The fallacy by Freddie Kissoon

FOR a so-called ‘academic’, Mr. Freddie Kissoon has disappointed, and at the same time, amused me with the logic he has used to attack Hits and Jams over Jamzone adverts. It is by far the most intricately complex guessing game that I have ever witnessed in writing, I applaud you. Is this because Mr. Kissoon was not acknowledged on International Night at the stadium? If you have not taken a look around the Caribbean, it is a norm for an international affair, such as Jamzone was, to be government subsidized. Your baseless arguments are an insult to the journalism profession.
Then he speaks of a money trail; one that is supposed to lead you to the government. I have noticed that he speaks only of the government ads, which, for clarification sake, came mainly in the form of concessions. Then he presumptuously speaks of logical deduction; herein lays the joke of the year. Mr. Kissoon concluded, and I’m sure he discussed this with Aesop, that because 60% of Jamzone was funded through sponsorship, it automatically means said sponsorship came from the government. He must have noticed, since he seemed to be stalking Jamzone very closely, the other million non-governmental sponsors; like Digicel. Is Digicel clandestinely plotting with the government and Hits and Jams? Come on reporters, Mr. Kissoon is calling on you all to investigate. I suggest that Mr. Kissoon investigate the pages of a language argument book and look up ‘fallacy’ before he concocts another crafty, purely imaginative fib.
