,,,Descending On State-owned Media
It is a total madness for somebody like Kwesi Pratt to open his mouth to talk about "partisan" (media coverage of election petition hearing.)
Kwesi Pratt, the most hypocrite stomach journalist who calls himself Editor of the Insight Partisan NDC Newspaper was not ashamed of himself to jump and trampled on the state-owned media, particularly Daily Graphic, describing its coverage of hearing of the election petition as awfully partisan.
According to him, the state-owned newspaper "deliberately" devoted a page of its May 11th 2013 edition to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), a faction in the electoral disputes.
Kwesi Pratt said the newspaper published five photographs which sought to depict what happened at the Supreme Court on Thursday but ended up giving more space to the NPP, besides he had the audacity to question and reprove the professional standards which influenced the 'pictorial reporting' in the May 11th 2013 edition of the Daily Graphic newspaper and on top of his whole distraught concert show, he charged the National Media Commission to be very serious in the appointment of Directors of state-owned media in order to avoid contumacious media Directors.
*** Don't you think Kwesi Pratt will be suitable for the position of a Director of a state-owned media?
Who knows! with the NDC government everything is possible, may be Kwesi Pratt is indirectly paving an underground way to be appointed as a Director of a state-owned media. Felix KwakyeOfosu took the way to reach where he is now.
The political strumpet and NDC commentator (K. Pratt) said he can understand if other private newspapers, including his own, will report in that manner reflecting their political stance, but for a state-owned media to show any level of bias, is wrong. How hypocrite is Kwesi Pratt?
I simply rest my case here because it seems everything is wrong in the country, else a notorious journalist like Kwesi Pratt wouldn't have got the opportunity to behave that way.
I am only waiting for Kwesi Pratt too to call the BNI to take over the PINK SHEETS from the supreme court.
