Shame on you Lankaenews

How Lankaenews has responded to the allegations against Sunanda Deshapriya has been deplorable.

Sandaruwan and the Lankaenews folks don't need to defend Deshapriya just because he supported them when they were in trouble. They don't need to defend him because he even bought them computers to do their work. They don't have to defend him because he spent his personal money to ensure they didn't get shut down.

They don't have to do any of this. But what they did owe Deshapriya was unbiased, impartial reportage on the issue. That is what he spent all his time teaching the journalists of this country to do.

Instead, they attack him without evidence, simply because Uvindu the Snake asks them to. They write scathing features calling him a liar and a thief without any evidence whatsoever. They do not even bother to contact Deshapriya for his response.

At the end of the day, Sandaruwan is no different from those asslickers at Lake House. He is not a journalist, nor is he interested in ethics. He is just a propaganda tool for others to use. He has shown himself to be an opportunist who would sell his own mother for a sensational story.

Perhaps Deshapriya's weakness is that he is a bad judge of character.
