      @@bjdefilippo447 Okay, I'll break it down really simple. If VOA receives funding from both the government and private sources, it's not wholly funded by the government, so the first part of the statement "in whole or in part" is not true. Knowing that VOA receives funding from private sources, we know that it IS funded "in part" by the government. The "either/or" statement is false.

    Amazing! When the shots rang out, almost the entire security force here dispersed, rather than try and cover the President. The President ends up on the ground and still in the open line of fire that could come from any other directions. Notice the Security Officer in the white shirt that runs rather than pull his fire arm and point it in the direction of the assailant. This is some of the worst security training that I believe that I have ever seen.

    First of all I do not approve the attempted assassination of Robert Fico. It's a tragedy and I wish him a speedy recovery.
    Resolution that was posted by National Council of the Slovak Republic just few hours ago:
    There is nothing wrong with it unless you read point 3.
    3. It calls on all political entities in Slovakia, as well as the media and the non-governmental sector, to respect the results of democratic elections and not to spread hatred towards the legitimate democratic government of the Slovak Republic, because it can result into hate crimes.
    Actually there is written that if someone do not agree with Government politics, the person who publishes disagreement automatically incites hatred and violence. So if the opposition is going to be "opposition" or the media will publish something against the government, they automatically incite violence against the government. It starting to look like that Slovakia is slowly turning into police state.
    NÁRODNÁ RADA SLOVENSKEJ REPUBLIKY IX. volebné obdobie UZNESENIE NÁRODNEJ RADY SLOVENSKEJ REPUBLIKY z .... mája 2024 k atentátu na predsedu vlády Slovenskej republiky Roberta Fica Národná rada Slovenskej republiky 1. So zdesením a hlbokým znepokojením prijala správu o atentáte na predsedu vlády Slovenskej republiky Roberta Fica, ktorý bol zjavne spáchaný z politických motívov a zaslúži si to najostrejšie odsúdenie.2. Principiálne odmieta násilie, osobitne násilie, ktoré atentátnik zjavne spáchal iba preto, že má iný politický postoj, aký prezentuje vláda SR. 3. Vyzýva všetky politické subjekty na Slovensku, ako aj médiá a mimovládny sektor, aby rešpektovali výsledky demokratických volieb a nešírili nenávisť voči legitímnej demokratickej vláde Slovenskej republiky, pretože výsledkom môžu byť aj takéto nenávistné trestné činy.4. Apeluje na všetky politické subjekty, ako aj na médiá a mimovládny sektor, aby zmierňovali napätie v spoločnosti, prestali s nenávistnou rétorikou a prispeli k spoločenskému zmieru, stabilite a pokoju na Slovensku.5. Zdôrazňuje, že ľudia nesmú byť terčom nenávisti kvôli svojim politickým názorom, pretože pluralita, diverzita a rešpekt k inému názoru sú základom každej slobodnej a demokratickej spoločnosti. 6. Konštatuje, že úloha zodpovedných a kritických novinárov je v zdravej spoločnosti nezastupiteľná, ale ich práca musí byť založená na faktoch a nie na šírení nenávisti. 7. Povzbudzuje vládu SR k prijatiu adekvátnych bezpečnostných opatrení, ktoré do budúcnosti zabránia ďalším násilným politickým útokom na ústavných činiteľov a občanov Slovenskej republiky.8. Želá predsedovi vlády Slovenskej republiky Robertovi Ficovi skoré uzdravenie, ako aj čo najskorší návrat do výkonu jeho ústavnej funkcie.
    Dôvodová správa Vzhľadom na bezprecedentný útok na život predsedu vlády Slovenskej republiky Roberta Fico je morálnou aj politickou povinnosťou Národnej rady Slovenskej republiky odsúdiť tento brutálny prejav politického násilia, ako aj rastúcu vlnu nenávisti na Slovensku voči demokratickej vláde, ktorá vzišla z riadnych a slobodných parlamentných volieb. Národná rada by mala jednoznačne zdôrazniť, že ľudia nesmú byť terčom nenávisti kvôli svojim politickým názorom, pretože pluralita a diverzita sú základom každej slobodnej a demokratickej spoločnosti. Zároveň by NR SR mala vyzvať všetky politické subjekty, ako aj médiá a mimovládny sektor, aby zmierňovali napätie v spoločnosti, prestali s nenávistnou rétorikou a prispeli k spoločenskému zmieru, stabilite a pokoju na Slovensku.
