					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve known him for 20 years, so no, it isn&#039;t. 

That he is unfit for the purpose of CEO of a public service broadcaster is apparent to everyone. You don&#039;t need to know him.

And yes, you are defending him, oddly enough.

I would never be so arrogant as to imagine I am able to be CEO of anything, let alone a public service broadcaster, and this despite the fact that I am literate, educated and have the social skills which Bundy consummately lacks. 

Failing to see that you are unqualified for something is evidence of lack of intelligence: the dim are too dim to see that they are unfit, or something to that effect. ]]></description>

My point is that they should ALL be professional appointments based on merit and a transparent appointment process. Many of them were and are unfit, but John Bundy is conspicuously and offensively so. He is almost illiterate.]]></description>

But we all know that there was never a call for applications for any CEO  in a publicly owned entity.

Why should John Bundy be the first one?

I recall the CEO of Gozo Channel calling back the ferry, was he placed there on merit?

I prefer to wait and see and judge people by what they do.]]></description>

My view of John Bundy is objective. Had he been interviewed for the post of CEO in an open call and with a transparent process based on fitness for purpose, his application would have been spiked on reading.

It&#039;s doubtful whether he can even write one.]]></description>

No, I don&#039;t have any vested interest in defending Bundy, it looks more like you want to discredit John Bundy.

I want to be objective and impartial. I approve to most of your posts, but I cannot approve your criticism to Mr Bundy just because he hopped to Europe.

A short business trip is nauseating, it sends shivers down my spine.I don&#039;t know what it does to you.

Be fair with the man.Give his hundred days like we give to others.]]></description>

This is an opinion post, not a piece of reportage. I think you should more properly explain why you seem to be so personally invested in John Bundy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Probably the CEO was invited to attend, like  all others before him were.

&quot;Instead of calling brainstorming meetings with people who actually know something about running...&quot;

How did you conclude that he did not hold brainstorming meetings ?

Sorry Daphne, your&quot;reporting&quot; lacks facts and your comment is not convincing here.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good on him to go there and make sure Malta earns a good reputation on stage. Why else would he be there? I am sure he is not on Grindr in Cologne and neither is he there to secretely flirt with the young ones competing. 

Bundy is straight as an arrow, and despite his mental imbalance and sensitivities (see his Facebook posts) he is simply dojng what he thinks is right. Put simply, he day he walked into PBS he discovered there is nobody competent from the station to represent PBS so he decided to roll up his sleeves and handle it himself. Soon we will be calling him John Trump Bundy.]]></description>
