Following several NetworkRadio broadcasts of an exceedly biased nature, namely the second and third posts of this report, the Pacific must formally declare a general boycott on NetworkRadio. We ask that you kindly take us off your subscription list and refrain from requesting any interviews of Pacific nations effective immediately. It is with regret that I must announce this, but I hope that in the not too distant future, these unfortunate circumstances can change when your reporters learn objectivity (or if you just put a partisan disclaimer on the reports...) Thank you, -Francos Spain UN Delegate of the Pacific

*sigh* Well, I'm sorry to lose such a huge region. Sorry Francos, hopefully we can fix this.

He's right, that report isn't even vaguely impartial.

Impartial? Well, that is bloody right. Sorry to see you go Francos but that only makes it so that I will no longer recive alot of IM's and t-grams from a multiple (over a hundred now) that says "Why are you supporting that dictator"
It will be good to see those t-grams disapear. I have always let those who want our broadcasts get them. And those who don't want them, be free of them.
Usually, not always, I tell the founder or the delegate (or both) that if they want our broadcasts they shall be aware that we don't always send "good stuff" about them. We broadcast news here. And every reporter have to make his/her decision how to make them. Like every delegate or founder makes his/her decision on who to kick out or not to kick out. Twinkles has my support in this.
It is your own decision.

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with impartiallity. It is about freedom to take any side you want. To tell the world that Corinthe is a loser and a whiner that she could not keep a straight head about it all. Francos doesn't know what free speech is. Man, his presence is a curse to every newbie that spawns in The Pacific. Anybody who wants to be delegate in my region can call for support, because I may be not a good leader. Thry that in The Pacific, and your next words will be in the RR. If Francos is awake of course He seems to sleep allot lately. -=Corinthe=-

He is above petty arguments in the boards. He doesn't send meaningless insults back and forth, he just takes action.

Or perhaps he can't think of a good reply? So much easier to ban people, then to have to think about a good answer.

Perhaps, I was just trying to think like a Francos, that's all.

I can understand Franco, I feel that taking a side is choosing between 2 bads, in the group that is against Franco there are a lot of spammers I wouldn't like to be associated with and all those n00bs that keep messing everything up are also annoying, on the other side we have a dictatorial group.

He doesn't send meaningless insults back and forth, he just takes action. And he is very diverse in his actions These are the actions taken, if he don't like you: 1: He ejects you. 2: He ejects you. 3: He ejects you. 4: He ejects you. 5: He whines to the mods and ejects you 6: After long considderation (5 secs), he ejects you. All the Pacific needs is a Delegate that sits back and doesn't involve in discussions. Those ejections bring real freedom in the Pacific *Very sarcastic tone* -=Corinthe=-

Regarding Francos' views on the unbiased news reporting, I have to say that I absolutely agree with him. It is rather irresponsible for journalists to take a side...objectivity should be ingrained in the morals of the journalist. Sure, many of us in the resistance have benefited from the biased newscasts, but what happens when a reporter decides he or she does not like you and refuses to report your voice? You become the same victim of bias that Francos has been. I'm sorry, I don't like Francos, but his point is definitely well-taken and I for one hope that NetWork Radio will ameliorate this egregious course of action in its reporting.

It is rather irresponsible for journalists to take a side...objectivity should be ingrained in the morals of the journalist. Although Francos ejected this nation from the Pacific and although I was rooting for Corinthe, I have to agree with Myrdinn. The last group of broadcasts on the glitch in the Pacific were riddled with statements of support for one side rather than an ennumeration of facts. This type of reporting is known as editorializing and should be marked as such. World News Give me an assignment and you can judge for yourself.
