T&T: The biter bit

PM Manning and members of the Opposition want the Trinbago media to do "full broadcast of the proceedings of Parliament" in order to prevent the media from "misrepresenting, quoting statements out of  context and publishing only sensationalist accounts of the proceedings in Parliament."

Independent Senator Kenneth Ramchand charged the media with "censorship," declaring that "it had 'by accident' turned out to be the biggest censors." Ramchand wants an “oral equivalent to Hansard,” and complains that "he had attempted in vain to persuade 'editor after editor' to  devote two pages to the reporting of Parliament. Noting that reporters left the Parliament after 4.30, he lamented:  'Ask any reporter, ‘what yuh doing’ and they would say ‘Ah looking for a story'."

Trust T&T to be different.
