It's really great to see the prime minister speaking about this issue. If the previous regime was still in power, the ''so called journalists'' names he mentioned would probably be missing (sudu van ) or dead for uttering one word against the regime. The prime minister is calling out the bias of some media people because the brand of journalism they're following are taking dangerous directions.
Put the politics aside. I have no side. I criticized Mahinda many times. BUT THIS MAN IS NO LEADER !!!! This man talks like a small kid. Who elected this joker to be the Prime Minister of our country ?

Shame on you, Mr. Prime Minister. Didn’t you all talk big about media freedom before getting into power? You may be the Prime Minister, but you can’t control printed or electronic media and intimidate them to write according to your whims and fancies. Your lashing out at media in the Parliament shows only your ugly, vindictive character. Keerthi is the only source for people to get some information about security issues and for your information, he receives more respect from people than you. Since when reading a news item become a crime in this country? If you don’t like the news item, you should blame your Minister Sagala Ratnayake for stating such an absurd excuse making the President a laughing stock in front of the whole country. Chathura only read the news item and the newspaper only published what your Minister said. I think this was said purposely to insult the President. By highlighting this in the Parliament, you gave unnecessary prominence to the absurd statement made by Sagala. I am just asking, did you do it deliberately? Your ‘naming and shaming the media’ is very abusive and bullying and it is a below the belt fear tactic exercised to incite fear and shut the mouth of media. When are you going to learn to be diplomatic and not talk in anger on mundane issues, like Reeri Yaka demanding blood from journalists? With or without your knowledge, you are proving the country that you are not suitable at all to hold the High Office. Reeri Yaka….. shame on you, Mr. Prime Minister, you talk like a street vendor.
