What Toni Abela really thinks about Joseph Muscat
Just today, the fully-government funded newspaper called Illum that was also owned by Keith Schembri, released online a very vexatious and libelous against me and this press as it made reference to Judge Toni Abela’s judgement on Yorgen Fenech’s chats. In his judgement, Judge Toni Abela, referred to Saviour Balzan’s vexatious allegations against me in…

Actual journalists don’t attack independent journalists: propagandists do
I haven’t seen such visceral and widespread hatred by Labour Party supporters toward an independent journalist since Daphne Caruana Galizia was alive. Despite regular threats, public references to my family members (also subtle threats), and a visceral and hateful campaign against our work, no journalist in Malta has stepped up to come to our defence.…

No denial from Saviour Balzan that shell companies hide the real owners of his companies
Yesterday, MaltaToday and Illum issued a statement in response to my story that didn’t actually deny the story. The statement neither did it deny that Saiour Balzan’s companies hide their real owners through shell companies in the British Virgin Islands and Dubai. Even if he denied it, Saviour Balzan has a strong track-record of lying,…

Keith Schembri is a secret shareholder of Saviour Balzan’s media companies and owns 25% of Illum
There’s a very obvious reason why Yorgen Fenech trusted Saviour Balzan to do propaganda for him and help him attack his critics such as Jason Azzopardi. Keith Schembri, Yorgen Fenech’s friend and previous Chief of Staff to Joseph Muscat is a shareholder of Saviour Balzan’s media companies and even owns 25% of Illum. Keith Schembri’s…

Saviour Balzan’s propaganda machine keeps up its attacks against government critics
Today, in Illum, one of Saviour Balzan’s fully-government funded newspapers of his precarious media business, has published another caricature against a government critic. The target is Cyrus Engerer who chose not to contest the European parliament elections. Saviour Balzan’s MaltaToday and Illum are pro-Labour Party rags, and currently, MaltaToday’s favourite MEP candidate is Steve Ellul…

Addressing more disinformation about Rosianne Cutajar’s case by Saviour Balzan’s propagandists
Quite obviously it was Rosianne Cutajar who wants to re-join the Labour Parliamentary group, contrary to what Illum has stated yesterday. Rosianne Cutajar even made a formal request to the Labour Party which was never officially accepted. Rosianne Cutajar is not going to apologise and she is not rejoining the Labour Party parliamentary group. Mark…

Rosianne Cutajar has a history of attacking Daphne Caruana Galizia following her murder
I think I have overlooked this aspect when presenting my evidence against Rosianne Cutajar in her libel case, where basically, I argued that Rosianne Cutajar was bribed by Yorgen Fenech to defend him in both Parliament and the Council of Europe. Here is a clip below of Rosianne Cutajar describing Daphne Caruana Galizia as a…

The Labour propagandists have a problem with bad journalists
This is the second complaint in a couple of days from a Labour propagandist about bad journalism. The people complaining are not concnered about journalism, they are concerned about having their message being interrupted by actual journalism. I very well remember a time when MaltaToday and the Labour Party complained about “blogs”. “Blogs” ended up…

It’s the Maltese government that was in favor of spying on journalists not Roberta Metsola
Yesterday, Saviour Balzan’s pro-Labour rag, Illum, published a very bizarre editorial and caricature which I could not make heads and tails of. It started with an attack on Ivan Camilleri, a previous Times of Malta journalist who was accused of tipping off Yorgen Fenech before his arrest. I don’t know what’s the point of bringing…

Do you remember when Ian Castaldi Paris falsely declared to be a victim of arson and MaltaToday did investigative journalism?
This is quite a gem about the alleged money launderer Ian Castaldi Paris. He was once suspected of falsely declaring to have had his front door damaged by arson. I think this was also during the time when Julia Farrugia was the editor of Illum (Illum was always a pro-Labour rag). Mark CamilleriWebsite Editor Historian…
