No, of course they don’t.

In another story some time ago Maltastar and Super One claimed their staff were attacked (they weren’t). The story identified Daphne as the attacker and me as a ‘young student’, when she did nothing of the sort and I do not fit their description. And, as in the latest case, the delicious irony was that they have the footage to prove it.

Same cameraman, same difference.

More recently, the ‘man’ behind that deliberately incorrect story was promoted to the post of head of communications in the PL.

That’s the PL’s standards for you.

In reply to Mandy Mallia. Believe me, I know what you mean but my reaction cannot be mentioned ...

“The Labour Party never changes. Now that it can no longer use thugs to harass those it considers to be its political enemies, it uses its media to bully them instead.”

D, you hit the nail on its head now.

“And as for the Institute of Maltese Journalists, it can go to hell. Unless it issues a retraction immediately, we’re going to court.”

I love this blog.

“Another point: my sister is a private citizen. The Labour Party has no right to chase her through the street while filming her.”
Seriously, does the MLP/Super One know better?

@ Beauchamp,

I would also include Mr. Reno Bugeja of PBS.

All the other reporters are the “cut and paste” type; Shame!

There is only ONE REAL JOURNALIST in Malta and that is YOU, Daphne. The rest are ALL just spineless REPORTERS who do just that -‘report’. The Institute of Journalists should be there to protect people like you and NOT to condemn or try to stifle you!

If this was the US you would probably be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for having the guts to expose the wrong doings of an important public official who would love to (and potentially has the power to) put you behind bars.

In Malta the opposite happens…how very sad!

I’m sure these are not easy times for you but rest assured that most people are behind you and we will not let these pathetic people silence you.

As Eddie used to say “IS-SEWWA JERBAH ZGUR” – We’re doomed if it doesn’t!

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

Hbieb u li ssemmi gurnalist b’ismu ghal-aktar minn darba quddiem folla nies m’huwiex kundannabli?
Nahseb biex tkun kredibbli trid tiddefendi ‘l-gurnalisti kollha, mhux lil ftit membri tieghek biss.
