Kevin, I agree.  I think fear has a lot to do with it. 
As well as vested interests of connected parties.]]></description>

I simply cannot believe that the media did not take up this story and splashed it all over as headlines.

Daphne has presented enough facts to sustain it.

Then all I can say is that the situation is far beyond frightening.

Thank you, Daphne, for your brilliant work.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Throughout the day Sky News led with an expose on forced abortions in China. They interviewed a couple whose front door was kicked in at four in the morning by officials from the Planned Parenthood Department in their province. 

The woman, who was over six months pregnant, was then carted off to have a forced abortion. Sky News stated that this sort of thing happens regularly and with the implicit blessing of Beijing under the umbrella of their One Child Policy. 

So our Government snubs the EU and actively seeks out the despotic Chinese. Imma l-aqwa li naghlqu l-hofra l-Enemalta u nbaxxu dawk l-imbierek kontijiet.]]></description>

We live in a society where many prefer not to shoulder too much of a burden even at their work place. It takes experience and authority in one&#039;s field to man up and pursue goals which to others seem a lost cause. I don&#039;t expect a young journalist to take up this serious issue, but it is worrying that the &#039;seniors&#039; avoid it.

Labour wants exactly this, a depleted media presence. No matter how many scandals are uncovered on this blog, unless they&#039;re picked up by mainstream media, it will be hard to get the masses to understand them.

Don&#039;t tell me they looked under Manwel Mallia&#039;s mattress while he was fetching water from the Main Guard fountain?  That would leave them with an extra Euro 150,000 in cash.
