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 posebno bivši zaposleni u A1 TV, tvrde da taj slučaj, pod nazivom „Paukova mreža“, predstavlja borbu između vlade i tada najmoćnije TV stanice u Makedoniji, koja je kritikovala njenu politiku i podržavala opoziciju.
