Sri Lanka It's Happening

September 1, 2005

There has been big fuss during the last couple of weeks over sausages. A super market in Borella is said to have sold worm infested sausages. The pathetic Daily Mirror has carried several stories on this matter, yet it has not had the courage to name names.

That is no suprise, the Daily Mirror is manned by notorious cowards who prefer They prefer soft targets. They frequently carry stories saying 'A certain minister was involved in such and such a scandal', or 'A certain company with a head office in town x has done this..'.

This extremely poor reporting habit does not cause any harm to the culprits. Indeed the Daily Mirror does not wish to cause any harm to the villains. If that were to happen their advertising revenues will drop. But in doing so they cause irreprable damage to other organizations that try to keep their noses clean.

So much so that one super market chain was forced to carry a disclaimer in several newspapers that the offending sausages were not from their outlets. It is said that the sale of meat products have dropped across the country, which goes to show that sometimes two wrongs can make a right.
