Hamza:

Again you have displayed maturity, this i like about you. By the same token
i intent not to start petty talk with you or anyother. My issue has always
been not to beat the enemy with the same wrath he used to beat you with.

I see myself as a broadcast journalist, whose responsibilty goes beyond
serving one person, but an entire nation. By so doing, there comes into play
the perception of serving each and every sigment of that society without
bias. My neurality should therefore be unquestionable to those to whom i
broadcast. I still remain neutral.

To my person, i have a party i sympathise with, publicly however, i'm a
neutral person. Like you right said;

" I'm surprised you brought in the analogy of the referee in a soccer game
to argue your point
>about neutrality. Simply this is so easy to debunk. Consider this very
>hypothetical scenario: Manchester is playing Arsenal and Keane [the
>hotheaded
>skipper] fouls Bergkamp, what do you think the referee would do? Stay mute
>because he is neutral? See, neutrality, especially in adjudication, is in
>perception. Everyone knows that in reality adjudicators do take sides - the
>right side by awarding penalties/freekicks to those wronged and
>cautioning/booking those who violated the rules of the game."

Ofcourse, i award penalties where due. I did write to you last year when you
were having the never ending debate with Halifa, and told you i thought you
were treating the old guy unfairly. Now, if i were a Jammeh die hard, i
would rejoiced in you giving the opposition a hard time. Another time, i
joined everyone in condenming the April massacre, in asking for justice.
And, like you wrote, i congratulated you for your take on the Budget speech.
Endlessly i have congratulated Ebrima Ceesay and others for their posting,
which in many instances were critical to the Government. A short while ago,
i agreed with Kebba Dampha, that GRTS should be better neutral and report
without bias. My dear Hamza, what more can i do?

I must admit, i do admire your energy and zeal in flushing out a government
you so dearly despise. It takes some balls to do so, and you and many like
you have taken that bold step.

I have a class right now. Will write to you in private later.
Hold tight.
Harona.
