Participants in the program are trying to answer the question: "Is there real freedom of the press in Russia?".

He expressed disagreement with V. Loshak, according to which, between publications there is no "mutuality" or mutual understanding.

V. Loshak, recognizes the support of the course of the President, although he speaks about the critical materials that came out during the election campaign.

Indicates the prejudice of the newspaper Pravda, its explicit communist orientation and recognizes the existence of two warring camps between publishers.

The role of the press in the development of the country and its influence on the formation of public opinion is discussed.

The issue of patriotism is being raised.
