Here we go again

I thought that the days of closing newspapers went out the window with the rest of the sewage. But somehow, someone has decided to go back to the old ways and "close down" critical media institutions. Up till now it seems that the action is in the hands of the police. When will these fools learn that this is the wrong way of doing things. There is also a right way. If you do not like something that I have said or written, first of all you inform me. If there is no way to reconcile on the issue, you take your complaint to the courts and we meet there and contest the freedom of speech and opinion. If I have done anything wrong, I am punished. You do not go running and calling someone you know in the police to come arrest me and all the rest. But have a hard head and continue with this childish attitude, journalists have the sympathy of their fellow journalists. The repercussions of these kind of things have a strange ability to find themselves reiterated very easily in the foreign press and suddenly all of a sudden, our supposed donors get to hear of them. And these people start to take notice and think; but was not Mrs. Johnson here the other day telling us of the amazing progress that was being made in Liberia asking us to help. Then they might wonder and say but let us maybe wait and see, and not go rushing into things. I do not even have to bring up the foreign investors into the equation. When you praise a white chicken the next thing you know, it will just turn around and roll itself in its own shit, and not be as white and clean as before.
