How utterly dead the Times of Malta and The Malta Independent.

How passive.

If journalism is meant to be what metacognition is to thinking, there is absolutely no journalism happening outside of Daphne’s blog and articles.

I am so disappointed with Malta.

Yes. My expectations are high.

Daphne surpasses them.

The rest is just a dulled circus.

A muted existence.

A voter mass numbed into a grinning silence.

There is a cog turning and what is visible is just the outer perimeter. The core, and all its links, is filthy.

I am totally disgusted at people’s lust, sloth, hypocrisy and greed.

And that is JUST what Joseph Muscat counted on:
people’s vices being stronger than any virtues.

“The Home Affairs Minister was not present in Parliament as he is abroad. As such, Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis was designated to answer his questions.”

And he did answer.

“Minister Zammit Lewis indicated that this question should be put forward to the Minister of Home Affairs.

Several other questions, including whether any quid pro quo has taken place in this case, or others like it, and reasons as to why this case was allowed to drop, were met with the reply “these questions should be put into writing and sent to Minister Manuel Mallia”.
