[01] Greeks disapprove of sensationalist reporting, polls showGreeks disapprove of the 'TV-trial' phenomenon and have a poor opinion of sensationalist TV journalism but the vast majority wants scandals to be revealed, even if this might lead to some degree of excess, according to the findings of two polls published on Sunday by V-PRC and ALCO, respectively.According to the V-PRC poll appeared in the "Sunday Eleftherotypia", 71 per cent of Greeks consider that many 'current affairs' programmes and certain TV news programmes run to sensationalism in order to boost ratings, as opposed to 13 per cent who believe that reporting is objective. Nearly half (44 per cent) of Greeks believe that the methods used by journalists violate constitutional and human rights, while the overwhelming majority (74 per cent) believe that private television serves chiefly "the business interests of channel owners". The Alco poll published in the newspaper "Proto Thema on Sunday" found that 80 per cent of public opinion believed that scandals should be revealed in full, even if this might lead to excess in some cases. In favour of the full revelation of scandals were 80.3 percent of ruling New Democracy (ND) supporters and 79.3 percent of main opposition PASOK supporters. Finally, 62.7 percent consider that the government and the prime minister are not taking action against corruption, while 52.9 percent consider the government's handling to be wrong.
