MEDIA COUNCIL AND PROPAGANDA EDITORS?
Listers, As the Media Owners and CAK battle over the migration issue, it is disconcerting to see the number of senior editors and columnists at these media houses using their pen to deliberately misrepresent to readers the digital migration story. Some of the more irking statements include, "When CAK forcibly shut us down...." They were not forcibly shut down, they took themselves of air why should they be airing such lies? Some of the senior editors keep talking about the number of frequencies disproportionately given to PANG. But frequencies are given according to the number of sites you have erected and these guys know this. As it is they have only 11 sites countrywide and they have been sitting on the analogue frequencies which they need to free up for allocation. That government is favouring foreigners....These editors are yet to acknowledge that their media houses took part in a tender and their bid lost. They went to PPOA and lost. They are busy splashing Anglo Leasing stories on the front pages, how would it have looked if they, with their shoddy bid, won the tender? Why can't they say they are asking to be corruptly allocated a national asset contrary to Public Procurement Law? THe Media Council instead of going after small journalists should take on these Editors and hold them to account on the accuracy of their stories. Regards, JG
