Malta Today: il-vera tan-n**k
Unbelievable. Really, really unbelievable.
The trailblazing newspaper that sets the standards for journalism in Malta without fear or favour today carries on its front page a large picture of Robert Musumeci.
The story says that after “savage character assassination on a blog”, he has been betrayed by his party and asked not to stand in the casual election to succeed John Dalli.
Saviour, Roger, Matthew, Julia and all the rest of the sorry axe-grinders in there: shouldn’t you be investigating Robert Musumeci instead?
Shouldn’t you be finding out whether the magistrate pays for her jewellery and catering?
Then you might win some respect.
Meanwhile, perhaps Astrid Vella and George Debono might take five minutes out of their day to ring me and thank me. But of course, they won’t.

And am I the only one who thinks that Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s appearance on Super One yesterday night was uncalled for?
@DCG:well done!
I have received the email doing the rounds and it is hilarious; received a few thanks for forwarding it, too.
Well, in life we have to choose, and Saviour has chosen to be Robert’s friend and defender. It also means that he accepts all the facts, that for him such activity is normal.
Good to know, and he might as well now explain in detail what are Consie’s assets, and what are her business deals, and whether he accepts that a magistrate should party like that. Maybe we should quote the case of Iris Robinson, who having admitted a sexual affair with a youth went on to resign and withdraw from public life.
[Daphne – Consuelo’s assets, before she left him, were all in her husband’s name. They separated their estates so that she could make a point of saying, if accused of involvement in land development deals, that they were her husband’s and not hers. That is why she made a point of telling the press that the Lija flats belonged to ‘my husband’ (when ordinarily, if married, they would belong to both). Yet she was the one doing the running and the dealing. What they did after the split is anyone’s guess. Now I would imagine that Musumeci does it all. After all, it’s his main line of business.]
We all know what Robbie thinks of Consie’s assets
Savage character assassination? How about what is written in Malta Today? Isn’t that savage character assassination? Especially by the likes of Raphael Vassallo, Matthew Vella, Saviour Balzan, James Bondin, Julia Farrugia, Karl Satagno Navarra….the list is too long. Not to mention the Karl Schembri. Their pen is full of venom and hatred for those who don’t see eye to eye with them. There will be a time when we will see them flat on their faces. They wont investigate the true villains, no. Otherwise they will have to investigate those who are feeding them lies and bull.
Daphne, you should seriously consider opening your own newspaper. I’m sure that all the papers sold by Media Today in the past years will be sold in six months by your newspape
I’ll buy your paper for sure. It will be a nightmare for the allat u dawk li jafu kollox tal-MaltaToday.
[Daphne – No. Let them stew in their own juice. They’re on the high road to hell, picking on individuals who are not accountable to the public while sucking up to those individuals who are held in contempt because they are accountable and yet behave as though they are not. Saviour Balzan asked me to work for him a couple of years ago. I politely told him to go and stuff himself. His and his newspaper’s attitude towards me is a classic case of seeking to destroy what you can’t have.]
Shame on you, Malta Today.
Min ma jridx min jghidu bih, ma jgibx ruhu b’mod li jaghti lin-nies x’jghidu! Mr. Musumeci please note….
Gejjin b’betrayed by his party!!
Daph, ruhi why did you censor yourself in the title? This rag deserves all it gets and more for it is run by scum! So here it goes: Malta Today: il-vera tan-NEJK
It is run by an intelligent and courageous person and read by quite a few scum like you Hot Mama.
You’re the scum for sticking up for such rubbish but like with like! As for calling Saviour intelligent and courageous…what a joke! But you’re an even bigger joke for writing such drivel.
@ Hot Mama. I must have been over tired yesterday. I got the wrong end of the stick, I thought that you were refering to this blog. The intelligent and courageous person I was refering to is Daphne and not that idiot Savior Balzan.
Trailblazing newspaper? Which newspaper in today’s day and age has its on-line edition up three or four days after it’s printed?
I gave up on Malta Today ages ago. There are far too many hidden agendas.
A fitting name for this type of on-line information which no paper in Malta publishes should be: “Daphne’s clear crystal ball”.
Ignore the Malta Today spin on this issue. The PN dropped Musumeci like a hot potato because it knows that the majority of its voters are uncomfortable with his private and professional behaviour.
Quite a few young politicians have failed to learn this most basic of lessons: when a political party shows enough faith in you to ask you to stand for election in its name, it only does so because it believes people approve of your behaviour and circumstances. Change those two factors and you’re worthless to them.
Catch up with the blog some other time, everyone. Switch to Super One to watch the priedka tat-tifel!
I have an idea. Daphne next Sunday open up a blog in which we can report how many Malta Today are left on the newspaper stands in various shops and areas say round about noon. X’tahseb.
“The new Labour Party emblem will be chosen by its 25,000 members following an open competition, where professionals will be invited to design the emblem.” (Joseph Muscat, this evening)
Maybe they’d like to use this one:

