Kanthan i hear what you're saying on this issue and it's very nice to finally hear your side of the story and not the constant Bull the we are being fed in the newspapers especially those Sunday papers. The problem (according to me) lies in the standers of Journalism that we are witness to. For example what the number 1 read newspapers in S.A? Last time i checked it was Daily Sun.... And what about the stories they publish in that newspaper... doesn't that tell you anything. I'm happy that the CEO of an every influential medium within the media sees the problem now the only thing is how does he ensure that his company staff are not subject to this cheap journalism?
