Folks, As I was reading through today's issue of the daily observer, I ran across an article that was very disturbing to me. The daily observer directly curled Max Njie's story on the issue of the Gambians that were arrested in Kentucky and pasted it in their front page. This is disturbing for several reasons. First and foremost, the observer did not demonstrate any level of professionalism by failing to inform their readers of the true source of the story. To have fine prints that read "posted on the web" is misleading and serves only the sole purpose of hiding behind their hideous agenda. To take a story that was written by somebody, surely without their consent, and paste it as a front cover story on a leading newspaper like the observer is itself unethi cal. The ignorant nature by which their so-called journalist render their services is demonstrated by some of the misinformation that was included in the story. To my knowledge those Gambians arrested were residents of Lexington and not Madison as reported by the observer. Again they failed their readers by not conducting any behind the scenes research to boost their story but instead relied solely on one that was posted on the web. We've known long time ago that the observer is nothing but a state propaganda machine aimed at shifting away the real debate of the terrible state of the country from the gambian masses. If anything, there is much to report on local issues than haunting a story that is in it's incubating stage. But be well assured, you'll fail in your quest and you'll be sorry that you streamlined yourself with this destructive and myopic government. Time and only time will tell. -- Abdou lie Jallow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
