Here is a great example of bad reporting. That is why I sometimes criticise some posters for bad reporting about expansion. So, what does the reporter say?
”Of course, the European market is the most interesting for us. However, we can’t forget about Asia. To this day we have received interest from countries like France, Sweden, Germany, Great Britain, South Korea, and Japan.” the KHL executive revealed.
”KHL hosted ”World Games” last year when the best teams from the league played in Davos. We are trying to market our league so that it would raise interest for as many hockey fans as possible.
We intended to introduce two new teams for the next season, expand into two new locations but then the Covid-19 pandemic started” Morozov added.
While Morozov said something different. I will quote
the Russian version.
Европейский рынок, конечно, наиболее интересен, но и азиатский нельзя забывать. Мы давно работаем в этом ключе, интересны многие страны — Франция, Швеция, Германия, Великобритания, Корея, Япония. Мы работаем на всех этих направлениях. КХЛ также проводила в прошлом сезоне «КХЛ World Games», наши топовые команды играли в Давосе. Мы показываем Лигу так, чтобы это было привлекательно максимальному количеству зрителей,
на следующий сезон планировали открыть для себя еще два новых места, но вмешалась пандемия.
The reporter showed either his poor Russian or misunderstanding of the league. Morozov means by "two new locations" the two new cities/countries for hosting the KHL World Games. He
did not say the KHL planned to expand with two new clubs for the next season. But, ordinary fans read this reporting in the English media and since now they will claim to us that the KHL planned to expand with two new clubs for the next season. Of course, it is not true.
The same applies to other news. Bad media reporting results in a misunderstanding of fans.
