					<description><![CDATA[Xarabank yesterday made three things very evident.

Joe Azzopardi is hopeless and by time he&#039;s getting worse:  he has nothing more to tell the public.  He is simply regurgitating PL&#039;s nonsense.

Public broadcasting is once again in the hands of PL.  Apart from Jason Micallef&#039;s mantra that he&#039;s simply the best and Lou Bondi&#039;s almighty approach that he is not responsible for anything that&#039;s wrong and that all his and his team&#039;s choices are impeccable and the best ever, Xarabank proved to what extent there is internal disagreements between the PL people.

The celebrations planned by V18 and their associates are the cheap stuff one would expect from the local PL -  they don&#039;t know how to govern this country, and they&#039;re not even capable of providing some decent entertainment.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While channel hopping I saw Lou Bondi on Xarabank, how sad. Then came an ugly outburst from Jason Micallef and though that if this is our face for culture and if this is the way heads of projects think they should behave in public, we should go back to loin cloths and clubs...are there bunks available at Ghar Dalam?]]></description>

Threatened? Peppi Azzopardi is on a leash just like Lou Bondi. They are now two little Chihuahuas doing what Joseph wants them to do and say what he wants them to say, because they have to pay the bills.

I never allowed it to rob me of so many precious hours of my life. There were and still are a thousand and one things that I enjoy doing in respect toward myself, my intelligence and intellectual growth. 

I only spared it the odd five minute once every two months to be informed of the goings on in the media and the crowds out there. 

After so many years I could count more blessings than the regrets people are having for having squandered so much precious time. I got more out of not watching Xarabank than most have done in watching it for a decade. Keep smiling.]]></description>

Lou Bondi stopped doing journalism because he wanted to and not because TVM stopped his programme. 

In a way, The Fat Controller is better than Bondi. Rightly or wrongly, when the going got tough for Grima with his colleagues at Labour, he continued with his &#039;profession&#039; on NET TV.

Lou Bondi, bahri tal-bnazzi. Nothing to be proud of. In Mintoff&#039;s time he was safely tucked away in Canada and now that Labour is back in power, he lost his journalistic voice and found his father vocation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mr. Bondi went from Bondi Plus to Bondi Minus in just a flick of a governmental position. Shame on him.

He dares compare Brian May &#038; Elton John taking part in a British national celebration with the same Brian May being invited to Malta.  They are British and we are celebrating a Maltese national event: independence from Britain, becoming a republic (after the British monarch) and &#039;kicking out the British&#039;, with British performers.  

So where is the comparison?]]></description>