How funny! They have made such an effort to stamp out any images of the Labour Party, and have gone so far as to remove any mention of it from any backdrops, etc.
There they go, then, to create a new emblem for the “Labour Party” (their words, not mine), and not for the “Moviment tal-Progressivi u Moderati”. The left hand really doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. Imagine them running the country!
Mandy
Not just the right hand: the left hand itself doesn’t know what it’s doing.
How about this for a logo?
http://brandon.pulpexplosion.com/journal/walmart-orgy.jpg
P.S. Now for the interpretation of my candidate design for Labour’s spanking new logo.
The dynamic fresh new logo symbolises all that Labour stands for.
Ambition and drive to be at the top: kollha zwiemel
Respect for the gay community: logo includes pink horses
Respect for all sexual orientations: we don’t know if they’re both horses or mares, or both, or none at all
The one dark horse: Il-Leader Joseph Muscat’s rise to power
And finally, the total clusterfuck
I don’t know why the PL logo has to be designed by professionals. They use amateurs for everything else.
Ha ha . . . including party leaders, parliamentary (EU and Local) representatives, party executives and journalists . . . probably the only people they have that are not amateurs are their army of inbred thugs!!

What’s the difference between a friend and a personal friend?
and so ?
E.Muscat mentioned an e-mail that was hilarious. Is there any way these e-mails could be posted here ? Or is that not acceptable for some reason or other?
[Daphne – I don’t know which email that would be.]
From Times web site:
House to take break for casual election
” He explained ( Dr. Tonio Borg ) that the casual election would have to be held even if there was one candidate for the seat, and the candidate would have to achieve at least half a quota to be declared elected.
The government would otherwise be free to co-opt whoever it wished.”
Looks like it will be one or none.
You all have been writing about Malta Today. Sincerely I ask: What is Malta Today?
What’s all the fuss about? What’s ‘vitriolic’ about DCG expressing her opinion about the personal conduct of a member of the judiciary in a lucid if forceful manner?
Most know by now that DCG does not mince her words and that she may go over the top on occasions; but not this time. Turning the spotlight on the behaviour of the judiciary every now and then is a sanitary exercise as recent events have shown us.
Re the forthcoming casual election: From what I’ve heard, no Nationalist candidate will be allowed to put his name forward – the aim is to co-opt Simon Busuttil to parliament. Don’t know if anybody else heard this?
Mela Simon jaqbillu, wara li hadem daqshekk ghalina fl-Ewropa u issa li qabad sew mal-problema tal-Frontex.
Well, we all know Saviour from his “green days” – double standards is the name of the game. Malta Today is just a tabloid, so why give them all this attention? They are just a bunch of hypocrites.
As for Karl Stagno Navarra, he had the makings of a good journalist but I suppose he stumbled along the way. And Robert Musumeci ..well what can I say? You had it all, Robert, and you blew it away.
