THE People’s Progressive Party has once again noticed that the Demerara Waves website has now openly joined ranks with the pro-opposition media in their continuing onslaught against the PPP and PPP/C Government by spreading falsehoods and misinformation.

The latest case in point regards its story captioned, “PPP associate ensnared in New York straw mortgage deals; being electronically monitored”, which portrays New York based Guyanese Ed Ahmad as a financier and operative of the PPP.

Similar suggestions were also made by the ‘anti-PPP’ publications Kaieteur News and Stabroek News.

The party, in a statement yesterday, said “the nasty attempts to link Ahmad’s activities with the PPP or to suggest that he is a financier of the PPP are nothing but absolute lies.”

“While we can excuse the Kaieteur News, whose editor Adam Harris is the former editor of the now defunct PNC’s New Nation and the Stabroek News which has clearly made its anti-PPP/C credentials known; the attempts by the Demerara Waves to portray itself as balanced has been dislodged by this latest piece of mischievous reporting,” the PPP stated.

The party said it wishes to make it absolutely clear that Ahmad has not made any financial contributions to the PPP/C’s 2011 political campaign nor can he be considered in any way part of the PPP structure or the PPP/C Government.

The party calls on all to note that Kaieteur News and Stabroek News have now officially enlisted the Demerara Waves into their pro-opposition media fold.

“Just this weekend, Demerara Waves’ overwhelming pro-opposition coverage of the PNC now APNU activities, served to confirm its bias and lack of objectivity,” the PPP said.

“This so-called News Service has just joined the fold of unethical internet blogs as confirmed by its unprofessional and unethical piece of journalism today,” it added.
