This is a call for training. They need to learn who to be loyal to and how to protect society efficiently. If a watchdog bites, he will be punished, especially when he bites the wrong people. If he barks, he raises the same attention and usually does not get punished for it. The fine line between criticism, and slander and libel is similar to the difference between barking and biting.
Watchdogs have to know where their borders are.
They do not always have the instinct naturally, in most cases it is a matter of the right training and the right education. So we educate and train to give them the background knowledge that is crucial for their daily work. The last recommendation for media in the Kyrgyz Republic, which has recently been raised in a lot of meetings of NGOs, is the need for an independent printing plant.
