Fiji Media Buries an Important Story.

Grubsheet recent post "A Poisoned Chalice"  highlighted the seemingly abrupt resignation of former Chair to the Electoral Commission, Mr. Suresh Chandra.

While Grubsheeet does delve into the process of selecting a replacement;
todays edition of the Fiji Sun, buried the story on Page 8, below the fold.






The article with the byline:Fonua Talei, didn't bother with actually naming the lawyer who misused the $2M Trust fund. However, the Fiji Sun liberally named a litany of other lawyers of note; as if the unamed lawyer was joining a prestigious club.

Grubsheet post titled "A Puppet Head of State" does raise pertinent and valid questions
concerning the contents of a Inauguration speech by a head of state; notwithstanding the accurate reflection of the current media landscape in Fiji. The muzzling of the Fiji media and self censorship on important stories in Fiji; doesn't bode well for the nation in the lead up to the 2022 Elections.
