The media is a backbone; the media is the soul of the country\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he insinuated that most journalists do not even know the definition of media, thinking it is a singular word. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop smiling and looking at me funny, why are you looking at me funny? Some of you don\u2019t even understand the word media. Media is a plural word. One is medium, media is plural\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that because the media lacks objectivity in its reportage, it is difficult for the nation to progress and until they get their jobs right, then there will be no change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is truth? Original information.  If this original information does not get to the object as it was told, then the truth has been altered&#8230;.That is your job, how are you telling the truth, sensationalism!&#8230;..Until your minds have changed, your community can\u2019t change neither can your nation change&#8230;&#8230;. Get your jobs right\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-HSyh7n3IlM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 39 updated by: 39 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 18 October 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-10-18 play videoMajid Michel, Actor &#13; Award-winning actor Majid Michel has angrily lashed out at the media saying they don\u2019t know and understand their job well as journalists.
