Posner about the scandal at “Minute of fame”: he was blown out of proportion
RIGA, 20 Mar — RIA Novosti. Journalist Vladimir Posner said that the scandal on the show of the First channel “Minute of glory” that broke out in connection with the comments of jury members about the performance of the disabled person without one leg, was inflated.
“I believed, and believe! And opinions I did not change. This is not something my arrogance or bad attitude to such people. I have already said, it’s good that they (people with disabilities), but hell, as soon as it starts it’s attention is already unfair fight. People with disabilities need to understand that they do not look like all the others, and that’s wrong, I think,” said Posner in the air of the Latvian radio Baltkom.
Informed the jury of the program “Minute of fame” on the First channel Vladimir Pozner and Renata Litvinova criticized the speech of a disabled person without one leg, calling it “a forbidden technique.” Later they brought him to apologize.
