This days times have changed people look at the media in a different way they don’t care much about television that why u find people don’t notice the adverts on TV because they spend their time on the internet reading magazines, news paper and especially the I pots have all the futures on them like radio, movies and act. Internets play big roles this day.

Okay. An admission. Tried to bait you Thought Leader guys into some kind of unwise censorial statement with an alias, but to no avail. Thought Leader passes with flying colours.

in fact, since (and I quote) “All comments must be approved by our editors, click here to read the editorial guidelines for comments. Please allow some time for our editors to approve your comment after posting.”, surely the editorial team have sacked themselves since they endorsed the blog in the first place? The Sowetan MUST come out for freedom of expression against the management of the father company.

The Sub-Editor deserved that dismisal if he breached the contract of employment.The exercise of freedom of expression through bloggs requires controls to ensure that it does endanger other peoples’s freedom.

WOW!!!

Forget about the phrase “fighting like cat and dog…” Just let members of the press rubbish each other and you have MUCH MORE FUN.

And we expect these people to give us an objective view when they’re reporting?

Wrestling was never this much fun.

Can’t help telling everybody: “I told you so”. Guess what, I’m the first person in SA history to have his work deleted by a M&G apparatchik.
