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
