It’s funny how Jubilee fanatics find a way of justifying a gag of the media. There’s no rationale in gagging the media unless we are a banana republic. It is wrong and it must be condemned by everyone no matter their political affiliation. Very soon the Jubilee-dominated parliament will pass laws for the short term thinking that UK and WSR will be in power forever. Sooner than later the shoe will be on the other foot and those laws will really pinch. What we need are smart leaders that know that laws should target posterity and not the here and now. Ooh well, if wishes were horses.
Meanwhile, let’s fuck from sun down to sun up. We must.
Freedom of media must be exercised responsibly, the media is a very powerful tool and if midiwos of this world are left unchecked they can drag this country to hell the Ruandan way. LET THE GOVERNMENT SHUT THEM DOWN TILL KINGDOM COME.
The job of the media is to air the truth. How the public/government views the truth or how it reacts to it is a whole different matter. There’s a very thin line between responsible journalism and censorship.
I agee that media should be let to do their job and air the truth but the problem here is the media does not even know what the truth is? Truth now has taken certain sense of subjectivity that it does not matter any more.
Actually they know the truth, most of the time they choose to ignore it because:
1.Many journalists are just lazy.
2. They look for half truths or lies which bring ratings to their news segments eg the projectx shit they were reporting almost daily without producing evidence.
3.Many journalist are on policians payroll .
Etc
