POOR LOCAL GOV'T COVERAGE

Here's another comment on the issue from the same person.

"As I noted some time ago, the local government consultations proceed without investigation by any media house. A good example is the recent one held in Diego Martin. From someone who was there, I learnt that most of the audience comprised party groups in the constituency, disgruntled Corporation workers and a sprinkling of residents. But you would never guess from the news coverage we got.
Only clips and quotes from Hazel Manning. Steups! There are so many issues, pertinent to the audiences, bubbling under the surface in all the Corporations and begging to be exposed.
But I heard a senior journalist comment that news comprises facts...imagine that! Figures though..."
