Dear
Liberian Entertainers,
For the
past five years, Liberian Entertainment Media has been in a constant battle
with entertainers who have tried to silence media.
‘The
media’ is an incredibly powerful way to send information and messages to
specific groups of people, a particular society, or just about everyone on the
planet. Liberian entertainment bloggers
have done just that within the last few years.
For
most of our entertainers, they assumed that the role of Liberian entertainment
bloggers should be rendering Public Relation services to all entertainers (a
very big misconception). With that
misconception in mind, they have tried to control what is put out into the
public about them, by bullying the bloggers. This needs to stop
immediately. They have abused, they have
threatened and disconnected themselves, but these tactics haven’t worked and
they are not going to work.
With
over 95% of Liberian Entertainment bloggers being females and 95% of Liberian
entertainers being males, using sexual intimidation to control the media has
been the number one technique of our entertainers. They have threatened to expose
our sexual activities, threatened to go live and lie about our sexual
activities, insulted us sexually online and used their current female partners
and friends to come after the female media personalities. This is very disgusting and needs to stop
immediately. It is a sign of totally
weakness.
Democracy
depends on a free and independent press, which is why all tyrants try to squelch
it. Are the male entertainers of our
industry tyrants? We have a court system. If you believe a blogger is slandering
your character with false information, use the legal process. You can threaten the media directly, you can
bypass the media and run to the next new and upcoming blogger you believe you
can manipulate, you can sexually assassinate female media characters, you can
try to turn the public against the media, one thing I know for sure, you will
never silence C Liberia clearly or bend the pen of our writers.
2018
is a new year. It is a year of growth
and higher standards. Please learn the
business and understand the roles of the media and how they affect your career.
There is no room left to play. We must
work harder to improve our industry.
Stay blessed and let us all grow together in unity and peace.
