DG,you sounding like a lawyer here

Just call a spade a spade, I know its hard for you on this one.Regardless of how you slice this,it is wrong plain and simple.

Not a lawyer, Ireton.

Though, I have had occasions when University Law Professors have asigned MA and PhD candidates for my guidance/counsel for their thesis, etc,; and lawyers do seek my views/opinions on certain issues.

My views on the topic for this thread still remains neutral.

These issues do have ways to work themselves out, as noted from past situations and examples.

Politicians and the media are similar to celebraties and the media. They need each other.

Wow, now he is a flea. Moseley was/is an ordinary journalist and that is all.

I get you on that one,however, one cannot remain neutral on these matters.

PPP/C Member of Parlia-ment Moses Nagamootoo in an invited comment to the GPA said, “This [the decision] is unnecessary and unprecedented, this kind of sanction cannot be the answer to issues of fairness and balance, this marks a new low in the relationship between the state and the media.”

What about it was biased. The Antigua media said the same thing.

To validate Jagdeeo. So the next one gets banned. What happens then?

Jagdeo should be demonstrate strength re: crime and security and not getting involved in these tender gender "pull hair" fights with everyone who criticizes him.

According to the KN report Jagdeo personally told Mosley that he knew nothing of this.

“I spoke with the President on Saturday after Kwame McCoy began calling up media houses and telling them that there was a ban on Gordon Mosley from entering OP and State House. The President then said that he knows nothing about this,” Moseley said.
During his informal conversation with the President, Moseley said, the Head of State even joked that ‘if they ban you then they would have to ban other people.’
...
Late last evening, Moseley received a letter from Head of the Government Information News Agency, Neaz Subhan, stating that the administration of (GINA) has determined it will withdraw his accreditation for coverage at the Office of the President and State House.
The letter stated that the decision was only limited to Moseley and not the other employees of Capitol News.
...
He pointed out that the decision to bar him for entering the two premises was not taken by the governing administration but instead by GINA.



Is Jagdeo talking out of both sides of his mouth or are the boys at GINA having a power trip?

Compounded with the Stabroek ads incident this is really indicative of an opressive mentality towards the press.

Why is that so?? GINA has a General manager who makes decision. Yu AL still in Dat Dictatorship mentality. Yu Al need to wake up to the NEW DEMOCRATIC Guyana.

Elaborate please.

At 10.46 pm on July 14, Nehru posted this:

Does anyone knows why the President did that to Mosley. Please, I think we first need to hear the whole story.

By 10.55 pm, a mere nine minutes later, Nehru posted this:

"I believe Mosely did file a bias report and should have apologised. That would have been the end of the story. You cant be wrong and strong."


Does anyone get the impression Nehru asked the first question with an open and unbiased mind, given that nine minutes later he arrived at his own conclusion?

I don't see any post in between his two that gave 'the whole story', so where did he get it from in 9 minutes?

To defend the PPP and President is one thing, but to appear as stupid as this while defending them both is really asking for a label of 'moron' to be placed where the name 'Nehru' appears besides each of his post.

Dunce, conclusion, do you know the meaning of conclusion?/ And Ayu rass claim to have heducation????

"When people feel powerless, they behave in petty ways. They become rule minded, and are over-controlling because they are trying to grab hold of some little piece of the world that they do control and then over-manage it to death"

GINA NEWS RELEASE.

After the humiliation that the Guyanese people suffered at the hands of the Burnham dictatorship, it is a shame that the PPP are doing the same thing as far as restricting press freedom goes. Only one state run radio station allowed in Guyana by the government, harassment of the Stabroek News, Kaieteur News, Sharma TV, Vieira TV and now the Capitol News. Typical communist tactics by using media censorship to control the masses. Thou shalt not criticize Jagdeo or be prepared to face his vindictive behavior in return.

C’bean media workers blast Moseley ban… ‘Sign of a crumbling democracy’

Caribbean media workers have described the move to ban Capitol News journalist, Gordon Moseley, from covering events at Office of the President and State House as the sign of a ‘crumbling democracy’ and ‘undemocratic’.
Journalist, Clare Forrester, from Jamaica, yesterday said that she never thought that it is possible that a member of the 4th estate in a country would be prevented from covering a public function in the absence of a criminal charge against that person.
“I am assuming that the President’s Office is public property and that Mr. Moseley’s job is to represent the interest of the public, a fundamental aspect of democracy. When a reporter is prevented from so doing that is the surest sign of a crumbling democracy,” Forrester commented.
Responding to the Guyana Press Association’s statement on the issue on Monday, St. Lucia’s journalist, Frank Girard, said that the ban imposed on Moseley from entering the Presidential domain is ‘undemocratic’ and an ‘antiquated’ move.
“In this day and age, when information has become a global phenomenon, there is absolutely no need to hinder journalists from performing their democratic right to inform, educate and enlighten the people, who are themselves the power brokers within the democratic systems of the Caribbean.”
President Bharrat Jagdeo, Girard said, has seemingly become ‘afraid of his very own shadow’. “The continued devaluation of the Guyanese dollar should be Bharrat Jagdeo’s major concern as countries try to cope with World Trade Organization rulings such as trade liberalization within the free market concept,” the journalist opined.
Meanwhile, the executive of the GPA yesterday met in an emergency session to discuss the banning of Moseley.
In a statement issued yesterday, GPA stated that taking note of President Jagdeo’s initial responses to its enquiries about the banning of the journalist, followed by the formal notification of the ban, the GPA is ‘now more than just disturbed but extremely concerned and wishes to point out that this move is worthy of the strongest condemnation’.
The Press Association is calling on the President, the Administration of Office of the President and his information functionaries to justify what was ‘disparaging and disrespectful’ in Moseley’s letter to the press on June 28.
In the absence of an ‘unambiguous’ and ‘justifiable’ explanation based on credible evidence, the GPA noted that it sees no immediate reason for an apology.
“The GPA can only conclude that Mr. Moseley’s letter was used as a weapon to punish him, not for its own content, but for the content of his report on President Jagdeo’s meeting with Guyanese in Antigua.”

The GPA’s executive has decided to call on all members of the media to support whatever action it deems fit.
“These actions shall be in response to this latest media-violation and infringement on the right of a citizen, more so a journalist, to exercise his constitutionally enshrined right to Freedom of Expression and at the same time inhibit his function as a journalist,” the GPA statement added.
The ban, the Association stressed, clearly tramples on the right of the public to access a messenger widely considered as a credible, fair and fearless intermediary between ordinary Guyanese and decision-makers.
“Let’s join hands in this battle by taking collective action in support of not only our colleague but a principled and just cause,” the GPA said yesterday.

Attacking andbanning a member of the media because of his views and articles, did we not go down this road before, and all decent people at the time condemned those actions.

Gordon Moseley was declared persona non grata, not for going hard on Jagdeo on the issues; but because of his letter to the media that was disparaging and disrespectful to the President. You would agree that you can be hard on someone without being disrespectful. And so you seem not to understand the issues surrounding Moseley.

On Capitol News' nightly newscast, of which Moseley is a player, the newscast is punctuated with hostility and very little journalistic decorum.
