated situation that makes it impossible for her to buy or rent an apartment to live separately from the male tyrant. Richterová receives 3000 euros per month from Kollár in alimony and he bought her her own apartment. The media is defending a calculating gold digger.
Not to mention that Boris Kollár's version seems much more credible.
The media is not suspicious of the fact that Richterová kept silent about the case for 12 years, did not file a criminal complaint for 12 years, but somehow mysteriously after 12 years, exactly during the pre-election campaign, she remembered that Boris had slapped her a few times.
Also, the media doesn't mind at all that Richterová was clearly more at fault in the conflict than Boris. They pretend that throwing a toddler on the ground is perfectly fine.
Journalists also reproach Boris for not filing a criminal complaint against Richterová, they don't mind that the child would grow up without a mother, which would be an even bigger problem. Journalists are bothered that Kollár was not malicious and vengeful towards Richterová, that he did not file a criminal complaint against her. Journalists contradict themselves and twist information as it suits them best.
The dirty work of the media can be described as demonic frenzy.
Journalists don't mind at all that they are probably pulling together with the mobster Zoslav Kollár.
                     I perceive the media campaign against Boris Kollár as extremely unempathetic, crude, and insensitive. The media is feeding on the misfortune of the child. It is feeding on the misfortune of the compromised Boris Kollár. I see feeding on anyone's misfortune as a serious problem. It is cynical hyenism. Journalists have completely forgotten about empathy. They have forgotten how they would feel if they were in his place.
                     The dirty work of journalists also brings another extremely dangerous phenomenon to Slovak politics. By disproportionately and unfairly lynching politicians, the media has completely demotivated decent people from entering politics. Why should a decent person enter politics if they cannot be sure that they will be on the media's list of favorite politicians and that the media will cynically lynch them for some minor micro-scandal? No one is flawless. We all have some flaws. Compromising material can be found on everyone. The media can destroy any politician, even a decent one, if they want to. And then we wonder why politics looks the way it does, why only scoundrels who are only interested in stealing are interested in politics. It's a perfect way to demotivate honest people who want to enter politics for the sake of selfless service to society.
                     By the disproportionate lynching of Boris, the media sent a very clear signal of what even an honest politician can expect. They sent a clear signal that if we want to eliminate any politician, we have absolutely no moral inhibitions to do dirty work to any extreme.
                     Not to mention that even the media that most loudly claim to be independent are not really that independent, and even an honest politician can be lynched by the media just for fighting corruption if the politician angers a corrupt group that secretly sponsors the media. In other videos and articles, I have described in more detail how corrupt groups pay journalists and the media in the area of embezzlement of EU projects for the pretended protection of nature. There is very strong evidence for this.

Štefan Hamran vs. Boris Kollár

Štefan Hamran made an extremely controversial statement about the case. It can be considered extremely non-standard if the police president himself comments in such detail on any live case, not just a political one. It is remarkable that Hamran is actively, even radioactively, involved in this case. He even admitted that he himself is involved in the investigation, that he transferred the investigation from ordinary police officers to NAKA.
Richterová filed a criminal complaint alleging that she was being intimidated by the secret service by being followed, which in itself seems like an extremely unrealistic and infantile theory that is too unreliable. If she is being followed by the secret service, it is only because she is in the vicinity of Zoroslav Kollár, who is publicly known to be followed by SIS. If Richterová provided the police with photos of SIS vehicles, it cannot be ruled out that these photos were provided to her by a third party. Not to mention that it may be an open secret that some vehicles belong to SIS and it is not a problem to photograph them somewhere. Another possibility is that Richterová did not even have to provide photographs and only provided randomly generated license plate numbers that are not in police databases.
                     We don't know the details of the case, I'm just speculating. One thing is certain, however. Hamran made a huge mistake by talking about this matter. Another thing is that Hamran violated the Classified Information Act.
                     The SME daily published evidence of Hamran's close ties to the PS party.
                     We have no direct evidence of this, but from the context of what Hamran said on Radio Extres, it can be concluded that Hamran most likely acted ex officio in the Kollár – Richterová dispute. I publicly call on the media not to distract attention from the essence and to find out and verify this information. It seems that Richterová herself did not file a criminal complaint regarding the dispute with Kollár, but Hamran acted ex officio. Richterová filed a criminal complaint regarding the SIS surveillance.
If it is true that Hamran acted this way, then this is clearly the most bizarre case of ex officio in the history of the Slovak police, for a police president to act in this way in the case of a clear offense. Ex officio means that the police, on their own initiative, start an investigation without anyone from outside filing a criminal complaint. Dear Mr. Hamran, your task is to act ex officio if serious organized crime and serious corruption are taking place, not in the case of partner disputes, which are an offense that is normally punished with a fine of 50 euros.
It is quite possible that in order to cover up the fact that Hamran acted so bizarrely, his friends from the PS party also filed a criminal complaint later.
                     One thing is certain, however. Štefan Hamran made a big mistake by getting so actively, even radioactively, involved in the pre-election campaign. The police president should not behave like a politician.

