Labour launches one of its worst attacks against journalists and the press in the history of the Maltese Parliament
Yesterday, Labour Party MPs recorded in the history of Parliament one of the worst and most authoritarian attacks against journalists and the press. They basically gave a typical fascist diatribe against “bad press” while applauding “good journalists”. It reminded me of another parliament session when Labour MPs such as Chris Cardona and Rosianne Cutajar protested…

Just another attack by the Labour Party’s propaganda outlet against a journalist
Times of Malta journalist Jacob Borg is one of the most hated journalists by the Labour Party so they don’t miss an opportunity to hit at him. Apart from sharing our full solidarity with Jacob Borg , we remind readers that ONE News, the Labour Party’s propaganda outlet is run by a fascist who often…

Lovin Malta refuses to disclose government income
Will Lovin Malta be ready to disclose how much of its income is from government revenues given that it is now promoting Andrew Tate? Perhaps it is now in the government’s interest to review how public funds are being used by Lovin Malta, especially since the platform is contradicting the government’s recent statements against Andrew…

The Nationalist Party’s track record on journalists since 2017
Since the Nationalists are smearing me with lies about my past, it’s only fair to be factual about their track record on how Nationalist Party politicians view journalists. This is Adrian Delia conducting a smear campaign against Daphne Caruana Galizia for his PN leadership campaign. He was compelled to swallow his words after she was…

Eve Borg Bonnello’s friends come to her defense with a dirty smear campaign
Earlier this week, a young PN politician smeared me on Facebook with very libelous and serious claims saying that I am paid a salary by the government in addition to having, according to him, harassed Daphne Caruana Galizia on a daily basis when she was alive and I was with Labour. I couldn’t believe these lies…

Are you tired of cartoon journalism?
Lovin Malta has released a cartoonish and weird interview with Alex Borg in the car. He recently lied about a government concession to a Gozitan contractor, but they didn’t ask him about it. Lovin Malta has great skill in getting cozy with politicians, but the champion in this category is Saviour Balzan. You can switch…

Imagine if we had decent journalists and quality journalism at the public broadcaster instead of this horrendous display of sleazy men
Earlier this week, the Labour-government propagandist Saviour Balzan delivered a propaganda show on the public broadcaster with Justice Minister Jonathan Attard and Adrian Delia. Literally, these are three corrupt men with shady pasts supposedly discussing between each other Malta’s most high-profile criminal case in its political history. I find this to be a representative display…

Over the top
I love the rule of law and the idea that politics is done morally, ethically, fairly, and justly without corruption, fraud, and lies, and I also believe that the law should be there to overall create a just society. In my line of work and during my investigations I always procure my data and information…
