Following up on my comment about the war that is being waged against the media by the Government, a reader sent on a link to put some colour around the Guyanese President's tactics to silence independent media, specifically the Stabroek News:
President Bharrat Jagdeo's government has since November, 2006 withdrawn all state advertising from the Stabroek News in a clear attempt to punish the newspaper for its editorial independence and stance on various issues.
I expect we'll be seeing these kind of tactics shortly.
