Pandora’s Box
KAIETEUR News published in the letters column of Saturday 29th August a couple of letters signed by two mythical and mystical genies, because the contents of those letters are the intellectual properties of the Chronicle’s feature writer, Pandora, and they were first published in Chronicle’s Pandora’s Box before Kaieteur News published them, but signed by persons unknown to Pandora.

This is either an indication that persons in the nation are taking cognizance of the accuracy of Chronicle’s contents, as opposed to the myths, and outright fabrication of the contents of the Kaieteur News, or it is that the Kaieteur News is borrowing our material in an effort to publish some item that has a basis of factual and credible analysis, bearing in mind that its credibility ratings has been shot to pieces.

Now why would an entity that boasts that it has the best of everything want to borrow from someone else, especially someone that it treats and talks about like a poor cousin?

We at Chronicle have been branded by our competitors with every sort of uncomplimentary names, yet our competitors have no qualms about borrowing from us. Readers, don’t you think that is ironical?

But it goes to show that the quality of what we at the Chronicle have is better than what they at Kaieteur news have, hence the loan – unapproved and unacknowledged, that they took from us.

But we are very generous and are always willing to share, because we have in abundance what some of our competitors lack, which are the most vital qualities of journalism – credibility, brainpower, and analytic ability.

However, slyly skimming our features and taking credit, albeit under a different guise in the letters column, for our brilliant analyses, as opposed to the credibility-challenged output that sells suspense instead of news to a gullible public, is a no-no, prohibited by moral codes defining journalism.

Oops! Did I say moral code? I forgot that I was talking about Kaieteur News.

Now that is such a misnomer for the codes of conduct of this newspaper – a media house that would photoshop an old bridge built over a decade ago by an IFA then juxtapose it against a background to deliberately give an erroneous impression to its readers that this is a new bridge currently under construction, which is costing taxpayers $26.3 million, which is only one of a series of such falsity of information dissemination to the public in which it engages to sell its papers.

And where is Gorgon Morose-ly of Crap-ital news, who is said to be restructuring the Press-ure under ASS-ociation? I think he has completed the process, because it has gone from bad to worse.

And the Guyana Criminal Rights ASS-ociation? How come they did not applaud this blatant theft of intellectual property by one media house from another media house, since liars and thieves are the only humans whom they consider have rights?

Rumour-mongering posturing as news reporting cannot fool the connoisseur of factual information dissemination because, while a rose under any other name smells just as sweet, skunks going by another name still excretes unimaginable stench, and Chronicle is coming up smelling very sweetly, untainted by the bile regurgitated every day as news and analytic features by our competitors, and that is why Kaieteur News is currently “borrowing” our material and consequently the brainpower of our political and social analysts.
