Recently there was a call for the media in general to publicly declare their political interests. I think that there is some merit in that position. Every weekday morning there is a late morning talk on 95.5, where listeners are subjected to an unparalleled ranting, raving, and diatribe against the Government.
To them, they and their callers consider the members of the Partnership to be all criminals, crooks, rapists, degenerates, and the worst Government ever. Even when the Government does something right, they find fault. Some callers are even advocating the violent overthrow of the Government. They, as well, have on two PNM activists every week on the programme.
My question is this: is the PNM paying for these programmes, and if not, why not? I hold no brief for this or any Government, but the previous PNM administration was far worse than what we are experiencing now. This constant government harangue is doing our country no good.
