Babie misleads Ghanaians with her ‘gossip’ on TV

In an era where information is easily accessed via the internet and with the aid of social media, it is very imperative for media personalities to equip themselves with the right information through proper research before airing their shows and not just put out any uninformed news.

Although I’m not so much a fan of ‘Hot Gossip’ on TV3, I took pains to watch the programme this Saturday, October 27 and to my utmost surprise, the host congratulated winners of Ghana DJ Awards and called it a “great event”; an event which was not held and postponed due to technical hitches, according to organizers of the event.

In as much others would want to save her head because the show was pre-recorded, the question that comes to mind is, “Couldn’t the show have been edited as the they had well over 12 hours on their hands before airing the show on Saturday?”

Some of these practices therefore leave me to wonder if one can trust the ‘Hot Gossip’ anchor and her team to give us the right information.
