Dear Editor,
Mr Emile Mervin has once again re-emerged from the woodwork to bash the Guyana government on the Antigua issue (‘Mr Moseley’s media accreditation pass should be restored,’ SN 19.7.08). Everyone has a right to choose which side he wants to be on, but to pointlessly deliver his usual cacophony without a care for being objective is just too much for the general readership of this newspaper.
It is with utter disgust that you open the letter columns of this daily and just by looking at the captions you can generally know who the author is without paging down to the signature. It is so easy to know who wrote what because it is all the usual run-of-the-mill anti-government hogwash. Whether it is Emile Mervin or Lurlene Nestor, it is easy to pick up. I believe that it is the right of everyone to be critical of the government, but it must be done objectively. To jump into the letter columns to just bash the government is nothing short of being unprofessional. Mr John Da Silva wrote of the same issue when he alluded to the NCN report which was in stark contrast to what was presented by Capitol News. If Mr Mervin had looked at both these newscasts I doubt he would have made his latest outcry.
Yours faithfully,
H. Singh
How do you think taxpaying freemen feel, H.Singh, when they see and hear the pro-government tripe printed in the Chronic and broadcast on NCN ?
But you know what’s most insulting, H.Singh, those who create these Government biased reports actually believe that intelligent Free-Thinkers will swallow the Hogwash
Singh, your outrage is widely misdirected. Freedom of speech is not a previlege, it is a right. I’ll leave you to ponder that.
Hymmm….so we should all fall at the feet of the mighty king and gov’t and shower adoration? Bere crap!
Democracy (which the PPP takes credit for its return to Guyana) includes a right to free expression.
…. here’s somethingu need to ponder !
” speech is a faculty given to man to conceal his thoughts ” !….as for freedom ,, think on this ……..
“there is no legitimacy on earth,, but in a government which is the choice of the nation ” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in any heallthy democracy there is always room for dissent ,, withoutout the use of violence ,, and MURDER !……
the kind we have come to know in GUYANA !!!!!!!
SN, my response to this was not published! Why, because you like his incoherence? I declare, he speaks from both sides of his mouth. Please, I beg you, with this one, do not save me from myself!
Thanks you!
Gap1,
You picked a fight with me on the Venezuela issue and then you ran away. LOL
Joe.
