The Description of the Video on Youtube
While President Mahinda Rajapakses speech was telecast
over Sirasa channel yesterday (Dec 23rd ) at 7.00 p.m. during main news telecast,
the teleprompter used for his speeches was clearly visible
and a senior member of presidential media unit has telephoned Sirasa
and threatened the media institution regarding telecasting the scene.
He had asked Sirasa staff not to use the same recording
for their news telecast at 10.00 p.m.
and has asked them to use the recording sent
by the presidential media unit instead.
He had threatened Sirasa not to telecast any other scenes
but only the recordings sent by the presidential media unit.
Hence, Sirasa has telecast the recording given to them
by the presidential media unit at their 10.00 p.m. news telecast.
Normally, the teleprompter is used only by news readers in live telecast of news programmes.
The news sheet is displayed by the teleprompter placed in front of the news reader
and he or she presents what she or he reads from the teleprompter
