I think we and the general readership knows to put little stock in these articles any more unless they contain actual discussions with named individuals. This article is little different from things which get posted here, on Yazoo, on SA, etc etc etc. O'Neill has stated several times that the media in PNG needs to be more responsible. In fact yesterday his administration requested that a gag order be placed on the media in the ridiculous Namah attempt to have O'Neill and others arrested. The court has thrown out these arrest warrants and stated that if necessary, they will put a gag order in place.
Yes, journalists do write about what they are fed, often about subjects they understand poorly. I think Cybers has it right. IOC needs to be feeding the journalists.
