    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues in appreciating a very wise ruling that you gave this afternoon. It is well considered and very balanced. Many of us who are keen followers of media practice in this country will record that this is a time that our media has sunk at its lowest ebb in terms of its standards of practice; be it in its reporting of political issues or anything else that is of grave concern to the country.
