Between the Lines

EXPOSED

Conspiracy theories make good television. But if names are mentioned without evidence, it also points back to the medium, for allowing the use of its platform to propagate lies.

PARTNERS

It's funny the “silence” on a visiting U.S. warship, even an embassy statement came without a photo and ironically, the visit is premised on a “Pacific partnership”! 

SECRECY

Two interesting adverts in a State-owned newspaper. They didn’t have the company logo or name, but the email address gave them away. But why the secrecy?

STARKIST

Did you know StarKist Samoa in Pago Pago is celebrating its 60th anniversary? The fish cannery opened its doors in 1963 and Samoans are among its 2,300 employees.

DREAMS

Chile was walloped 42-12 by Japan in their first RWC match in France this week. They hope to notch their first win against Manu at 2 am tomorrow. Dreams are free!

A KIWI
