attacks on leading figures of the party, biased paneling of guests, and disruptive hosting of political shows designed primarily to drown and ereate doubt about the submissions of NPP representatives.
According to them, despite repeated assurances sinee 2023, the observed unprofessionalism and unfairness persist.
“For instance, a regular guest known for making inflammatory remarks recently insulted former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on a programme hosted by Madam Keminni Amanor,” he said.
They stated, strangely, that the host did not stop or object to the unwarranted attacks on the former president; “she merely laughed them off. She allowed them We invite the general public to objectively assess the panelling, hosting, and general coverage of the NPP on Media General platforms. They will see that these unfair practices exist and target the NPP.”
