?Evening News? Ordered To Toe The Line

Is it true that....
The ?Evening News? newspaper has been ordered by the NPP Government to stop publishing corruption stories about NPP Ministers and officials not so much because the stories are not true, but because ?Ghana Palaver? with a much bigger circulation has been repackaging the corruption stories to the maximum political advantage of the NDC and the detriment of the NPP and following the failure of the ?Evening News? public warning to the ?Ghana Palaver? to stop using its stories, the latter having been advised by its solicitors that the ?Evening News? warring was a lot of bunkum of no legal significance so long as the ?Ghana Palaver? was not misrepresenting the stories and so long as it was correctly attributing the stories to the ?Evening News?, and is that the reason why the ?Evening News? has for the past six months or so not carried any corruption stories even though the ?Ghana Palaver? is aware that the ?Evening News? crack investigation team has assembled over 15 corruption cases, which the editorial committee of the ?Evening News? has been ordered to freeze action on until possibly after the December elections?
