They are real Maharajas

Sri Lanka Opposition Leader and the leader of the United National Party (UNP) Ranil Wickramasinghe who is at risk of party grip accused yesteroday publicly that the media company Maharaja was slinging mud at him since he denied granting one of their demands.

The UNP leader said that the media company had asked for two national list slots for their representatives at the  general election held last year.

Two Maharaja journalists contested the election under UNP ticket. Susil Kindelpitiya lost in Colombo while Sri Ranga elected from Nuwaraeliya quickly to change sides and join the government.

The leader of the UNP said that he denied granting the request since UNP was a people's party. He emphasized that no one could buy it. Who knows what happens in closed doors?

They are real Maharajas. They say 'We Report; You Decide' while they decide what to report. Not only that, they are in an attempt to decide the happenings as well.

Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.
