They claim that the coverage on these platforms is heavily skewed against the NPP, with their communicators being outnumbered and often facing verbal abuse.
The NPP believes that this bias is part of a larger agenda by Media General to give an unfair advantage to their political opponents, particularly John Mahama, as the 2024 elections approach.
They accuse Media General of being a propaganda tool for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and call for a boycott of their programs.
An appeal was issued in a letter to the party's Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, urging for a boycott of all Media General-owned platforms.
