Trinidad Guardian

Since leaving T&T about seven years ago, I've been relying mostly on T&T daily newspapers’ websites to keep abreast of local news.  Before leaving, I never used their websites; I preferred poring over the physical newspapers instead.  My transfer from the physical to the online versions of the news had an interesting side-effect: spotting errors is easier.

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?
