There are a few things that I don't understand in the very pro-PLP press coverage that we're being treated to of late.
Firstly, how can there be so little follow-up on the resignation of a Cabinet Minister who appears to be on the verge of facing criminal charges arising from an investigation by the Police's Fraud Squad?
Secondly, other than a brief reference in last week's Mid Ocean News article, why won't the press report on the glaring conflict that Dr. Brown has in shutting down the Medical Clinic, when the private clinic he owns stands to benefit? That direct financial link is worth it's own media investigation. The Royal Gazette even ran a comment from Dr. Brown over the weekend but didn't appear to get into his potential direct financial benefit from closing the public clinic.
Thirdly, why has no-one gone to get the Premier's comments on the Immigration dispute that is going to the Supreme Court?
Fourthly, can someone put the brakes on the PLP-lovefest over at the Bermuda Sun? They're not even hiding their bias anymore.
The Sun ignored Dr. Brown's racial attack on Grant Gibbons; they're running op-eds by the Premier's "consultant" on race (which, to quote UBP Senator Bob Richards is like putting Jeffrey Dahmer in charge of the Vienna Boys Choir), where he repeatedly trots out patent falsehoods on the taxpayers dime in the name of an 'honest' discussion of race; and they shamelessly pandered with a series of puff pieces on Dr. Brown's sartorial elegance.
A little balance would be helpful.