Political consequences of Kollár's case: the threat of wasted democratic votes

The media are incredibly contradictory. On the one hand, they claim they want democratic political parties to govern and are very afraid that the Smer, SNS, and Republika parties will form the government here, and on the other hand, the media are doing everything to make that happen. Because of this case, Kollár may end up outside the gates of parliament with just under 5% of the votes. If that happens and if democratic votes are lost this way, then journalists should not blame anyone but themselves if the three aforementioned parties form the government here, and let the journalists eat what they have cooked up themselves.

The reasons for this media hysteria

There are several reasons. In addition to the reasons mentioned, the media may have wanted to divert attention from the current case at the Ministry of Agriculture, which casts a bad light on both the President and the PS party , because Martin Ondráš from the PS party was arrested.
NAKA acted on the basis of a tip-off from Patrik Magdoško .
This police action was clearly politically motivated, and OĽANO's claims should be taken with a grain of salt.
I know Martin Ondráš as a person who does not have extremely left-wing views, he is a reasonable and rational person and does not fit in with the left-wing extremists in the party. The fact that the police arrested an advisor at the ministry who is not responsible for anything can be seen as a unique bizarre.
However, this does not justify the media unfairly diverting attention in the Boris Kollár case.
There are very strong personal animosities between Patrik Magdoško and Ondráš; the men have had a very sharp verbal conflict for a long time. In any case, Mr. Magdoško does not seem like a trustworthy person to me either; he is a legally convicted person, and the screenshots that Ondráš publicly showed on Facebook of his communication with Magdoško in private messages clearly suggest that Mr. Magdoško has a problem with alcohol.
But I've already strayed a bit from the topic.
                     Another reason why the media were disproportionately aggressive towards Kollár is that corrupt groups in the area of EU fund subsidies for nature protection have an extremely strong influence on the media. In the case of the most read online daily, we even managed to find direct evidence of how a corrupt group paid the daily. I talk about this in detail in other videos and articles. It must be openly said that Sme rodina stopped the business of fraudsters like Marcel Slávik and also refused to approve legislative changes, an amendment to the law, for the EU fund oligarch, multimillionaire and embezzler of EU projects Jaromír Šíbl on the topic of national parks. I have no doubt that the lobbying groups that steal EU funds must be incredibly furious with the Sme rodina party because Kollár thus stopped their unethical business.
                     Another reason for the media lynching is that various insecure journalists, left-wing feminist extremists, finally had the opportunity to promote their left-wing feminist ideology by distorting Kollár's case.

Double standards of the media. Boris Kollár vs Andrej Kiska

The media and journalists generally do not hide the fact that Boris Kollár is certainly not among their favorite politicians. They have not yet explained why this is so. The fact is that in 1993, Kollár had a joint company with a man who later became a mobster. Could this be the reason why journalists do not like Kollár? Some journalists would certainly argue in this way.
Except that Andrej Kiska is an even bigger "mafioso" than Boris Kollár, and Kiska, on the contrary, is a big darling of the media, who are forgiven even for major scandals. So far, no journalist has explained to me the reason for these double standards towards the two politicians.
Who is Andrej Kiska? I saw a public video where the alleged boss of the Poprad underworld, Reichel, confessed that he had done business with Kiska and that Kiska had bought real estate from him. Furthermore, in 2020, compromising videos of Kiska appeared, which are direct evidence that Kiska bought stolen land, knowing it was stolen. Moreover, it was found that Kiska bought the land from a person who already had very close ties to the mafia at the time of purchase.
So who is the bigger "mafioso" here now? Andrej Kiska or Boris Kollár?
To make matters worse, Kiska got rich through unethical business practices, with the company Triangel, which left thousands of people in debt because the interest multiplied the amount to be collected many times over.
On the contrary, Boris Kollár is not known to be involved in unethical business.
Kollár is a person with clearly better karma than Kiska. And the media's double standards would be very difficult for journalists to explain.
And now imagine if Kiska became a minister. Fortunately, he didn't, but if he had, he would have stolen like a magpie, he would have stolen perhaps more than the Smeráci. When he stole on a small scale, he stole a plot of land, so he would have stolen on a large scale too.
                     An interesting example of the media's double standards is that the media cynically profited from Kollár's misfortune when, after a serious accident, he damaged his spine and was hospitalized. Despite pandemic measures, some people who helped the nurses visited him in the hospital. Since then, Kollár has been nicknamed "papaláš" (a derogatory term for a privileged person), and a narrative of Kollár's "papalášism" emerged. I don't want to defend Boris in any way, but journalists clearly went too far in how they profited from another person's misfortune. It was extremely unethical and insensitive.
Despite this, the much more serious case of Andrej Kiska has not received nearly as much media attention – it concerned the misuse of a government special plane, which Kiska used for his private trips between Bratislava and Poprad. This behavior of Kiska can rightfully be called cronyism. You'd better not ask how much money one such take-off costs. It will probably be hundreds of thousands of euros. Not to mention the carbon footprint, which is at least 1000 times greater than driving a car. The left-wing media, journalists who most defended Kiska, who pretend to care so much about ecology, somehow didn't mind.
                     The way some media outlets behaved in the Kiska tax fraud case can be considered extremely outrageous, with some journalists even defending tax fraud. Tax fraud is a crime, but if Kiska commits it, suddenly it's not a crime. At least that's how some journalists from Denník N perceive it.

