Dear Editor,
When the President’s meeting with Guyanese in Antigua was shown on NCN Channel 11 6 o’clock news, it was clear that he was very popular with the crowd and kept receiving loud and regular cheers, so that at times, he had to wait on the cheers to die down before he could resume speaking.
I, along with others, then watched Capitol News on Channel 7, which I have come to regard as the Roger Khan channel, as so much is broadcast about him, and when the part came about the President’s meeting in Antigua, I told those watching, ‘Look, you’re going to see something completely different now,” because we have all become aware of this newscast’s anti-government bias, and so it was.
They showed two speakers, who could hardly be heard, so that they had to raise their voices, because they were shouted down by the other participants. What Capitol News showed made you wonder if it was the same meeting.
No one can doubt the anti-government bias of this newscast, as well as that of the Guyana Press Association, given their stance and record over the years. The instances are too numerous to mention.
Yours faithfully,
John Da Silva
So What if the Channel (or any media outlet) is Biased?
And I Suppose GINA is Neutral?
The Chronic Is What? Genderless!
New York Times Biased Democrats.
Fox News Biased Republicans.
I Don’t see ‘Voice Of America’ Banning any of those reporters from press conferences with the Sitting President Of The USA regardless of his Bias.
Da Silva, your Rip Van ‘Wrinkle’ concept of the media died with the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Can you belive the audacity of this DaSilva person.
How does he live with himself?
As the saying goes “cockroach ate their concience”
They have an obligation to report the truth.
Da Silva,
Capitol News and the GPA are the victims of your Jagdeo, not the other way around.
It is shameless that you try to portray the one who has the power of the state behind him and has not been shy to use it to muzzle the media as the victim.
You shame yourself!
mr. john da silva a.k.a. mr. hypocrite ncn 6 o’ clock and mtv news update are sub-standard newscasts, they disgust me. those two newscasts are anti-people. they don’t care about the ppl of this country, once the government look good, that’s a rap!
Could the John Da Silvas of the PPP answer the question as to why the people who vociferously condemned the perceived bad governance of the PNC are today condoning the said bad governance of the PPP?
….. r u with an intelligent mind implying that the 28 years of total destruction of a whole country and people r the “perceived” notion of bad governance by the pnc ,,????????????????????
John, you have a very well known bias to the PPC yourself. Most if not all of your letters sing the praises of the PPP.
I suggest you leave this one alone.
SSDD
The Press Association can only be expected to come out when they feel harm has been done – and who else could possibly do harm? the Opposition? You don’t see Corbin banning anyone!
Except Team Alexander! Even in the face of Jagdeo’s worst deeds, the PNC will not be the beneficiary because they carry an ocean of baggage right along with Corbin.
Nice try, you CFO! Now run along and break the news to your dear Corbin about the emperor’s (his) new clothes!
DEAR JOHN, YOU WANT THE JAGDEO PPP TO CONTROL THE NEWS LIKE IN CUBA , ONE NEWSPAPER AND TV STATION. WHAT YOU WANT.
John da Silva. …… Roger Khan is news he has claimed in no uncertain terms he was the premier crime fighter in Guyana and none ……not one govt official has come forward to say he was not. ………How can a now charged drug wholesaler be a crime fighter and your govt not know about it.????????????
Who is destructing the country for 16 years now???
Who is giving away concessions to their friends and supporters???
Who is convicting people before a trial???
Who is silencing reporters and critics???
