We noticed another funny'Word Play' by their news editors. You may remember their earlier decision of omitting the word 'Mr' from their news stories, as a protest against the GOSL's request to stop using that title for LTTE leaders.
This time they are reporting the death tolls in north eastern war, as
a summation of LTTE deaths and security forces deaths. In todays
headlines, Sirasa
Reported, '31 people died in fightings escalated in north and east'
At the very later part of the story, they revealed 25 out of them are
LTTE cardres.
Sirasa seems to be expecting 2 things. One, they are trying to see no
difference between those brutal terrorists, and the Sri lankan forces.
They are trying to paint such a picture in the minds of their viewers.
Two, they are purposely degrading the success of military operations
against the terrorists, in the north. All in all, Sirasa seems to be
continuing their role of being the 'Voice of Tigers' among the Sinhala
audience.