Content that is no longer part of the video version of the article

The media sided with Richterová. Why?

In the Boris Kollár case, there was also a strange and manipulative approach by the media, which clearly sided with Richterová, while not taking into account a large part of Boris's arguments, not mentioning them even though he mentioned them at the press conference, or when his arguments of defense were mentioned, they tried to ridicule them as much as possible. This is very far from free, independent journalism.
I wouldn't believe a word of what the gold digger, who receives 3000 euros a month in alimony from Boris and got her own apartment from him, says, even though she pretends on Facebook that Boris is her biggest enemy. Despite this, the media pretends that Richterová is their only trustworthy source of information, even though her behavior and credibility could not be more dubious. The only thing that makes sense here is that Zoroslav Kollár is behind Richterová's strange and illogical behavior.
Journalists are not suspicious of the fact that Richterová remained silent for 12 years and only spoke about the pre-election campaign period after 12 years.
This is an extremely dirty and unethical job by the media. The role of the media is not to distort information and manipulate, but to tell the truth. Journalists have not understood that their role is to inform and not to misinform.

The media's double standards on Ján Budaj and Boris Kollár

While the media refused to publish several serious corruption scandals and other failures of the left-wing extremist Ján Budaj, which I sent them more than a year before the elections, on the contrary, in the pre-election campaign period, the media has a big problem with Boris Kollár and is running a malicious campaign against him for a properly inflated and exaggerated affair.
These double standards would be very difficult to explain to the journalistic hyenas. I publicly call on journalists to explain these double standards!!
Then let the journalists wonder why public trust in the media is declining extremely.
There is no better and more sincere statement than that of the most influential editor-in-chief, Peter Bárdy, in an interview with Ivan Mego, where he let it slip and admitted that "we journalists and media are to blame for the decline in public trust." Probably nothing more needs to be added to that.

Media vs. Emotional Intelligence

Many journalists seem to me like autistic people who have completely lost their sense of contact with reality, lost any emotional intelligence and empathy. In their cynicism, they knew no measure or limits and unethically profited from the politician's misfortune.

The endless stupidity of journalists in general.

Furthermore, I see incredible human stupidity in journalists or rival politicians who call on Kollár to resign. The vast majority of politicians have far greater failures and far greater scandals on their conscience than this case. If we had the same standards for all politicians as for Kollár, then no one would be in politics.
In other videos, for example, I listed the serious scandals of the PS party, and they are not even in the government yet. When they are in the government, there will be 100 times more. And so I could go on and on.
                      I have seen the same crazy frenzy and crazy stupidity among journalists in cases involving politicians' theses. If we were to apply the same standards to all politicians as we do to theses, then we could call for the resignation of all politicians, and not a single politician would remain in politics. Find me one single politician who does not have a bigger scandal on their hands than a dishonest thesis. I don't know one. You can find some scandals or other compromising materials on every politician. A perfect person does not exist. And journalists cannot understand this. Or they don't want to understand, because they write on demand according to what the owner or hidden sponsor dictates to them.

