Dear Editor,
When the President’s meeting with Guyanese in Antigua was shown on NCN Channel 11 6 o’clock news, it was clear that he was very popular with the crowd and kept receiving loud and regular cheers, so that at times, he had to wait on the cheers to die down before he could resume speaking.
I, along with others, then watched Capitol News on Channel 7, which I have come to regard as the Roger Khan channel, as so much is broadcast about him, and when the part came about the President’s meeting in Antigua, I told those watching, ‘Look, you’re going to see something completely different now,” because we have all become aware of this newscast’s anti-government bias, and so it was.
They showed two speakers, who could hardly be heard, so that they had to raise their voices, because they were shouted down by the other participants. What Capitol News showed made you wonder if it was the same meeting.
No one can doubt the anti-government bias of this newscast, as well as that of the Guyana Press Association, given their stance and record over the years. The instances are too numerous to mention.
Yours faithfully,
John Da Silva
