I&#039;m not sure what you people expect from politicians....he only thing that this picture is showing is that JPO still has a life, other than that in the parliament.. that is, unlike most of you commenting here.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - The current fiction: in order to have a life, I have to be seen to be having one, by uploading details on Facebook, with suitable illustrations. I don&#039;t think so. I rather think it&#039;s the other way round. The people who really do have a life don&#039;t want to tell others about it.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Times is at it again with its now usual style of reporting

I will focus on one particular article Franco Debono: I will not be leadership contender

It is unsigned - so no particular reporter is taking responsibility for it

ToM reports that Dr Debono maintained his &#039;no comment&#039; when asked about developments since the no confidence debate on Thursday.

however

for every speculative comment that the article contains the phrase - sources close to Dr Debono - is mentioned much more than once.

the article continues with sentences or phrases like &quot;The sources close to Dr Debono said Dr Gonzi&#039;s decision to call a leadership vote was an &#039;exercise in futility&#039; &quot;

and

&quot;Dr Debono has persistently - and with considerable stamina&quot; a clear vindication that the reporter is no longer an independent but highly biased in favour of Franco Debono

So, if Franco Debono is maintaining his &#039;no comment&#039; stance, who are these sources close to Dr Debono?  How credible are they?  If ToM can speculate then so can I and state that the whole article was fabricated by the same reporter (because that is all they do - report) without having
actually spoken to anyone.  Remember that  an article starting with Franco Debono said will entice the hungry public to read the article.

To finish off the article, JPO has to have his say, otherwise the article is felt to be incomplete.

I will ask once more - What is the ToM agenda?  Who have they pledged their allegiance to?  Joseph Muscat ? or perhaps the person trying to overthrow Dr Gonzi personally or the government ?

The readers of ToM, a supposedly independent paper, have a right to question]]></description>
