Some journalists, particularly former A1 TV employees, maintain that case, nicknamed "Cobweb," represents a fight between the government and the then most powerful TV station in Macedonia that was critical of its policies and in support of the opposition.
Neki novinari, a posebice bivši zaposlenici A1 TV, tvrde da taj slučaj, pod nazivom "Paukova mreža", predstavlja borbu između vlade i tada najmoćnije televizijske postaje u Makedoniji, koja je kritizirala njezinu politiku i podupirala oporbu.
