Ray Camillieri you urgently need help. As a good deed, please take JPO with you.

you manage to turn things on their heads. PBS is infested with PN fanatics and apparatchiks… no, not ‘PN voters’, but partisan people who push forward the party’s agenda.

who bloody cares what you of all people think… it is you who justify EVERYTHING because the disgusting antics of Labour are worse… WTF… a carte blanche to PN twats becaue ‘the others are worse’…mentalita miskina.

[Daphne – It is yours that is the mentalita miskina, acknowledging that “the others are worse” and, instead of putting pressure on your own party to get its act together, you expend your time and energy attacking those who point out what’s seriously wrong with Labour.]

you also had “Run rabbit run”

How the hell is Joseph going to welcome Lou “on board the Labour family” (Anglu Farrugia) now?

Antoine, they limit themselves to mentioning the eighties because it is politically convenient. The young generation would think that Labour is actually referring to the Nationalist governments since 1987.

Ray Camilleri, I can tell you’ve been subjected to Labour propaganda because you refer to “the eighties” regarding abuses in broadcasting. When Mintoffjani grudgingly admit to “mistakes” (and they do it very rarely) they always mention “the eighties”.

For your information, Labour violence and all sorts of abuses started in earnest in 1971 and went on uninterrupted to 1987.

I think it’s all down to the PL having become the political wing of a TV channel. After all, Toni Abela did boast how large an audience it has.

Jason Micallef is back, and he’s not messing up the figures this time.

[Daphne – No, they are not chosen for their political allegiance, unless it is as with the breakfast show, where they specifically wanted one from Labour and one from the PN. Professional broadcasters are chosen for their professional abilities and they are kept on on the basis of audience figures. You are not reading this blog because I vote Nationalist. You’re reading it for other reasons. I haven’t been a columnist for 21 years because I vote Nationalist. The fact of the matter – and I know you’ll find this really hard to accept – is that people who are good at their job and who have high standards tend not to vote Labour. If you banned PN voters from PBS you’d be left with Super One. Not great, even you will agree.

As for your other point, you can’t even begin to compare PBS today with Xandir Malta in the 1980s. Believe me. They used the MLP emblem as a test-card, for heaven’s sake. They allowed no mention of the leader of the Opposition. He didn’t exist. Even if he had fallen from a cliff and died, they wouldn’t have reported it. You had continuity announcers – maybe you don’t remember what those were – wearing corsages of red roses and red carnations. You had post-election test-cards proclaiming BONGU MALTA SOCJALISTA. You had violence in the news room, with Labour ministers actually thumping people who didn’t do their bidding. So please get a grip.]
