Was any survey actually carried out?

Dear Editor,

I thank you for forwarding my letter about the teenager who was allegedly attacked by a senior PPP member, to the Minister of Human Services for a response.

On a separate note, I have noticed quite a few letters in the papers about the ads being pulled from your newspaper and have a suggestion. Is the government able to furnish the data used to arrive at their determination about your circulation ? Surely their decision was based on scientific information and not just assumptions?

I have a strong feeling this excuse is not valid since the Mirror also gets state ads. Everyone knows that the Mirror is a party paper with limited circulation. Why would ads be given to them over the Stabroek News?

Yours faithfully,
