Serbian term or phrase: maćehinski
Naime, vlast koja ne dozvoljava slobodu misli i govora, goni novinare kao zastupnike javnosti, maćehinski i neodgovorno gasi TANJUG nakon 72 godine rada, ostajući tako, kao tužni izuzetak na evropskom kontinentu, bez državne agencije, i ne dozvoljava kritički usmerenim intelektualcima da se obrate javnosti, nastojeći da je drži neobaveštenom, s televizija s nacionalnom pokrivenošću, neminovno će se u doglednoj budućnosti suočiti s građanima koji su izgubili strpljenje.
