On fiscal discipline and public propagandists
I am very glad that the Finance Minister is cracking jokes about chicken analogies with a government propagandist on the public broadcaster. This should give us an extraordinary and unique opportunity to have a deeper discussion on the fiscal dicipline that the Finance Minister purports to espouse. We are preparing a Freedom of Information Request…

On the public broadcaster, we are now joking about public finances with propagandists
From calculators to Bibles and now onto chicken. Finance Minister Clyde Caruana seems to be on a mission to turn the serious discourse about public finances into a theatrical script and what best to culminate into this degeneracy than with the publicly-paid Labour propagandist Saviour Balzan who runs a media house fully subsidised from tax…

“I want to mess up Jason Azzopardi” – Saviour Balzan
One of the details revealed in court during last week’s testimony hearings in Yorgen Fenech’s trial was how Yorgen Fenech tried to hit back at his critics after he was exposed as the owner of 17 Black. The local press has been fairly muted about these details, some of which had already been published extensively,…

Public Broadcaster features Labour’s prime mercenaries hosted by ONE presenters
The Labour Party’s favourite mercenaries have been dragged on the public broadcaster for some regular ingratiation towards the Labour Party and its Leader. Joseph Muscat has been mentioned numerous in times in passing as if he already has been fully rehabilitated. Political commentary is being provided Robert Musumeci, the government’s legal consultant on planning (or…

The Labour government’s Viktor-Orban-styled manipulation of the press
When I founded The Maltese Herald , we started with three employees and myself. After four years locked in a Court battle with the Maltese government, I was finally able to tap public funding and received a government contract. The Maltese press is mostly dependent on public funding. When I received my contract, Saviour Balzan…

The political “debates” currently featured by the public broadcaster
The Labour government has effectively taken over the public broadcaster and turned it into its own propaganda machine. Its political debates hosts are all its supporters and the content has never been as dumbed down as it is today. Under the Nationalist administrations, we used to protest that the public broadcasting services was heavily biased…

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…

Here’s how Judge Toni Abela exposed his impartiality in his prohibitive Court sentence
Retired Judge Toni Abela gave an interview to the Times of Malta and stressed that the judiciary should be impartial. In his sentence handed in the Constitutional case to invoke the right to publish Yorgen Fenech’s chats, Judge Toni Abela used excerpts from Saviour Balzan‘s writings to describe my work. Toni Abela is an old…

Robert Aquilina’s wife requests Court to drop domestic violence charges and condemns character assassination campaign against Robert Aquilina
Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa, the Labour Party and the Women’s Rights Foundation have damaged years of work and advocacy about domestic violence and women’s rights after having conducted a character assassination campaign against Robert Aquilina on false allegations that he beat his wife. Robert Aquilina’s wife issued a statement in which she declared that she…

Leaking the personal cases of his critics: Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa
Police Commissioner Angelo Gafà has previously fired various police officers over accusations of leaking information to the press. Yet he has no qualms about immediately leaking information on personal cases involving his critics. Yesterday, very soon after a domestic incident took place at Robert Aquilina’s home, and his wife reported about him about domestic abuse,…

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.…

Daniel Attard didn’t violate national security because Roberta Metsola: Rosianne Cutajar
Joseph Muscat and Keith Schembri’s propagandist, Saviour Balzan, is supporting the rehabilitation of Rosianne Cutajar within the Labour Party. She is currently under police investigation for money laundering, but her host makes no mention of this. However, he did seem to be in deep and contemplative thought as she dictated her stupidities. According to Rosianne…
