The Cyprus Mail’s corrupt discriminatory practices...
One by one, the Cyprus Mail is barring the IP addresses of Greek Cypriot comment posters from participating in the paper’s political comment sections (that follow immediately after an article), in an effort to assist a handful of well-known Cyprus Haters, mainly comprised of bitter Turks and Brits, who are left to freely command the “airways” on the newspaper’s electronic site to push their anti-Cypriot agenda!
This began in the last couple of months, when an incessant IP address-filtering policy by the Cyprus Mail appears to have enabled a handful of anti-Cypriot aliases to monopolize the “airways” at the Mail’s political comment sections, where they are running rampant with the blessings of the newspaper’s management!
The Cyprus Mail’s systematic campaign to undermine Cyprus, the government of Cyprus, and the people of Cyprus, appears to only be prepared to publish reader’s comments if they directly or indirectly promote one or more of the following…
1. The destruction of the RoC constitution!
2. Undemocratic political arrangements in violation of the UDHR and UN Charter!
3. Blatant anti-Cypriot racial hatred and discrimination.
4. Foreign serving Turkophile or Anglophile stances.
Furthermore, the website’s “mark as inappropriate” link to be found under each reader’s comment appears to only work if it favors the newspaper’s political agenda!
The predominantly foreign or half-baked “Cypriot” crew at the Cyprus Mail are clearly in constant violation of the 1997 established act of the “JOURNALIST’S CODE OF PRACTICE” to be found here…

The Cyprus Mail has become an anti-Cypriot breeding ground of foreign discriminatory interests not only in the biased stance of its articles, but more importantly in the gagging of public opinion, and for this reason I call upon the Cyprus Media Complaints Commission to investigate the matter further.
Thanks in advance.
