Btv-Radio Botswana must change after NBB verdict

Both Btv and Radio Botswana have been criticised for giving the BDP unfair advantage by never failing to exploit any opportunity to give the party coverage irrespective of the issue at hand. The opposition has been rightly up in arms over the development. We know that there are some members of the opposition who even went to the extent of complaining to the Ombudsman and the South African Development Community (SADC). 

Bias towards the BDP has always been an obvious orientation of the state media in Botswana. Whenever this is pointed out, both BDP and the government public relations machine have been quick to go on the defensive saying that there is nothing wrong with the obvious bias.
