Bongu,
Naf li mintix il-producer tal-programm izda hassejt li ahjar nibghat din lilek ghax konvinta li tista tifhem ahjar dan li se nghidlek. Forsi shabi l-gurnalisti kapaci jifhmuni hazing u ma nixtieqx li jkun il-kaz.
Kritika Oggettiva dwar il-programm Affari Taghna
Nifhem li huwa programm li jixxandar fuq One u naf ukoll il-background politiku tal-prezentatur. Izda nifhem aktar li l-PL fl-elezzjoni generali jrid jirbah. Nahseb s’hemm naqblu.
Inti bhala mexxej qed tipprova turi li hemm bidla u lit rid bidla f’kull sense. Tenfasizza dwar bidla fil-mentalita.
U huwa proprju ghalhekk li ghandu jkun hemm koerenza. B’hekk nistaqsi ghalfejn l-newsroom ta’ Affari Taghna hija bbazata BISS minn gurnalist ta’ One u Orizzont? Kif ghidtlek, xejn personali ghalihom. Naccertak li assolutament mhux il-kaz.
Izda nemmen li biex il-programm ikun aktar kredibbli u bilancjat, anke fl-ideat, kien ikun ahjar li jkun hemm gurnalisti ohra. B’hekk tkun qed turi bidla fil-mentalita. Difficli tkun oggettiv fil-gurnalizmu, pero mhux impossibli. Izda li jkollok gurnalist minn ta’ gewwa hi l-iktar haga ovvja forsi u l-iktar haga facli. Dan dejjem jiddependi wiehed x’messag irid iwassal.
Idea ohra tista’ tkun li jekk ezempju la l-newsroom hi bbazata minn dawk il-gurnalisti fil-programm kull darba jkun hemm gurnalist oggettiv biex nghidu hekk, li m’ghandux it-tikketta hamra biex nghidu hekk.
Rgiward l-programm tal-bierah, fil-panel tal-gurnalisti seta’ jkun hemm inqas gurnalisit mill-orizzont etc la diga heq hemm l-newsroom tal-programm kollha mill-One u Orizzont. B’hekk seta’ jinghata aktar spazju fill-gurnalisti ohrajn li s-soltu ma jkunux fuq il-programm.
Bhas-soltu grazzi tal-hin.
Sabrina

Thank Bob in heavens for Google Translate. Doesn’t do a great job of it, but it’s comprehensible.
The sad thing is that in any other place this would be a smoking gun turning nuclear, resulting in the end of Muscat’s career.
In Malta he will without any significant effort turn his followers around, blaming everyone else (as is already happening by the looks of it).
Believe me, bad syntax and all, Google is probably more “coherent” than the misspelt language used in the original exchange of emaiils.
“ajma joseph jahasra …”
How sweet.
Flirt.
Tghid DIK qrat dawn l-emails?
Talk about ambition. Dritt ministru trid issir.
Forsi xi darba nkun fil-kabinet mieghel, Daf :)

‘andi bzon lilek biex isiru jafuni’
Well – her prayers have sure been answered.
You three made my day! This is brilliant.
Just couldn’t stop laughing! You guys made my week!! Issa din l-isketch nahseb ticcirkolla fuq youtube, bhala xow taz-ZOO!!!
“Tahseb li ma staqstejtx fuqek jew!”
Even sweeter. Michelle must be very pleased with her husband’s behaviour.
It makes you wonder why Joseph was livid that the exchange of emails was leaked.
It reveals so much more than the sneaky, under-handedness of Labour, or his collusion with the non-Labour-owned news media.
Imagine Gonzi being involved in an exchange of emails like this one. You just can’t.
It was my exact reaction. I think he was rigid with rage only because he seems to be flirting and encouraging this “young” woman.
She needs his attention and he seems to relish this fact.
I might be wrong, but I was uncomfortable reading the emails because they felt like “private” more than “confidential”. Not Wikileaks stuff, but rather, intimate stuff.
But the crucial information is that Joseph Muscat is saying openly here that he and his party need and want moles in the media.

They sound like two 14 year olds flirting.
“utilizzani bl-ahjar mod”…
Subtle, isn’t she?
Did this exchange take place on her employer’s time and money?
I’m struck by how apologetic Sabrina Agius was when making a couple of suggestions (which do not even qualify as mild criticism) to improve the Affari Tagħna programme.
The sparkling jewel of this exchange, however, must be her “. . . I have to gain your trust and I must show loyalty.” Really.
[Daphne – It’s the classic exchange between a ‘charismatic’ male group leader and a fantasising woman acolyte. That’s how the terrorist and extreme religious sects recruit theirs, and why we find it inexplicable that grown women would end up as the abused and manipulated servants of some sect leader.]

Mela l-Partit tal-Iskipp itella’ programm bhal Inkontri biex jghajru lil Lou Bondi u lil Peppi Azzopardi li huma zbilancjati fil-PBS, imbaghad il-mexxej Laburista Guzeppi Muscat ma jisthix minn Alla li halqu biex jinqeda b’dal-mod sfaccat bir-Radju tal-Knisja u bil-mole tal-PL ghall-gwadann partitistiku.
Bidla fil-mentalita’? Ghax ma tghidux li ghandkom ghira bazwija tinten seba’ pesti ghal Daphne, Lou u Peppi.