Eduard Heger (Democrats) vs. Boris Kollár

The most tragicomic is the behavior of Eduard Heger. A very strange behavior. From a former political ally, suddenly the biggest enemy, whom he wants to dismiss. A strange 180-degree turn. It can be considered extremely unethical that Heger thus pleased Kollár, who kept him in political life until the last moment. A desperate attempt to please the media and a desperate attempt to increase his weak electoral preferences. The last kicks of a dying horse.
When even the scoundrel Robert Fico is outraged by Heger's unethical behavior, that's saying something.
I also ask Eduard Heger why he has double standards for Ján Budaj and Kollár.

Related: Misuse of a woman's murder to promote extremist feminism by the media

I was very concerned by the video with the extremely provocative title " Machete murder in Dubnica showed that the police cannot protect women".
The guest in the show was a certain Dáša Malíková from the organization Alej, which allegedly deals with domestic violence. In the end, it turned out that the lady was not an expert on the topic of domestic violence at all, but a very extreme ideological feminist who manipulatively twisted the statements of the police president. She used a very sad event, the murder of a woman, to spread disinformation and to denigrate the police.
Ideally, something like this should not only have civil but also criminal consequences, so that it can also be brought before a court. I consider it hyenism that the extreme feminist movement, along with selected journalists, cynically feeds on such a sad event as murder.
And it's not just the problem of the extremist Malíková, but also of the daily SME, which failed to provide truthful information.
Then let the media wonder why public trust in the media is plummeting when the media decides to engage in such propaganda.
Watch the original press conference of the police president and you will be horrified by the disgusting lies that some journalists and media have committed.
We have experienced the frenzy of extremist feminism twice in a row: while a few days ago the media completely twisted Boris Kollár's statements at the press conference, now they have done the same to the police president.

Tomáš Rajecký vs. Boris Kollár

I find it quite strange that a person from a mafia background has been given so much space in the media. However, there are many arguments why Mr. Rajecký is not a trustworthy person:
– close ties to Zoroslava Kollára
– in an interview with Ivan Mego, he was extremely stressed, which is not a sign of a person with a clear conscience who is telling the truth
– in an interview with Ivan Mego, he claims that he brought a lie detector himself to outwardly demonstrate that he was telling the alleged truth
– he claimed that his lie detector test lasted an extremely long time, up to 5 hours, which is certainly a lie, as it is impossible for the answers to 7 questions to take that long
– his whole theory with the lie detector seems to me like an untrustworthy phantasmagoria
– and so it could go on and on and on

Boris Kollár as a man who cannot control his anger and abuses women

The whole theory that Boris Kollár is a person who has outbursts of anger, cannot control his anger and emotions, and therefore often beats women, is not credible. Overall, it is very strange that the media pretends not to see this argument. We know Kollár from politics and from extremely difficult crises where it was very difficult to control emotions, and we have never noticed that Kollár would not be able to control his anger and emotions. As for controlling anger and emotions, Kollár is definitely among the politicians who are the best in this parameter.
Nevertheless, the media decided to portray Kollár as a mentally unstable tyrant of women who cannot control his anger.
The fact that there was an incident with Richterová is proof that Richterová was more to blame in the whole conflict and she had to escalate it to an unimaginable extreme, because we know from politics that Kollár is the last person who would cause any conflicts. Nevertheless, feminist journalists portrayed Kollár as a mentally unstable aggressor and Richterová as a poor innocent victim.
The way many journalists and media outlets behaved can be considered extremely cynical and unethical.

Aktuality.sk vs. Boris Kollár

Between 2020 and 2023, Aktuality.sk took a break from investigative journalism and only engaged in it sporadically. This strange and mysterious change and shift in journalism has not been explained by the editor-in-chief, Peter Bárdy, to this day.
Investigative journalism was mysteriously and suspiciously resumed at the height of the pre-election political campaign, focusing unilaterally on Boris Kollár while ignoring other political actors.
And the most tragicomic thing is that Aktuality couldn't find any less credible sources of information than Richterová and Rajecký. Another source of information they had was the HLAS party .
The political pre-election campaign belongs to politicians, not journalists. He did not explain to us why editor Martin Turček behaves like a politician.
It is particularly strange that journalist Martin Turček has produced 4 articles about Kollár in the last few days, and this may not be the end of it.
It is also very strange that the employees of Aktuality.sk are rewarded with benefits beyond the Labor Code, because in Aktuality, only 10% of the work is done during the entire holiday period. This means that most employees will be on vacation for almost two months, and that does not include the Christmas period. Ordinary journalists may be unreasonably indebted to their employer due to above-standard benefits, and then they are willing to do very dirty work for their employer, such as Martin Turček.
