PBS favouring the government - PL spokesman

A web to back GonziPN and which was passing subtle and less subtle messages in favour of the present government was being woven at Public Broadcasting Services, PL spokesman Gino Cauchi told a news conference this afternoon. He said that the PBS administration was made up of people who were within the GonziPN party or very close to it for the state broadcasting station to be used as an integral part of the GonziPN campaign. Mr Cauchi criticised the role of PBS in the spin about Labour freezing the minimum wage and noted that it did not report anything about the fact that Richard Cachia Caruana had retained the title of ambassador. PBS, Mr Cauchi said, had also tried to diminish the importance of Franco Debono’s declaration in Parliament last week, that he would not be voting in favour of the budget.
