Marino Zapete and Edith Febles 2 prominent reporters on channel 9 colorvision were fired recently. Their morning show El Despertador in which they appeared for nearly 7 years, was mainly an oposing voice to the actual government. The Duo were not specific as to why they were being let go, since the program has a large following, especially outside of D.R. where things can be seen outside of the Matrix. The only thing the reported said was: The powers that be, beat us. This statement has left many wondering If station and group president were pressured to shut the reporters down, due to the nature of their reporting which was always opposite to the government. If this is true, then it is a sad day for Dominican reporting since it seems that most news outlets simply go along with what the government wants them to report. These 2 reporters were very honest with their reporting and always backed up their reporting with proof and facts.
Would love to hear your opinions on the story. I guess with elections just around the corner, the government can't have these reporters poking holes in The President's agenda.:chinese:
