  Indeed, many of our journalists may be poorly educated and intellectually dishonest but what then is the duty of the Press Commission? I thought it was to check issues like these that there's always the need for oversight institutions. But what do they do?

  I am not surprised. Yesterday after close of work I made a stopover at a popular spot where friends gather in the evening to cool off after a hard day's work.I was totally disappointed when well educated friends of mine bought into the idea that the lady who was with Castro is a mermaid.All attempt to let them understand that she was identified as Janet Bandu and that she is real human being was not taken by my colleagues so I had to leave them with a feeling of sadness.

  Berekum,who calls himself Kofi Adoma!
  But embellishment and exaggeration aside, I find it hard to believe that certain media outlets in this country, ,will go out of their way to concoct malicious stories just to create disaffection, and possibly social upheaval in the country!
  the situation you describe is also commonplace here in the diaspora,where seemingly educated people - Drs; Attys Univ Profs and other professionals - fails to read between the lines in many a false reportage, posted on the net. And these are colleagues of mine who take issue with opinion pieces expressed in the NY Times,Wall Street Journal,The Toronto Globe & Mail or the Washington Post.

  We simply believe in lies. That is why the nation is stagnant.

  Shame does not begin to describe the quality of what passes as journalism especially on some of our radio stations! I am frightened by the nonchalant attitude and ignorance of some of the interviewers and discussants on panels. The potential for mischief and anarchy they can cause in our society is what really disturbs me. It has happened in Rwanda, Kenya, and elsewhere, folks!
