He must spend all his time trying to figure out new and wonderful ways of provoking publc response....regardless of negative or positive.
It's time that the media gave him the boot.

Ranil Monday, 06 September 2010 02:45 PM

The Media helped to build this Joker's image. Just blank him out. He will become History.

arshad Monday, 06 September 2010 10:12 AM

Do not get scared DM, public is with you. do not cover any events he attends and see he is exposed of all his wrong doings

AMICUS Monday, 06 September 2010 09:37 AM

WHAT THE MEDIA SHOULD DO IS BLACK HIM OUT OF COVERAGE ALTOGETHER, AS HE WISHES TO HANKER AFTER PUBLICITY WHETHER ADVERSE OR NOT.

Dinu Monday, 06 September 2010 09:35 AM

This is what happens when a monkey is given a garland.

The best is to ignore and not give him any publicity on both printed and electronic media and avoid covering any event that he is involved.

Yes, He will speak only to boneless media institutions who attempts to promote him as a star. Never mind DM, keep your work impartial as before.

suwimal Monday, 06 September 2010 07:18 AM

He is above the law, vicariously. Otherwise, how can he order the journalists to leave a public place?

shavantha Monday, 06 September 2010 07:06 AM
