Pera,

the 'Leader' is 'exposing' GOSL corruption, but wants to keep mum on their corruption....
Sri Lankan media: Editor Sonali threatens to sue Asian Tribune exposing corruption in Leader papers
Wed, 2007-11-14 06:22
In a blatant move to prevent the Asian Tribune from exposing the backdoor political deals cut by the Editor of the Leader, Lasantha Wickrematunga, to get Ms. Sonali Samarasinghe, a journalist working for him, appointed as Minister to the Sri Lankan High Commission in Australia, she has issued a threat to sue the Asia Tribune.
The Asian Tribune ran the first installment exposing the background to the culture of corruption prevailing in the Sri Lankan media. In the second installment Asian Tribune promised to run next Sunday on ?How Ms. Sonali Samarasinghe got a diplomatic post by sitting on the lap of her Editor, Lasantha Wickrematunga?. The intention was to establish how political deals are made by newspapers bosses to get favours from their political cronies ? a corruption which the Leader would decry and expose if committed by any other member of the public.
Birds of Feather.....

This is how a TRUE LEADER talks.
Lt. Gen. Fonseka meanwhile insisted the LTTE can be defeated militarily.
?The President has stated he likes to convince the terrorists that getting a solution by military means is not going to work for them,? the General also said.
?We want to also convince them you can never beat us militarily and you can never get what you want by military means. We are capable of beating them militarily. We have done it one area in the eastern province.?
?And if still they don?t understand, we have to do it once more, hoping they will understand.? |
