Knysna-Plett Herald: Bullshit Journalism Deserves Criminal Charges

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I WILL LAY CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST YOU. To the Knysna-Plett Herald, particularly Editor Elaine King and Group Editors Director Nicole Rimbault, you continue to allow Mark Allan, the DA’s propagandist pal, the man you know I have a protection order against, to defile me with the blessing from your Facebook page. The past week has been despicable. I’m going to make it very simple for you. Civil action will come but must wait its turn in this political mess you’ve embroiled yourself in. Separately, I’m reporting you to the Ombudsman … Read the full article…

Employee Under Threat & Knysna-Plett Herald’s Cancerous Journalism

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m asking you to stand up for Avitha Sunkar, the Budget Manager for Knysna Municipality, who has been victimised after saving our town millions. You’ll also be standing up for yourself cause it’s your taxpayers’ cash that the Municipality’s been wasting. Simultaneously, you’ll be standing against political bias and perverse journalism. Knysna-Plett Herald, as headed by Editor Elaine King and Director Nicole Rimbault, has repeatedly delivered articles killing facts, fairness and honesty. An omission is bias too, arguably support for the cancer of the questionable and corrupt in our town. … Read the full article…

I Ask the Good People of Knysna to Protest Against Knysna-Plett Herald’s Media Bias

Mike Hampton Posted on by

PLEASE HELP ME & KNYSNA TODAY. You can make a difference in a few seconds on Facebook this beautiful rainy morning. The Knysna-Plett Herald refused to publish my submission to Parliament, my allegations of corruption, yet has ironically published Knysna Municipality’s response submission. Despite it including defamatory statements against me, i wasn’t even asked for comment. I have evidence of Editor Elaine King stopping fair response with regards several issues involving the Democratic Alliance and the Knysna Municipality. Nicole Rimbault, the Director of Group Editors, the holding company that owns … Read the full article…

Knysna-Plett Herald Prints Another DA Letter Against Me

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Seen the latest lies about me in the The Knysna-Plett Herald today? Were those letters for the love of Knysna or do they have a political agenda? The first was written by Dr Martin Young who has applied to become a DA councillor. Before Young subscribed to politics, he had nothing to say about me. Now he’s got lots to say. Just like others in the DA since i reported them to Parliament. The second letter is by another doctor, Dr Douglas Seton, brother of Advocate Julie Seton who represents, … Read the full article…

Knysna-Plett Herald Says Hello to Spring

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Earlier this month, the Knysna-Plett Herald (KPH) newspaper welcomed Spring by inviting the public to meet the team behind the publication. In particular, it was the first time many were meeting the new editor, Ingrid Erlank, whose changes have made the newspaper more relevant to the community it serves. She boldly declared that intention with a front page that said, “Make it yours!” and went on to say that, “This paper is for you – own it!” Nicole Rimbault, the Director of Group Editors which owns the KPH, made a … Read the full article…

No More, Knysna-Plett Herald

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m not accepting the Knysna-Plett Herald’s biased reporting anymore. I’m not accepting you banning me from your pages. I believe that you did this to make your advertisers happy (Knysna Municipality, the DA and Knysna Tourism). Newton Lee said it best with, “Journalists should be watchdogs, not lapdogs.” There are many incidents of your wrong doings but here are 3 examples: The tourism scandal was the biggest this town has had in years. I was at the forefront of that, warning Knysna (and being vilified) alone. I was proven right. … Read the full article…

Knysna-Plett Herald Fails Journalism & Joins the DA

Mike Hampton Posted on by

The Knysna-Plett Herald (KPH) has again failed our town. This time, they drowned objectivity in the estuary and jumped into bed with Eleonor Bouw and the DA. I will address the newspaper’s lie as well as those who said, “Yay” further below. Choosing what to report and how to present it is not the same as reporting what actually happened.  The KPH lost their integrity long ago when they refused to investigate some of the most important issues affecting our lives. My disrespect for them dug deeper when they ensured … Read the full article…

Dear Helen Zille, You’re My Disappointment

Mike Hampton Posted on by

ATTENTION KNYSNA! This article will likely decide my little future but I’m hoping that it encourages a bigger future for all of us. No matter what political party you belong to, we all live in Knysna and want better lives that are safer and honest. Please give this your full attention! We have to stop Knysna falling apart. Politically, I’ve tried (and failed) alone. You and I cannot change the status quo overnight. South Africa is in a free fall. Knysna, for example, has one of the worst murder rates … Read the full article…
