by time news

Specifically, the well-known journalist, during a discussion with TikToker Dimitris Savvidis about the prices in the Greek market and the related research he conducts on social media, felt insulted by the guest’s statements, prompting him to request the termination of the live connection.

«With all due respect and courage, nothing will change in Greece as long as you, the journalists, those who have the power and ability, do not expose the politicians who manipulate according to the interests that serve them.

Mr. Hypofantis, in 2019 you were at another channel and were doing investigative journalism, criticizing the then-government.

However, from 2019 to 2022, you remained at the same channel and did not make the same criticism,» noted Dimitris Savvidis at first.



 

«What didn’t we do? You have no idea if we were making the same criticism or not. Now you are speaking with me! Now I will answer!», commented Nikos Hypofantis, clearly annoyed.

«Listen to something! We had two years of a pandemic. We didn’t know if we would be able to leave the house. Do you think that during these two years we didn’t know what was happening in the market?

Do you know that fuel prices hit zero? Don’t try to play smart with me!», the journalist added in a high tone.

«Since you made the issue personal… we had two years of a pandemic, during which Europe and the whole world lost millions of people», Nikos Hypofantis wanted to say next, but he couldn’t control his annoyance and interrupted the connection with the guest.

«Thank you very much, you’re leaving, goodbye! What is this man saying?», said Nikos Hypofantis.
