Investigative blogging by Taprobane Uncut

This is the latest initiative by Taprobane Uncut. Let me explain a bit, this is much like Investigative Journalism, a concept based on facts, research, evidence and reasoning rather than guesswork and slanderous articles. And while investigative journalism is traditional in most respects, Investigative Blogging is the Web 2.0 hipster version of it. Simply put, its investigative journalism through blogging.

Fair to say my inspiration was investigative journalist Christiane Amanpour. Investigative blogging is a concept introduced by Taprobane Uncut to the Srilankan Blogosphere, alas, a familiar concept overseas. TU will expose the bad and the ugly with evidence and unquestionable credibility.

It has become fashionable to talk of media freedom and the government corruption while in fact it is those NGO paid traitors who are engaged in such activities. So much for media freedom and governance and accountability?

For instance Sanjana Hattotuwa’s Gripe views Yellow Citizen Journalism initiative censored all my comments directly questioning his hypocrisy. Then there are other smaller minions who plague the Srilankan blogosphere with their biased views, thus leaving the reader and the general masses in a state of confusion.

Indi Samarajiva may well be considering de listing this blog from Kottu by now, but heck, he’s free to do that if he so wishes. This, in case I am banned from Kottu for my Investigative Blogging. Let’s see how this media freedom advocate treats this blog in the future.

Let me conclude this prelude to what I intend doing. Real Investigative Blogging will start from next week.
