Georgetown : The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) voiced their concerns relating to the ongoing and escalating abuse of the state media by the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP). The party which was once headed by Dr. Walter Rodney is part of A Partnership For National Unity (APNU), claims the state media have become PPP mouth piece.
While all other media houses covered the recent launch of the APNU, the Guyana Chronicle, for example, ignored the event. According to the Chronicle, it did not happen. Instead it used its pages to repeat word for word the PPP’s self-serving propaganda about the reopening of the Claims and Objection period. The WPA views this crude behavior as inconsistent with the norms of a civilized society and a gross violation of the fundamental right of Guyanese people to be properly informed by a media financed by taxpayers’ money.
Towards this end the WPA calls on fair-minded Guyanese to boycott the Guyana Chronicle and avoid the propaganda perpetrated by the state owned NCN.
