Cartel Watch just can’t be holding de tongue any longer. Something is going on with Ria Taitt of The Express, and it is worth giving a second look into.
You read, you read and you read Taitt’s political coverage, and over time you start to notice a pattern. In fact we’ve analyzed over 100 articles Taitt has written over the last few months. She clearly has an unrelenting reliance on Dr. Keith Rowley as a source and an inspiration for her stories. Wonder what is in it for Dr. Rowley?
Others have noticed that she even appears to have, shall we say… “special access” which is denied to the rest of our beloved press corps.
The Newsday has a story titled "PNM silent on Eric", with this sentence: 'Health Minister Jerry Narace, who is also PNM public relations officer, said the party does not comment on matters which are before the court or decisions of the court.
But when one searches, Ria Taitt of the Express has a story titled "...Happiness in PNM camp at decision". She has lengthy interviews with Dr Keith Rowley, party vice-chairman John Donaldson, and former MP Larry Achong.Thanks, Media Watch
We have done we research, and, yes, Ria will occasionally balance herself by penning a less-than-rosy piece about Dr Rowley, but these articles are very few, far between and rarely scratch the surface on such real truths. The evidence of her special access and apparently “special” relationship with Rowley is enough to raise we eyebrows and enough to wonder why? What an embarrassment for the journalists of sweet T&T. We must have a responsible and trustworthy “fourth estate” if we are to hold de government, the parliament, the private sector accountable. Do you trust Ria Taitt? We wonder what motives she has and why the Editors at The Express have disciplined her and held her to accountable journalistic standards? Perhaps we should keep our Cartel Watch eyes open for any “special” meetings with Dr Rowley and Andre Bagoo for the real truths!
Stay tuned for more on Ria Taitt and Andre Bagoo’s sensational journalism soon.
