Tajba u tahraq nghidu bil Malti. Possibli li ma ghandhomx gurnalisti tal PBS li huma kapaci jmorru barra min Malta u jaghmlu mistoqsija? Bilfors kellhpm jirrikorru ghal gurnalist ta kumpanija kummercjali biex imur Brussels jattendi ghal konferenza stampa u jaghmel mistoqsija? Imma bilhaqq insejt, li b'rihet hekk dan l-istess gurnalist tal WE tella zewg programmi fuq l-ex-kummissarju John Dalli. Hallas poplu hallas.

Imbagħad jiġi xi għaref u jgħid li il-PBS hu l-istazzjon nazzjonali . Dan mhu xejn hlief estensjoni tan-NET.TV u stazzjon ta' propoganda għall-gvern. Araw min huma il-kapijiet li hemm imexxu u il-prezentaturi u jkollkhom prova ċara ta' x'inhu il-PBS.
