HONORED?

TV6, the "Thai King Honored"? As far as Media Watch is aware, Trinidad goes with the English spelling, not American, so that graphic should be "Thai King HONOURED".

And Raymond Edwards, at the end of your newscast, your headline was that Jamaicans are heading back to the polls for elections. But if someone was just tuning in to your newscast and caught the headlines, they would have got the impression that it's another general election. Is that what you were saying? And this was cemented by the fact that you showed a shot of Portia Simpson Miller, who was defeated at the general election.
Don't let the viewers go away with unanswered questions.

And CNC 3, why are you using a soundbite from the Works Minister at yesterday's opening of the new ferry terminal in your noon news? Just because you did not have a newscast last night does not mean it's a fresh story, because all the other stations used it, and it's splashed across the newspapers today.
