Editor,

This is my first contribution towards the good work of the Gambian media because since I relocated to the West three years ago, I fully depend on you for good coverage. You are all tirelessly doing your best to see to it that as Gambians we are enjoying your positive coverage of the news from The Gambia.

However the outrageous and unprecedented kind of news coverage coming from the Freedom newspaper could only be described as a disgrace to the Gambian press. This is very unpleasant and rude and Pa Nderry Mbai should be told to respect the norms of journalisms and stop spreading unfounded lies and wicked rumours against innocent Gambians.

Stories after stories in the Freedom Newspaper are often covered with not only a bunch of lies, but also horrible sensational fabrication against innocent people that have struggled very hard for our country. Pa Nderry may think that this kind of behaviour acceptable on his part is funny and that he can go Scott-free by libelling and slandering others, but that may not be the case in the near future.

Bearing endless grudge and hatred against innocent people is not journalism and Pa Nderry should learn from other media houses what it means to be journalists and stop the endless lies. Pa Nderry also disgracefully splashing pictures of himself like an insane clown is laughable and am sure all journalists are now bowing in shame because they are somehow afraid to confront him (except one or two editors) who have doubted this monster insanity.

Many people found this very distasteful and shameful form of journalism and everyone must join hands to stop these monstrous activities destroying the name of our country by using the name of the Gambia press.
