Controversies

Throughout its existence, Antena 3 has been criticized and fined for misinformation, manipulation and partisanship in relation to Romanian politics. In a December 2018 article, the international organization Reporters Without Borders opined that Antena 3 is being used as a tool for media propaganda while expressing concern about the sharp decline in press freedom in Romania.

However, since 2016, some of their programmes have broadcast Fox News news materials, reports about possible political implications of George Soros in civic movements, funded NGO's and protests in Romania and most of their head anchors showed support and sympathy during the 2016 U.S. elections to candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump, holding generally a right-wing like attitude in these topic, even though their channel is against most right-wing political parties in Romania, except for ALDE.

The channel is widely viewed as untrustworthy."Pro-government channels Romania TV and Antena 3 violated basic journalistic ethics in their coverage of protests in 2017 and 2018 by including false information designed to suggest, for example, that the Hungarian-born US billionaire philanthropist George Soros was behind the protests and that he tried to sway the outcome of the 2016 parliamentary elections.

"Romania TV is also behind a smear campaign against the effective anti-corruption unit, the DNA. The owner of Antena 3, Dan Voiculescu, is a convicted criminal, while the owner of Romania TV, Sebastian Ghita, is currently in Serbia awaiting extradition to Romania on a number of corruption charges." It recently showed a soft-eurosceptic attitude after heads of the European Commission cautioned and criticised the Romanian government for the penal code modifications which might affect the rule of law in Romania, but generally swings after Jean Claude Juncker's positive view of Romania entering the Schengen area and after saying that "Romania is ready to take the presidency of the EU Council", that contradicts Iohannis' negative remarks that "the Romanian government is not ready to take the responsibility of the presidency".
