SEVERAL reporters were chewing their cuds while the President of Guyana was speaking at the most recent press conference at the Presidential Secretariat.As a teacher, I demand that my students empty their mouths of chewing gums during my lessons. I see chewing in public as a very bad and distasteful, no pun intended, habit. And I believe that this habit displayed by the nation’s top journalists was unprofessional, to say the least.
To be chewing gum (I assume it was gum they were chewing) in the presence of His Excellency does not reflect the high standards demanded from reporters anywhere in the world. I would have simply asked them to leave.
