Thumbs up for Bagoo

"UNDER THE chairmanship of Ken Gordon, who has had a school of journalism named after him and who has promoted himself as a champion of the free press, the Integrity Commission yesterday showed no concern over the unwarranted raiding and seizure of property from Newsday and the home of investigative reporter Andre Bagoo."


The excerpt above was taking from an article in the Newsday dated Sat 11th Feb, in which the article confirmed police involvement in the raiding of Newsday's head office as well as a reporter Andre Bagoo's home, seizing his computer hard drives, laptops, cell phones & other recording devices. 


Prior to the raid, Mr Bagoo, a known antagonistic journalist of the' party of the day ' broke a story about a rift among Integrity Commission chairman Mr Ken Gordon and Miss Gladys Gafoor. 

My question is ......where does this agenda setting end. Think with me for a while........the Newsday covered a controversial story & months later 'd police lookin for evidence one who is source is' MADNESS .........so just because Mr Ken Gordon own The Trinidad Express, the National Newspaper in Barbados, CCN TV6, Grenada Broadcasting Network, STARCOM Network and a host of other radio stations in various parts of the Caribbean ....he feel he is boss!! 

What happened to freedom of the press ....is it now wrong to inform the citizens of what is really going on in Trinidad. Its ok to have freedom of the press ...once you don't interfere with the 'powers that be'. Looks like little Trinidad may have its own Rupert Murdoch !!!!  
 Mr Bagoo, I say continue to educate the public, feel free to open our eyes to the those who act above the law and those who take on the role of puppet masters as they pull all the strings making the act look real. keep up the good work !
