CNN UNENDING WARS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP



Ethics holds the key in battle against Trump attack on journalistsIt is clear the Cable Network News (CNN) once the pride of media reportage has totally lost its touch as a result of their obsession with bringing down President Donald Trump. Now, Al-Jazeera has taken the lead with focused, mass, ethical reportage. It is painful, but true. The CNN did well prior to the arrival of the Trump era; but now it is shameful watching their reportage centre on insults and denigration of the person and character of the US President. Why would you not expect such a man trapped already by his own shortcomings—not to react wildly? The CNN has lost not only its unique professional touch, it has also brought to question its integrity and managerial governance. Many of us who enjoyed the CNN for its remarkable corporate transparency, authority, exceptional leadership style and strict adherence to excellence are now wary of the kind of dirty practice that is being unveiled before our very eyes. In maintenance of good corporate zeal and balanced journalism, CNN has no business trading sinister tackles with their President; there is so much they can focus their energy on. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are not losing revenue. The BBC has retained its corporate practice and excellence; they have their own President Trump in Boris Johnson, but look at the decent manner they are covering his activities. CNN is facing ethical dilemmas no doubt. Their reporters may well be facing personal scrutiny as well; it is time to question their dignity. There is no longer innovation or creativity; the CNN cannot enjoy pecuniary gains by resorting to hagiographic journalism; this is base reporting and unhelpful to the Americans. It is even clearer their editorial focus is heavily skewed in favour of the democrats; their wholesale massacre of the personality and character of the President is unhelpful to whatever cause they are fighting; their whole editorial content lavished on one man: Trump! Dull as the President is, America is not short of bulwarks to checkmate him. Now with over 52,000 horrific deaths and still counting, what is the gain of the CNN? They must stop their antagonism of the Trump Presidency; it is an alchemy that won’t work; two wrongs cannot make a right just as two captains cannot stay in the same ship. The practice of journalism as currently done by the CNN is out rightly unprofessional; it cannot even qualify for any known business model; it cannot foist goodwill or persuade the general public; it is sad, the giant CNN hitherto known for their mitigating efforts and  paradigm shift has unwittingly become enmeshed in unprofessional acts. “Each time I tune to CNN my stomach turns; I simply rush to Al-Jazeera for satisfaction”, said an anonymous fellow. And it’s like this in many countries. The CNN must not create its own pandemic. The corona virus is enough.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...
