Ramson tries to make a mountain out of a mole hill

Mar 13, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write to register my deepest concern over the exercise of editorial control of the Kaieteur News newspaper and media house.
Immediately after the conclusion of the press conference with former president B. Jagdeo in the media room at Freedom House I was present during a conversation between the editor of the Kaieteur News, Adam Harris, and Jagdeo when Jagdeo questioned Harris as to how such captions could be printed in the (Kaieteur News) newspaper when they had the transcript and video of his speech at Babu John which would have revealed that he (Jagdeo) never said that the PPP was a “coolie people party”. Harris’ response was that he was not there (at Babu John) but in any event this was Glen Lall’s doing.
If this is indeed the truth as Harris has asserted, and I hope it is not, then questions need to be asked about Harris’ exercise of editorial control and power at the Kaieteur News newspaper and the underlying motive of pursuing an objective with the inherent risk of racial and political unrest that our country must assiduously avoid to maintain a course of collective national development.
I am, therefore, seeking a public clarification on the accuracy of Harris’ statement and his role and knowledge, if any, in the publication of the notorious headline.
Charles S. Ramson
Attorney at Law

Editor’s note: The headline resulted from the message conveyed to the reporter in Jagdeo’s speech at Babu Jaan. In any case, headlines are a collective affair. The editor would write the initial headline which can be adjusted following group consultation and consensus.
