Well after the Bobonong debacle where the Botswana Movement for Democracy and by extension the Umbrella For Democratic Change came back with battered egos and soiled political reputations, newspapers sought to quell off frustrations of many by publishing what would go down memory lane as one of the worst own goals by our local publishers. A document, which now with hindsight we gather is fraudulent, was passed, clearly with design and terrible intention, to the media houses to spread untruths about the DIS and its involvement in the divisions within opposition political parties. This column therefore seeks to see whether there was a glaring act of irresponsibility from the media and whether the DIS must similarly take blame for having its name being so soiled.
