Close Down Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV) and Cameroon Tribune

Up until the 2000s, the dominant source of information for most Cameroonians was the government-owned radio and television networks, Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV), and the government-owned newspaper, Cameroon Tribune. Currently, however, many Cameroonians do not care about these news sources even though they still wield some power in the country. It is mostly through these news sources that the Cameroon government speaks. The networks are run by taxpayer money and those who work there are mostly trained in government-owned journalism schools. Getting into the school of journalism in Cameroon, like getting into other professional schools in the country, has been a source of endless corruption. Upon graduation, graduates from these schools are required to give only the government side of a story, thus feeding Cameroonians with endless propaganda. Those who work for these news network are expected to be members of the ruling CPDM and to toe the party line. Thus it is that money is taken from Cameroonians to run news sources that is of no benefit to Cameroonians. In fact, those who control these networks are completely oblivious of the fact that they work for the people. Analysts after analysts mount the desks of these news sources only to sing the praise of the government. The fact that these news sources use taxpayer money to work against the interests of taxpayers should be an outrage to all Cameroonians. Like the Biya regime, CRTV and Cameroon Tribune have become enemies of the people of Cameroon. That is why these sources of the people's oppression should be removed. Cameroon Radio and Television and Cameroon Tribune should therefore be closed down because they are of no value to Cameroonians. They are a waste of taxpayer money.
