Did media corruption contribute to the bankrupting of Ghana?

There is no question that media corruption contributed to the bankrupting of our homeland Ghana. Take the very interesting Atuomu-3y3-suum, matter, of how Ghanaian media houses, manage to survive, financially, on their own, without ongoing support from deep-pocketed benefactors-with-ill-intent, lol.

The question, dear critical-reader, then is: How many of Ghana's media professional,  are not in the metaphorical deep-pockets, of the vested-interests, who are engaged in exploitative, state-capture rent-seeking rip-off deal-making, to the detriment of the masses, Ghanafuor?

Furthermore, just how many media professionals, depend on their own Ghanaian equivalents, of US Supreme Court Judge, Justice Clarence Thomas' Halan Crow, to survive, Ghanafour - and can they thus ever be loyal to Mother Ghana, when she is at risk from the unfathomable greed of super-wealthy grifters, anaaa?
 
Corruption within the media removed the societal guardrails needed to protect the Republic of Ghana, from the big-thieves-in-high-places, who roam freely throughout the corridors of power, in Ghana, with total impunity.

That is why media professionals, seldom call for our country to tear up the unconscionable oil sector agreements, which will result, for example, in Ghana obtaining a paltry US$20billion, from the Jubilee oilfields, by the end of its productive lifetime - instead of getting US$120 billion, by the end of the lifetime of that particular oilfield: if we had signed production sharing agreements.

We must also ponder why, for example, many media professionals seldom call for the tearing up of all international and domestic, public private partnership (PPP) agreements, with secret clauses in them, which not even Parliament is privy to?

Little wonder then, that it is only Ghana, amongst the African continent's oil producing nations, which has signed the locally-created, Kweku-Ananse daft-and-fraudulent so-called hybrid oil sector agreements, lol.

Even Chad, taflatst3, had leaders with the good sense to sign global oil sector industry standard production sharing agreements - in which oil companies fund the entire process of extracting oil, and are paid with allocated specified-barrel-numbers that are far less than the shared-proportion that goes to the sovereign owners of the oil deposits.

Hmmm, Ghanafuor, if truth be told, the egregious-compromising of a large swathe of the entities and professionals in our media landscape, has contributed to the bankrupting of Ghana. No question. Ahhh, Oman Ghana, paaa, diy3  - tweaaaaa...
