On the 4
th of
November 2013 I was contacted by many friends and relatives urging me
to listen to Hudson Samarasinghe’s radio program on a state radio
channel. I normally don’t listen to Hudson’s program because I perceive
it to be low grade cheap propaganda by a producer who has self styled
himself to be a wrecker of images. The words used in this program are
filthy and derogatory. And it is a hallmark of the defamatory and biased
political culture and tradition that Hudson represents. A political
culture and tradition which is reflected in the “inner man” within
Hudson blindly following the regime and their thinking within a culture
of governance which can best be described as being authoritarian. I had
to force myself to listen to Hudson’s program because it involved a
direct and personal attack on me.
