  Thanks for confirming our suspicion all along that you were not fighting as an activist but as an appendage of NDC.

  Mahama and NDC doesn't need to whine over media if they think they've developed the country within their 8 yrs in office, by their works we shall know them

  Kwesi is right and just like in refereeing a match there is no neutral person. But there are honest and professional people who will do the right thing regardless. Everyone has their political bias so therefore does it mean that judges, teachers, taxi drivers, butchers and police will only work in favour of people of their kind?

  Are you a foreigner in Ghana. People work on party and tribal lines. It has to stop though. So the answer to ur question is a big Yes.

  There is no neutrality in this world. The word is truth. Journalists must speak the truth because you cannot be neutral. People who profess to be neutral are dangerous.

  I'm sorry but your stance is rather naive. You can belong to any political party but it's also possible to stay professional when your are dealing with issues. So far you have failed in that direction as a journalist cost you have been blinded by your greediness and corrupted gifts from politicians. You have already lost your respect and you may not be able to redeem it.

  How many times haven't NDC activists bemoaned the inability of the party to invest in the media? Indeed, as Kwesi Pratt had numerated, media practitioners all have their agenda. For instance, in the UK, you won't find me reading Express, Daily Mail, Sun or the Telegraph. I patronise the Guardian, Daily Mirror and the Observer. It is obvious that owners of media organisations have interests and belong to certain pressure groups dedicated to following their defined interests. If the NDC as the ruling party wants its achievements trumpeted, they must invest heavily in the media. I am sorry to side with Kwesi Pratt against my President in this regard. If you don't sing your own song, no one will sing it for you. The media landscape is overwhelmingly controlled by vested interests of the NPP. That's the truth. Even state controlled Graphic gives more coverage to the opposition NPP than to the NDC.

  Mr Kwesi Pratt Jnr was very right as usual. In essence no Agency must assume that their good works will be made public because most certainly the cabal in the media exists in reality. Political parties must invest in their own publicity media to convey their good works to the public.
  
  The interview with Ovation for, example, should not be carried by only Ovation Magazine - it should be carried by several media houses for what it takes. If one media house assume copy right over an interview of great importance - how would the message get out - unless one buys OVATION MAGAZINE?
  
  Parties and most especially, the NDC has done immensely for the nation Ghana and the interview significantly eliminated most of the propaganda from the Opposition about over-budget this and over-budget that. But, how many people will read the interview in reality?
  
  Has the magazine that conducted the interview got some copyright? If the means is there, every effort has to be made to break the so-called NDC, NPP bias papers.
  
  If this is not possible and His Excellency John Dramani Mahama is unable to garnish his Party to spread the message about the Party's accomplishments within this short time, it does not help moaning.
  
  My jurisdiction is between La and Teshie and with what I have seen happening on the ground, I will vote NDC anytime. I sincerely could not see how His Excellency John Dramani Mahama could ever lose.
  
  Nana said he love Muslims that was why he chose Dr Bawumiah exact same way ex-President J.A. Kufour loved Muslim and chose Alhaji Aliu Mahama. When it comes to when it matters, he fell flat on his face at the primaries.
  
  It would have been a nicer statement to say, he loved Northerners and not religious bias - pitching Muslims against Christians.

  If Mr. Pratt think he cannot work as a journalist he should declare his party colours and stop saying there is no neutral journalist. If you are ready to sell your profession to politicians do that and stop making this noise. I vehemently rubbish his statement.
