Most of the members of the Broadcasting Coordination Council (BCC) approve of the NIT’s program “Stories with Masks”, which aroused controversy over its language described as immoral and over what was called as insults and dirty attacks on public persons from the parliamentary Opposition. At least, the largest part of the BCC members rejected the proposal to bring up the given issue, Info-Prim Neo reports. The proposal to discuss the magazine “Stories with Masks” was submitted by the BCC member Vlad Turcanu, who said that mass media dealt with the level of this program and its impact on the rising generation. For his part, the BBC chairman Gheorghe Gorincioi said that at an internal meeting of the BCC, most of the members said that the given matter should not be raised. He put Vlad Turcanu’s proposal to the vote. The proposal was backed by Ludmila Vasilache and Ruslan Plesca. The other members, including the new member Vitalie Tabunshchic, voted against. The BCC deputy chairman Valeriu Frumusachi was absent. On April 1, 2008, the Parliament’s press service broadcast a communiqué which said that the BCC will soon take attitude towards the immoral language used during the program “Stories with Masks”, broadcast by the television channel NIT. At a meeting on the same day, the Standing Bureau of the Parliament notified the BCC of the indecent language used to refer to the country’s legislature during the given program. The BCC chairman Gheorghe Gorincioi, who attended the given meeting, said that the BCC received many complaints from citizens about the obscene language used in the program. He said the given complaints were to be considered at the BCC’s sitting of 8 April. Earlier, deputy president of the Democratic Party Igor Klipii had harshly criticized the magazine. He was quoted by the press as saying that the program can produce satisfaction and physiological sensations only to persons with a low intellectual coefficient. He included in this category the producers of the program who, according to him, work “under cover”. “This is the reality. As the Englishmen say: the mother of idiots is always pregnant,” Klipii said. “We got used to the fact that the press does nor inform, but manipulates. We have accepted the fact that the power manipulates from public money, while the Opposition from the money that is has or does not and poor those that do not have money. They risk being denigrated under the looks and applauses of the others,” the PD MP said. Igor Klipii demanded that the program be banned for children under the age of 16 because its language and intellectual content can have degrading effects on a child’s mind.
