I suppose my blog was too short and incomplete view of the big picture. In-fact I'm more at odds against the so called fake journalism and media for making majority of Sri Lankans a set of ignorant idiots.creedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10323105270454228259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15701809.post-69954084152158034612009-01-26T11:50:00.000+05:302009-01-26T11:50:00.000+05:30Although I agree with you about your thoughts on democracy and war, it’s high time that we need to have a microscopic view of the behavior of those who called “journalist”. What we see here today that journalist are behaving like “Gods”. It’s true that democratic country needs to have the freedom of speech, but some of the prominent journalist and media organizations run their own cult, promoting their masters and sponsors and calling themselves 100% unbiased and totally free. Majority are blinded by this double game as they are to the govt war propaganda.<BR/>Unfortunately late Mr. Lasantha also falls into this category. The real issue is not that he’s strong government critic and sees only the negatives of the government. Anybody can have their own political believes and do whatever dirty work to achieve those. Then we call them politicians. Not journalists. When politician-turned-journalist Mr. Lasantha could not move away from his politician thinking of doing whatever possible to get power. I feel if someone tries to govern the country by the pen or camera is same as try to do that by gun.markmorissonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07311973584043025679noreply@blogger.com
