Sign of the Times: The ‘Once Upon a Time newspaper’ employing lil-pickney
… and accusing its own reporters of incompetence

OLD KAI and many others have always contended that the information provided by the ‘Once Upon a Time newspaper’ was always riddled with inaccuracies and, in some instances, blatant lies. There are cases when you could easily see that they ‘mek-up seh seh’ stories to catch the attention of readers, especially with deh big and bold headlines.
When the ruling party, the Government or any other official or regular citizen expose them for their trickery and conniving ways, they use to bawl and beat up deh chest, saying how it was an attack on ‘press freedom.’ They use to always have a ‘plaster for every sore’ but now things apparently not looking suh nice fuh dem.
People getting tired of de lies, the ting get so repetitive that dem can now expect the format of the stories which will come in the news de next day. They can even picture de anti-government headlines and what de Opposition will seh.
Then they have a whole lot of reports which look like they were written by kids. Even de dem boys seh admit that dem employ a ‘child’ to wuk fuh dem. Old Kai hope de TIP people looking at deh operations closely.
Anybody who want to maintain dem credibility don’t want to work there, so like dem get desperate and trying to get the unsuspecting ‘lil-pickney’ dem to do deh bidding.
Pressure does mek people do strange things as after years of denying that dem does publish wrong information and try to destroy the credibility of innocent people, the once upon a time people finally crack.
The ‘dem boys seh’ now admit that the chubby one from Bachelors Adventure who is one of the few remaining senior staff still around as nobody else want he, is an incompetent. Imagine, this man is dem ‘crime reporter’ and you would think dem had sense enough to have someone responsible and capable to function in such an important position. But alas dis is what dem boy seh, “…He is a man who does investigate everything and half of de time he does end up wrang, but he don’t do it willfully…”
Dis is the kind of people the ‘Once Upon a Time newspaper’ have feeding this nation information.
Imagine the amount of destruction deh wrong news has already caused our society and deh apparently aint showing no sign of stopping.
Dese people aint got no conscience or shame and they still wondering why de newspaper not selling as fast as it used to.
When de Police expose dem for all the wrong reports, dem does jump and cuss de Police, dem does holler how dem get ‘credible information from a source.’ Well now we know who dem source is; it is de imaginary friend of dem crime reporter who apparently can’t determine the difference between a b and a d.
Is not Old Kai seh suh, is de own people from the ‘Once Upon a Time newspaper.’ So prepare for more lies and leh we pray that some day they will actually publish at least one correct story.
