The Minister is talking as if he is from another planet. The private media is doing exactly what MBC is not doing. Infact MBC is doing a deservice to the President and DPP by putting a total blackout on MBC to those they believe to be different from them and feeding Malawians with what they already know. My grandson was asking me this evening “kodi zowona kuti a president manja awo ndiwolumala, samatha kuwawongola, akuti alibe mano ndechifukwa satha kulankhula? Muzawawone pa tv”.

“He said the private media diminishes the role of the government in good news … ”

My perception as an outsider is that private media is ALWAYS biased towards left-wing, God-hating liberal views. And this website is no different, promoting wickedness and trying, through its writing style, to change Malawians to support wickedness such as the sodomy and abortion and to become against God. MBC may be biased, it is state-run so of course it is, but don’t think for one second that the “free media” is not biased. The media is trash, period.

I applaud Honourable Minister Samuel Batson Tembenu on his observation relating to the biases of the MBC and private radio stations and his bold move to ensure that MBC’s coverage is impartial, fair and balanced. Propagating propaganda deserves resistance, for it violates the most basic rules of fair democratic political communication. It freely uses lies and deception to persuade. Should people be taught to critically evaluate propaganda messages, then they will be able to reject propaganda as unfair and false. Carl Becker, quoting Edward C. Pease, explains that: “The democratic doctrine of freedom of speech and of the press …… Read more »
