Following criticism from journalist Nikos Nikolic regarding promotional posters for the football match featuring Shakhtar Donetsk, Mega Channel has issued a response. Panagiotis Perperidis presented two posts from the channel, one featuring player Jovic and another showcasing a player from Shakhtar. The channel’s statement suggests Nikolic's critique stemmed from perceived bias or “fanboyism,” dismissing it as unproductive. Mega Channel argues that such behavior leads nowhere and defended its promotional approach. The dispute centers around the perceived representation of both teams in the marketing materials ahead of the match. This exchange highlights the sensitivity surrounding media coverage of football and potential accusations of favoritism.
