Dear Editor,
I was watching the nightly Capitol News on Tuesday, December 6, 2011. The news item spoke of the collateral damage caused by police action against the protesters. It said the children of a primary school and those of a nearby nursery school were traumatised by the gunfire. I can sympathise with that and feel consideration should have been exercised. However, there was an insert immediately after showing schoolchildren huddled together and screaming and I could clearly see that that insert was faked. I do look at Capitol News and feel their newscast is viewed with credibility, but what they showed to us (the schoolchildren screaming, supposedly while gunshots were being ‘fired‘) was not genuine. I ain’t no genius but I know enough to know a fake when I see one.
Yours Faithfully
P Harris
