PM: ‘Fazeer’s dismissal was not an attack on press freedom’

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says the dismissal of talk show host Fazeer Mohammed is not an attack on press freedom. Mohammed’s  dismissal from State owned media house Caribbean New Media Group (CNMG) was as a result of a cost cutting initiative, Persad-Bissessar has insisted. She made the statement this morning at the Piarco International Airport following her return from an overseas trip. A realignment of resources, is underway she said.
