Sad Happy News
Newsday seems to be trying something to lessen the blow of harsh news by juxtaposing serious news with a silly image. To us it feels like Newsday’s attempt at an Aristocrats Joke on the frontpage. This is something we whole-heartedly applaud. If only we had thought of this before.
We have two questions for you. Which of the four below is the harshest combination and which one is the real...

Editorial: A Ray of Hope from Tobago
Our twin island state has been suffering under a horrible scourge for many years. That hopeless feeling in the face of rising crime, has been increasing with each passing year. 229, 260, 386, 368, 395, 550. These figures have lost their meaning. What does a crowd of 2,188 persons look like? What would 20 articulated buses from PTSC look like? What about 32 regular buses?
The ray of hope from...

Trini Fake News has been able to get hold of a draft design for the new TT dollar. We are unaware if this will actually be made the new official dollar or if it will be issued as a commemorative dollar in honour of our current Executive President Prime Minister.

Editorial: Result of Election 2007
One year ago, there was a murder in Felicity. Trinidad had found itself at one of its lowest points in its short history. Race had reared its ugly head as the community of Boot Hill sought justice for an innocent young man who was gunned down in the prime of his life. His crime was simply trying to survive by the only means he knew. His murderer is free today. Free to live and free to have voted...

Panday: I am the Enemy
Former Prime Minister Basdeo Panday has admitted his leadership role in the UNC-A would be the reason the UNC-A lose the election and for a possible PNM win.
A public meeting held on Sunday night at Bonne Aventure Juncton in Gasparillo was the scene for this somewhat obvious revelation. Lamenting that citizens were “blue in the face” from appealing for his resignation...

Buy this CD
This election season has seen the rise of new styles of politics. We have already highlighted the filthy use of lies by politicians that seems to be penetrating it’s way into our virginal political landscape. On the positive side though, we are seeing the use of musical artists as a form of conveying the political message.
Both the UNC-A and the PNM seem to have musicians lined up waiting to...

The printing press is functional once more. The incident between the Chinese and the Buddhists have been sorted out with very little loss of life. You can expect to see today’s publication printed soon. Thanks to those who sent well wishes to the monks, the Chinese and the paper. It was a bit scary for a moment but thankfully everything has been sorted out by the graces of God.
In addition to...

Break in Publication
We are sorry to inform our readers that the latest edition of Trini Fake News has been delayed. We are having technical difficulties with our printing press. An unfortunate issue has arisen out of a decision to hire a team of Chinese labourers to run the presses. The boys are great workers and cheap but they seem to have some issues with the Burmese/Myanmarese Buddhists we offered ‘refuge’ to...
