NFP Claim of Sayed-Khaiyum at Star Printery False

 

They got confirmation from Star Printery director that the claims were false and they covered our response completely.

 

They quoted SoE and also reached out to Dalip Kumar and NFP leader for a response but have yet to receive comments.

NFP must reveal their source, if not they are not credible – Saneem

 

 

They did not fully report on the FEO’s response.

Elections Office slams Fiji political party for spreading misinformation over claims

 

 

Reporting of our response is biased because of the wording of the article.

 

The article can be construed as FEO being defensive and retaliating because NFP has made an allegation when they could have started with what the NFP has claimed and our response.

 

The way ABC has reported our response to the situation can be found to be malicious and biased, using words such as ‘fiery response’ and ‘accusing NFP of spreading lies’

Fiji’s attorney-general, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, caught in extraordinary dispute just a week out from national election

 

 

 

 

“Flabbergasted by your allegations”

 

 

ABC had not fully stated our response as to the allegations made, for e.g. the date on which the ballot paper printing concluded, which would have completely quashed the claims made by NFP.

 

 

Did not fully report FEO’s response, however they did quote the SoE.

 

ABC also reached out to NFP, Mr. Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and Fiji Police for comments but have yet to receive a response.

8/12/22 Fiji’s attorney-general caught in extraordinary dispute days out from national election | The World

 

 

ABC has not stated our response as to the allegations made, i.e. the dates on which the ballot paper printing concluded, etc.

 

In fact, they did not report our response especially when we had done a press release on the 6th of December concerning this.

 

It seems as if the journalist had a subjective tone to the news, which skewed the facts made by FEO.

 

 

Fiji Times

 

Did not cover the story
