After reading this news article I think grenada has become to sue consious instead of the government agreeing with the media to train the youths, thats interested in journalism, they are sueing and treatening to shut them down all this moneys and time wasting sueing should be used in creating employment and training for the youths . Grenadians is really sue conscious now I think this country need exorcism by a religious leader. Something is going terribly wrong down there you got big politicians acting like a set of teenagers with raging hormones, instead of acting like adults. and doing their works which is expected of them. I will say grow up to them your teenage years is over now act like adults. I think If you get this medias shut down they will be forced to operate underground. But if you keep them open when they say something you dont agree with you can go to another paper and set the record straight if thy dont want to air your story for whatever their reasons then someone else will always print it. Please give these papers the freedom of press so that you too the government will have the opportunity to defend yourself on this local papers and news stations. If you force them to operate underground you won't know what is being said or who is writing it because they will be running from you the government. which is better news all over the place about you or news that you could identify the source? ask yourself these Questions before you sue. this wont stop the bad press I think you should just take those opportunity to tell your story on the same medias that printing your business trying to gag them wont stop them they smarter than that they will go underground and sell their news about you and then you wont be able to identify the source so think before you sue.

Mr. Frazer, with all due respect, I too respect freedom and the rule of law which is why I will support these matters being brought to court and allowing decisions to be made by this important, apolitical institution. I will give my life in defense of freedom, but I am always cognizant of the fact that with freedom comes responsibility, and we need to behave responsibly and respect each others rights while we enjoy our personal freedoms. There is this balance that has to be struck. I am therefore calling on ALL the political parties on the island to behave in a more responsible manner and conduct their election campaigns with greater decorum and decency. The fact that people are going to court to settle matters is good and I will always encourage anyone who feels wronged to take that route as opposed to turning to violence.
