There are reports that a Sri Lankan minister has been kidnapped by journalists (yes, journalists) and had to be freed by police. It seems Labour Minister Mervin Silva went to Rupavahini television to complain that it had not covered a speech he gave on Wednesday.
"A henchman of the minister pulled the news director" (I think it means assaulted) "and all employees are protesting, demanding an apology," Rupavahini's director-general said. So they locked him in.
It makes you realise what tame morons our own TV journalists are. Just imagine if a minister gave the usual equivocal exculpatory drivel to Paxman and they simply locked him (or her) up until he came clean. I mean: improvement or what?
