Nagamootoo retorted that both entities were used as “propaganda machines”. He said that since the entities were misused in that regard, that in itself, shows that monies were wasted for the wrong purpose. The Prime Minister once again hinted at Government taking legal action for the abuse of the Contingencies Fund.

....

Prior to Government’s accession to Office, it had chided both agencies for unfair coverage.Minister of Tourism, Catherine Hughes, had argued during the 2012 budget debates that the operations of entities, “represented a misuse of taxpayers” dollars.According to Hughes, “It is clear that NCN under the PPP, did not fulfill the mandate of a public service or national broadcaster and therefore should not be receiving together with GINA, a total of more than $211M” as was outlined in the 2012 budget estimates.

What a fool and con.  One would have expected something more tangible than his view whether the use of the institutions fair and balanced.
