RIG to Right: Censoring for the paymaster. Fiji Sun chops & changes "Saturday Political Opinions" to appease regime; Sodelpa latest victim

PERVERSION grips Fiji Sun newsroom, as cartoonists have field day. First, it was Managing Editor/News Maika Bolatiki outed as convicted sex pervert, and now politicians claim Sun had been perverting words to alter meaning of their political statements

The regime's propaganda mouthpiece and $240,000 beneficiary of taxpayers money for publishing the 40,0000 plus signatures of the FijiFirst (Theft) Party has gone one step further - it has emerged that for sometime now, it has been alerting or substituting key words and meanings to change the thrust of arguments of opposition political parties after having invited them to contribute their 700 word "Saturday Political Opinion" column. The latest casualty is SODELPA. 
In his recent "Political Opinion" Dr Tupeni Baba wrote under
"Its Now or Never: Why is this Election So Crucial" as follows:
"Third, the   Electoral   Decree (Decree 11,2014)  under the current  Regime provides  immunity provisions for the Election Commission, Supervisor for Election and members of staff  of the Elections Office from  any criminal and civil proceedings for any act or matter done or omitted  which are carried out under the relevant provisions of this decree( section 3, Decree11,2014) in relation to the general elections. This means that if there were to be any orders  given to rig   the elections,  those  Elections Office staff found to be involved, would not be brought to court. This ridiculous  provision, in any way,  will encourage those who may be thinking about such ideas to actually attempt them."
Fijileaks undertstands that Sodelpa have lodged a protest with Fiji Sun for changing RIG to RIGHT in the published column!

We wonder if Fiji Sun journalists have also been altering results to give their paymaster dictator the lead in their Opinion Poll Survey?


"This means that if there were to be any orders given to RIG the elections."
BUT Fiji Sun changed it to read
RIGHT elections:

SHOCKING!

Utterly despicable!

These journalists are doing the bidding on behalf of their owner C J Patel who is directing them from Australia - Sundip Patel!

Fiji Sun is a disgrace to good journalism. This new revelation provides further evidence of how far the Fiji Sun has sunk.

what kind of people put in place a law like that : not to make anyone involved in the running of the elections liable for prosecution if he or she was engaged in criminal wrong doing?
only THUG RULERS! And that is what Fiji has in the Bainimarama- Khaiyum regime. This is all part of the plan to RIG the elections to ensure their hold on power.
They must be exposed at every turn. I give credit to Dr Tupeni Baba for doing that in this instance and of course FijiLeaks for putting it out to a broader public.
