Why is the foreign media only focusing on 2 per cent of what is happening in our country, why not shift the cameras on 80 per cent of the country where the people are living peacefully and letting the politicians deal with crisis ? We believe that common sense will prevail and that the rule of law will return to our beautiful country. We agree that it is illegal what has happened. Do the media need us to create disturbance to be noticed? Is it not unique that if you look around the world today 98 per cent of our population can continue to carry on with their normal and daily lives undisturbed by the events that has taken place. Is this not the biggest news that such peace exists. Why does the media only focus on the small percentage of unrest and ignore the biggest and best part of the news? Is this the sign that the larger population are peaceful and law abiding? The perpetrators of this injustice and illegal actions are really only 1 per cent of the population. Give credit where credit is due. The perpetrators are less than 1 per cent of the population and are headline news. What about the rest of us who believe that the goodwill that exists in Fiji will overcome the evil and that goodness will prevail. Take your cameras to the rest of Fiji and portray the bigger picture of God fearing people.
