As part of its new proposals against the free press, the Labour Party intends to create what it calls the “PBS Campus Hub”. The Government and the Public Broadcasting Services have been violating multiple articles and principles of the European Media Freedom Act. With regars to PBS, the government is breaching the Act by using the public broadcaster as a propaganda vehicle and for its lack of independence.
The Labour Party is not giving up control over the public broadcaster, as it should under the new European Media Freedom Act. Instead, it intends to use PBS to train and cultivate more propagandists. Effectively, the Labour Party is going to increase its control over the public broadcaster.
The Labour Party has gutted the public broadcaster with its propagandists and these include Saviour Balzan, Quinton Scerri and Ricky Caruana. Its newsroom is also a shallow service run by and with Labour Party supporters. The public broadcaster has effectively killed any reasoned political debate and reduced everything into one large propaganda show. They believe that because they feature as many Opposition MPs as Labour government MPs — something already measured by the Broadcasting Authority — the public broadcaster is therefore “impartial” and “professional”.
