Does not the US listen to the media in Sri Lanka if it cares so much for “media freedom”? The Prageeth Eknaligoda case was solved; it was exposed as A FAKE by the Island paper by its Political columnist, causing an uproar (amongst other things exposed was the fact this Prageeth Eknaligoda was not even a journalist, but anyone who “writes” something can be a journalist -even people who do not). As for Siyatha; it is a failing media station which no one listens to and is heavily in debt, its clear they working with the UNP have followed the Sisrasa script on this one (in collusion with the West/US) as they are partners (against Sri Lanka). So the reality is Western countries are the ones orchestrating and staging “attacks” to have reasons to attack Sri Lanka with, just as how they orchestrated all those Tamil “protests” (regardless of being illegal and violent) out side Sri Lanka and allowed them to function non stop to try and save the LTTE leaderships while in Sri Lanka the West orchestrated in partnership with the LTTE the engineering of humanitarian catastrophe. Just shows the Wests real love for “freedom” and “democracy” -it is a huge deception, what really matters to them is their dominance and interests and in Sri Lanka such is guaranteed through the LTTE (now gone) and a servile Government in Colombo (Ranil/Colombians/Fonseka). They even bank rolled Fonseka, green lighted his Military dictatorship (which they would fund, like in Panama) and “authorised” the use of election violence to reduce voter turn out to lower the margin of difference + discredit the election (as they knew though their NGOs like CPA that Rajapakse would win, hence why the violence was primarily in areas where Rajapakses support base –which include dense population areas of the country which translates into hundreds of thousands of votes).

Most importantly this is an internally matter for Sri Lanka, what has it got to do with them? When the UNP was actually destroying the few media which opposed it (which were extremely popular unlike the staged attacks against unpopular bankrupt, zero credibility media of today) the West said nothing. After all the UNP/Ranil/Colombians/LTTE are the Wests puppets, they can say and do whatever they want, kill as many as they want, so long as they ensure the Wests dominance and interests. During Ranils 2002-04 period many journalists and papers which were against the betrayal of the nation by the CFA were branded “enemies of the peace process” and attacked, Upali papers was fire bombed and best of all was that in this period both State and Private media (majority of private media being owned by the UNP lackeys/Colombians) were singing songs and doing what Ranil told them –which meant there was NO alternative media in Sri Lanka and NO negatives about Ranil and his corrupt regime, yet Ranil still lost elections. Despite the relentless attacks by the huge section of todays “private” media owned by UNP zombies against Rajapakse based on nothing (e.g. fabrications, or out right lies driven by cheap political desires that sacrifice the COUNTRY all of which has led to these attacks becoming impotent and such media loosing credibility), Rajapakse has become even more popular.
