Konrad Mizzi, Owen Bonnici and the Streisand Effect

Owen FB shares

My post about Owen Bonnici and Super One reporter Janice Bartolo was shared just under 2,000 times on Facebook. My post about Konrad Mizzi, Sai Laing and ex Super One reporter Lindsay Gambin has been shared 12,000 times on Facebook so far.

Is it because Konrad Mizzi is more thrilling than Owen Bonnici? No, it’s because Konrad Mizzi sued and gave that post prominent coverage across all media channels, with the result that everyone and his dog wanted to know what the fuss was about, popped in for a look, and shared it with others.

And Lindsay Gambin is supposed to be his communications adviser.

    Who knows, maybe he will decide to sue all 12,000 of them.

    The guy is so weird, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

    Pro memoria;

    Lindsay Gambin and Konrad Mizzi, Janice Bartolo and Owen Bonnici.

    LGKM and JBOB.

    Got that.

    I am sure that both mistresses are happy with this publicity.

    • thinking says:

      Don’t bet on it, their power and strength over the individual is by hiding it. They lost the leverage that they had.

      It might be fine for a few to be in the know but not so much when their families and the public are informed and involved.

      It is Mrs. Bonnici who comes out as the stronger party from all this mess. Expect Sai Mizzi to play the victim card now.

    The Times are at it again. Did they have to ask Konrad Mizzi if the report is false as if today he was going to say that all is true.

    [Daphne – It was a Department of Information press release. They just reported it.]

    • Giovanni says:

      Did not realise that it was a DOI press release as Times of Malta did not say so. But I have noticed that Minister Konrad Mizzi did not say that it was not true that he and Ms Gambin were at the Hilton Malta, and arrived from London together.

  6. Rover says:

    The creepy twat with the fake smile will have his day in court, much to our delight. That is unless his wife tells him where to shove his court case.

  7. Not Sandy:P says:

    Konrad Mizzi’s at it again, telling TVM, Times of Malta and anyone who will listen that his marriage is as strong as ever and is based on trust.

    No wonder he was so shocked to discover that he was seen kissing his communications advisor in a hotel bar.

    No word from Sai Mizzi. Konrad’s making all the noise.

    The man protests too much.

  8. ciccio says:

    The newsroom of Red Reno Bugeja on Propaganda Broadcasting Services (PBS) has just reported on TVM that KonRat Mizzi has issued a press release about the reports appearing on this website.

    Isn’t he protesting too much?

    Does he think that we expect him to admit to what was reported here?

    The Minister knows that what was reported here is extremely serious and he is in a panic station.

    • ciccio says:

      Oh, here it is:

      http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20141108/local/my-marriage-is-as-strong-as-ever-energy-minister-konrad-mizzi.543173

      What’s the public interest about the strength of his marriage?

      Of course one would emphasise this point if one wishes to deflect accusations that payments are being made for alimony.

      • ciccio says:

        “All allegations are false and in this respect it is important to clearly state the facts and dispel all lies,” Dr Mizzi said.

        Oh, yeah, and the power station is doable in 24 months, and everything is on track.And at the end of this month he is going to have a new milestone schedule to which we can hold him.

      • ciccio says:

        “Moreover, Ms Gambin did not join the trip to China last month as alleged on the blog.”

        Oh, right. Which part of the trip did she join? Given that direct flights to China are still on the cards, then the Minister could not have flown in directly from China.

    • curious says:

      Konrad Mizzi panics when faced with criticism and big problems.

      Do remember that he refused to retract his statement against George Pullicino. It only earned him a breach of privilege ruling.

  9. Maradona says:

    Wasn’t KonRat seeing somebody else when he was at Enemalta? Or was that another milestone schedule?

  10. Not Sandy:P says:

    Are Konrad Mizzi, Sai Liang Mizzi and Lindsey Gambin going to file 12,000 court cases against every single individual who shared the blog post about them?

    Well perhaps she specializes in different styles of communication.
