The financial and green deindustrialization of Europe wouldn't be possible without the support of the media. This is demonstrated best in the CR by the interconnection of OKD with the mainstream media, esp. Czech TV and its many offshoots in the private media. As an opposition politician, Andrej Babiš repeatedly spoke about the "Bakalites" in the media and identified Miloš Růžička as the "chief mafioso" who was helping everybody - Zdeněk Bakala at OKD, Milan Chovanec as interior minister, Bohuslav Sobotka as PM. Růžička's "former" company, Bison & Rose, also advised CEO Petr Dvořák at Czech TV, and the relationships that were forged there still affect the station's editorial policy today. The OKD-related dispute between Babiš and the Bakalites has in fact defined the public media's coverage of political protests over the past decade. The result, now that Babiš is in charge, is that the Czech public media risk becoming another victim of the deindustrialization of Europe alongside OKD.
