The Yuletide charm offensive
28 December 2020
PR (Propaganda Report) number 202679 issued by the Department of (Mis)Information on 27 December informed the nation of the words of praise that the World Health Organisation’s Regional Director Hans Kluge reserved for Malta upon the arrival of the first consignment of the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to the propaganda report faithfully reproduced by TVM, Kluge was impressed at how Malta managed to get the same treatment as that enjoyed by the large European nations.
Such a report could not help but reference the wise leadership of the Maltese government and a few token nods to the Deputy Prime Minister. No reference to the EU of course. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world legitimate news portals such as the BBC were headlining with the quote from Ursula Von der Leyen who had defined the days of mass vaccination (#EUvaccinationdays) as a ‘touching moment of unity’. The contrast could not be greater.
