One of the problems I have with the local media is that, generally speaking, I don't think the public gets what it needs for informed discussion. When I glanced over the debacle over the '2 million dollar flag' on the Trinidad Guardian, I wondered where that figure magically sprang from.

Who said that the flag cost 2 million dollars? Where's the source? Was this number dreamed up at the taxi stand or the PTSC terminal?
