It’s hilarious when they compare him to Mons.Mikiel Gonzi and the whole mizbla thingy.

Agreed P Shaw, but there’s more.

With current polls strongly indicating that the “reformed” MLP under Joseph Muscat will soon be in power for at least five years, the business people at The Times are more than just hedging their bets.

And as someone (sorry, bad with names) noted under another posting, PN persons with close ties to The Times may not be too unhappy should the outcome of the election lead to the departure of the present PN leader.

Half of them can barely write English.

The other half are Daphne wannabes.

They consistently fail to ask the right questions, usually only get half the story and far too often report speeches as statements of fact without any thought of the real story or the spin behind the speech.

I get the real Malta news of the day from The Daily Daphne, not The Times.

I’ll save my thoughts on Malta Today for another time.

Il-verita sagrosanta hi li l-prim ministru huwa bniedem gust u tal-affari tieghu u minnu ma tihux dak li ma jisthoqqolokx.

Allura min mhux tal-affari tieghu jista jaghti l-kaz li jkun kontra GonziPN.

They did that by lowering the quality, so that the latter can feel at ease with The Times.

This is my third attempt to contact you as the internet from my hotel room is repeatedly disrupted.

I am currently in Malaysia and this morning I read an interesting article published in the local paper ‘New Straits Times’, about comments made by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, just yesterday.

I would like to send them to you. What is your email address?

Is this a figment of my imagination, or what?
