The political economy of the selected media outlets is enough to explain the framing of the PM ’ s messages during the war . The study revealed that the stateowned Public TV and the independent Factor TV were always supportive of the official statements of the Prime Minister and never questioned those in the interviews conducted during the war . Unlike these two media outlets , the 168 . am showed rally-round-the-flag for the first 25 days of the war , but after that it started questioning the government narrative about Armenians winning the war despite the censorship imposed on the media . Therefore , the study confirms the second hypotheses , which says “ The support for the Prime Minister ’ s narrative about the war in the media heavily depended on the political economy , including ownership type , of the selected three media outlets .”
