Sheer xenophobia


Yet another 139 black people, screamed today's l-Orizzont headline. They didn't say "black people" but it was implied very clearly by means of the picture accompanying the title. It's headlines like this that contribute to the rising tide of xenophobia in Malta. The TV Malta report about the day's newspapers gave prominent exposure to the title, but no comment whatsoever on the xenophobic undertone. In fact, the reporter went along with the tone adopted by this "left-wing" (hah!) daily.
