Graphic Engages In Yellow Journalism

Skewed Ruling In Favour Of Paymasters

News Desk Report

Many discerning Ghanaians were of the view that Mr. Ransford Tetteh and his gang at the national flagship, the Daily Graphic, after attempts months ago to foist on the general public their hoax of the infamous homosexual story, and subsequently the reaction from Ghanaians, would have learned some lessons and not use the paper to do the bidding of their paymasters; but never.
Even though the Ghanaian Times in reporting on the recent cocaine trial was equally unfair to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mr. Paul Tawiah Quaye and his administration, intelligence information gathered, leading to the last Wednesday’s publication smacks of pure propaganda against government and the IGP.

According to this paper’s insider sources, the kind of editorial wrangling that led to the publication on the paper’s front page was unpleasant spectacle, as some believed that the initial banner headline to be used and directed at the IGP and the police was in bad taste.
Pleading anonymity for obvious reasons, the insider source who spoke to this paper, said, the Daily Graphic was absolutely going to lambast President John Evans Atta Mills and his NDC administration, suggesting that they have woefully failed to deliver on their promise to curtail the insurgence of the drug trade that had become common under ex-President Kufuor and his NPP regime.
“The said banner headline I will not tell you, since the story will be traced to me”. The fact of the matter was that, there was a deliberate attempt by some of the editorial stuff sympathetic to the NPP to smudge government and render the police useless in their efforts so far, for restoring some level of sanity in society, the war on armed-robbery and their persistent arrest of drug traffickers to be precise”; the source intimated.
Asked who the NPP sympathizers are, the sourse replied, I won’t mention names but as a reputable media house, you can judge for yourselves who these NPP hawkers will be.
“I was not surprised at all, when the police version was not captured in the story, because it was objected to, when some of the discerning minds on the editorial team demanded that the ethics of the practice be employed”, it pointed out.
“To be honest; our place needs a total shake-up else, the Daily Graphic will remain so, and shall be used as the official mouthpiece of the NPP”; the insider opined.
However, reports gathered from the corridors of the CID Headquarters indicate that, some operatives were prevailing upon the police not to hold their press conference, last Wednesday as planned, when they realized that the police were going to expose them for churning half-baked story and unjustifiably accusing them of a crime they have not committed, although the source refused to named the said operatives for fear of victimization, and possible dismissal.
Using the Graphic Communications Group as an extension of NPP’s propaganda platform, the NDC regime, since taking over the reign of governance, have received very bad publicity in the Daily Graphic.
In fact, special references can made to that fraudulent story published by the Daily Graphic where a certain NGO without name was captured to have registered some JSH/SHS and tertiary students in both Central and the Western regions as homosexuals.

The Informer has nothing more to say than to leave the NPP hawks at Daily Graphic for posterity to judge.
