Balance sadly lacking

- Sabie

I WAS listening to the SAfm morning show called The Editors on Sunday, June 21.

I only began listening late, so I have no idea who the various reporters were, but they were discussing the al-Bashir mess and one reporter, a black lady, made it abundantly clear that she supported the ANC’s devious endeavours in letting him escape back to Sudan. This reporter claimed that the United States, Bush and Israel should be brought before the Internatio­nal Criminal Court, sounding like one of the EFF members in Parliament with her passion.

Now I don’t know about you, but I believe a true reporter to be a person who never takes sides, but reports on every story with a balanced point of view, so I can’t imagine what her articles are like. AJM
