Back when media had limited space, news was carefully prioritized. But in the age of unlimited cyberspace, the Daily Error (aka Daily Mirror) seems determined to prove that just because you can publish something doesn’t mean you should.
Did the monkeys attempt to protest against moves to export them? #DailyMirror #DM #DailyMirrorOnline #SLNews #News #LocalNews #DomesticNews #CurrentAffairs #LKNews #NewsLK #Colombo #SriLanka #poweroutage #CEB

If running a country was just about delivering fiery speeches and grand promises, the @NPPSLOfficial wouldn’t stop at 🇱🇰—they’d be managing global affairs, and probably colonizing Mars by now. Too bad governance requires more than just microphone theatrics and rehearsed outrage.

Even after 77 years, e Sinhala govt still can’t seem to find e funds to implement e official language policy. Funny how there’s always money for other priorities, but never for fulfilling constitutional commitments. Thanks, @officiallahiru, for raising this issue. @harini
My follow-up question also asked why @SL_PoliceMedia still communicates almost entirely in Sinhala on SM when Tamil is an official language. Surely, there’s at least one officer in the entire police force who can read, write and speak Tamil? The Minister admitted there’s a lack of translators in public institutions, blaming low salaries and calling it both a policy and technical issue.

Cabinet spokesperson promises to resolve the language issue in five years. But do they have a roadmap with clear steps and accountability? Or is this just another empty promise? #LanguageRights #SriLanka #Accountability @NPPSLOfficial @Dr_HariniA @anurakuma

Ah yes, by that logic, if a witness in a murder case goes missing & key evidence disappears, we should just shrug & say, "Well, that’s totally unrelated!" Next, they'll have us believe e getaway car had nothing to do with e robbery. Brilliant analysis—really top-tier journalism.
Let's get facts right! AG's legal opinion on discharging 3 suspects is NOT related to the killing of Lasantha Wickrematunge. Instead, it pertained to the abduction of Lasantha's driver & disappearance of his field notebook. No one hs been arrested over Lasantha's murder to date

Just to clarify, when I said "you," I was referring to those who protested in front of the AG's department, not Lasantha's family members.
So, you don’t trust e AG to handle Lasantha’s case? Funny, because when Tamils asked for an international investigation into alleged war crimes, you were all about how e domestic system was more than capable. Guess e AG’s dept is only trustworthy when it suits certain interests.

It is high time the @NPPSLOfficial government led by @anuradisanayake and @Dr_HariniA, with its two-thirds majority in @ParliamentLK, listens to the people’s demand for an Independent Prosecutor’s Office.
