DA is silencing the media?

[Fudzy]

The DA's blacklisting of a Sowetan journalist is an attempt to silence media who do not favourably report on the party, the ANC said on Sunday.

Quite suprised no one has posted anything on this yet? Looking forward to the DA's multimillion rand investigation/press release on how the 2009 interview in question was misinterpreted.

Pretty sure this has been talked to death already. The journalist was blacklisted because of multiple offences of distorting the truth, not unlike the ANC is doing now.

Thanks OC I thought I'd heard about this story being spoken about before today.

Yep, so it seems. I've RBP'd it asking to have it merged with the other thread.

How does the DA's decision to avoid one particular biased journalist equate to their "silencing the media"?

I was more interested in the 2009 incedent.

Why do you say that? No one has been able to answer my question. I realised the context of the article has been about before but no mention of the 2009 incedent.
