Thursday, August 29, 2013 will no doubt go down as a dark day for Journalist in Jamaica. This was the day that they were invited to a meeting hosted by the Minister of Investment and Commerce to address members of the JEA on the logistics hub.
This was the day they were corralled like cows on a Texas farm and chased from the meeting room following word that the Minister involved Anthony Hylton did not want them in attendance.
The love affair the media has had with the PNP is the only reason I can think, for this media allowing this type of thing to take place and I think its full-time they review that relationship.
I felt bad watching the once all-powerful members of our media being treated the way they were yesterday, it was inexcusable and I don’t know how this almost irreparable damage will be repaired.
If the media allows this one to simply pass, we can kiss the days of free and independent press goodbye. If such a pubic issue can become the subject of a private discussion .
Who is going to be the watchdog for the public, who ????????
