Disgraced Sanjana Hattotuwa and sham Groundviews should be ostracized online

For some among us stupidity is a way of life, its in their very DNA. Hence the repeated instances of blatant displays of stupidity and falsehood online.

As the scandal surrounding Sanjana Hattotuwa and Groundviews continues to unfold after they glorified Sunday Times, Lanka Truth and JVP backed LNSW’s false propaganda against our people’s president his Excellency Mahinda Rajapakse, Groundviews has resorted to removing and editing articles they wrote, but original article containing their false claims can still be found on Google reader.

Should you wish to clarify, here’s the original clip with both VIDEO and audio. Everyone must watch the real clip.

Sanjana Hattotuwa’s Groundviews (actually Gripeviews) is at the centre of a huge false propaganda storm that broke on the web during last weekend.  Anyone who is not sight or hearing impaired can see this plain truth. Perhaps not Sanjana, who thinks sour loser DBS Jeyaraj is a credible source. Really, this is all you could do, Sanjana?

It will be interesting to see some people retract their own words, Well.. I’m not sure they’re going to do anything at all about it.  As for me, I just ignore blogs that engage in false propaganda. But it certainly is a sad way to go through life, just endorsing and sensationalizing what other criminals do. Maybe the tweets make Sanjana feel good inside, but I’m guessing he’s just kinda sad he hasn’t come up with something correct himself yet.

This idiotic terrorist blogger is an example of anti Lankan propaganda carried on the web, not to mention his earlier site Mojo had to be brought down due to false info it carried. Dinidu De Alwis of Perambara did the same with many of his personal sites.

Sittingnuts, Srilanka’s most respected blogger is among the many bloggers that have called for public action against Sanjana Hattotuwa, Groundviews, Sunday Times, Lanka Truth and LNS, and made his displeasure known. Others have twittered extensively about Groundviews’ crime.

It seems that disgraced Sanjana picked up a crap piece from a Lanka Truth article and actually glorified in full to misrepresent facts. This is not all: Sanjana and groundviews are known for their anti mahinda anti lanka propaganda. But the visuals were out and accessible on the web. Either he can’t see, listen, and verify facts or he’s incredibly stupid.

Sanjana Hattotuwa and Groundviews raise other pertinent issues about accuracy, and the role of citizen journalism in Srilanka.  

Anyway, all these incidents underline a shocking truth: it is so easy to mislead the masses these days. Even an idiot like Sanjana can do a good job at it.  

Sanjana Hattotuwa’s diatribe: A sad but inevitable development in citizen journalism as he plumbs depths of yellow journalism

Sanjana Hattotuwa, the self proclaimed versatile and prolific writer, has preferred to ventilate his pent-up frustrations on the sad development in his yellow journalism career on his Gripeviews bog.

He has taken a higher morale ground and defended his ‘favorite’ yellow journalism initiative Groundviews as his conscience would not allow him to do otherwise. It is a matter of happiness that he has a conscience.

He alleges that “Media Raj” is a coward because Media Raj is a pseudonymous person. So how about the funny names we come across on Gripeviews? A Little Batti, Aufidius, Banana Tree, Billy, CHA, Citizen, Clean Hands, Concerned Citizen, CRep and so on here?

Going by Sanjana Hattotuwa’s own confusing logic, if Media Raj is a coward, then, so are most of Gripeviews’ authors. If so, this self-righteous editor is only insulting his own ilk, who together have supported him in keeping his otherwise tabloidical troll bog alive or he is humble enough to accept that his own bog is full of cowards.

So anyone using a pseudonym is a coward, Great!

I use a pseudonym myself, for some genuine and some silly reasons, people have their own reasons to be anonymous, but I fail to understand how that makes me or Media Raj or another pseudonymous person a COWARD, as suggested by Sanjana Hattotuwa, the great yellow journalist of our times. Even Lasantha Wickramatunga was known by his pseudonym “Suranimala” for a long time.

My guess is that because Sanjana didn’t have substance and couldn’t really say anything to refute Media Raj, he did the obvious; he branded Media Raj a coward. Again, how clever?

He has also blatantly and shamelessly posted on his bog, expressing his hold-no-bar anger, forgetting the cardinal principal of journalism that you should react to a situation but your anger should not be reflected in your write-up or story.

Being the Executive Editorial Director of the Groundviews World media Group, shouldn’t Sanjana have shared internally, his feedback on his goof ups so serious? Are we sure we are talking transparency & ethics here, or is it really about maturity in offering professional feedback to a constructive criticism in another site? I think such misplaced ego & prima donna attitude is silly, but then again, utterly unsurprising given the nature of the silly little NGO beast.

Sanjana Hattotuwa has not dared to reply to my comment. Two days ago I made a comment in less than 100 words but the holy editor of the Gripeviews world media site did not fit it to include among the comments though it did not contain any abusive language or carry any pornographic reference to his hacked and worn out sad dick, but it was critical of Sanjana Hattotuwa’s functioning as Gripeviews editor and Gripeviews in general.

I don’t think that Sanjana, a known name in the corridors of Pro terrorist NGOs and Anti Lanka conspirators is aware of actual developments in the case. Following the glorious tradition set by his NGO masters, he targets the president, tries to portray him a racist with no proven evidence. This has brought the ugly story of Sanjana Hattotuwa - the sophisticated terrorist.

I'm not sure whether Sanjana Hattotuwa is plain stupid or he wants to join other idiots that make insane claims without any proof. His only claims are based on heresy like this nugget from a little known website called Lanka Truth. Note the name, Lanka truth, my foot. LOL :) 

Sanjana's article is leading towards defamation of President as a violent crazed person without evidence and is cause for libel. There should be some effort to bring accountability into writing editorial pieces in Gripeviews and not some a$$wipes.

It was irritably nauseating to read Sanjana Hattotuwa’s article alleging that President made violent, unwelcome remarks at the crowd. Gripeviews, being close to the UNP establishment just spins the story so that all secular morons reading it would read it, spread the word and reach orgasm.

And by making ridiculous claims, the so-called citizen media is only adding false credence to the victimization mentality. We should not forget that there was an election and these statements were aimed at it. I don't understand why UNP has such poor media skills. Their leaders participate regularly in all the fake shows conducted by heavily partisan Gripeviews freak show editor.

I have never seen a more speculative article from anyone. Ever.

This non-sense has to stop somewhere. I’d like to see Media Raj give a detailed explanation, and indeed expose Sanjana Hattotuwa’s hypocrisy. At the minimum, it should be fun to watch the brave soul Sanjana getting owned by a coward.

I guess what I wanted to say was, Fuck You, Sanjana!
