Letter: What's the point of the story of the PM's new vehicle?

I wish to congratulate today's Sunday Express on its choice of lead story about Prime Minister Kamla's new car because it again confirms how accessible to and forthright with the media the Prime Minister is, even when the mainstream media is being trite.

Oh yes! The Sunday Express is being trite, since the article clearly mentions the Prime Minister is entitled to purchase the vehicle and to get a car loan if she wants. 

My God, it even points out that she bought vehicles before this one! I can't recall any media eyebrow being raised then, so why try now to insinuate something's fishy when all is above board? Maybe they'd have preferred if she bought it for a drug dealer, like someone allegedly did and escaped scot-free?

My take is, this is no slip-up by the Sunday Express: this is another salvo in the bring-back-the-PNM, fuelled-by-the-mainstream-media chorus. Or that it's fuelled by some other form of tabanca.

Thank God, the people of Trinidad and Tobago continue to show they understand where the mainstream media's at. 

I wish the government would show they know that too and stop taking the media's crap, because politics is war and sometimes in war, when you run out of ammunition or your gun jams, you does have to resort to throwing in the towel, or, if you're the "take no prisoner" type, throw the kitchen sink. 

If you read through the whole paper, you'd agree that it's not only the sink, but the whole damn Express house coming at the Prime Minister and her government!

I hope to God Jamal could jam up these micreants' works!
