I just read the Motswako article and thought i should share this concern with the blogers. It seems some blogrs have managed to create careers out of blogging. That is a good thing and we should be proud of them but I have a serious problem with whats going on recently. Let me start with tvsa before people say we are joelous of oither sites iff we write about its owners. I joined this site after reading one of Blaqueboi's article in a chain mail that was being sent via yahoo. i immediately fell in love wiuth his style of writting.
For a year I have been a religious reader of his blog and loved it even when i dindt agree with some of his views. This year he got a job with class act and decided to leave tvsa. Makisto interviewed him and in the article mentioned that Blaque had written an article about Brown Shuga when she was in RGB. Makisto begged him to take the critisism that he will give him as Blaque has also made a career out od being honest in his critisism of celebs. What botheres me is when Blaque said to makisto or here in tvsa that he can not discuss Nonhle because she is her friend. I remember I said something on the blogs to Blaque that since Nonhle is his friend he will still write stuff about her that are negative. Gues what, Phil has not reviewed Nonhle's show or even written about the drama on twitter with Nonhle not paying for her pictures.
Today I loggeed on to his site and there is some drama about Lunga Shabalala getting the Selimathunzi job. I have always thought Phil was pushing this Lunga boy in his site. I actually at some point commented that Phil maybe has a crush on him. The article when i read it seems balanced but some readers attacked Phil saying he has a vendetta against lunga and he is jealous. I got confused thats when I came to tvsa and saw the article ya Makisto saying Lelo Boyana is fast becoming a celeb and she will be on magazines.
Now when this bloggers become celebs and being friends with them acn we still regard them as impartial. If there are certain people that they will write about good or bad but others they will only write the good. My take on the Lunga article is that Phil was kinda trying to protect Lunga. he is actually attacking the guy who make the story that Lunga should not get the job cos he is sleeping his way to TV. Is that fair? Should bloggers use their platform to protect other celebs and trash others who they dont like? Brown Shuga is back non our screens now with all this tv appearances and Blaque is doing that Class Act thing.
Can JC still regard BS's opinion impartial or can we here on TVSA still take Phil seriously when he picks and chooses who he can wirte about. I know Phil hasn't been writing for TVSA since he started his site mara a lot of his support on the new site comes from tvsa. I have seeen some TVSA bloggers commenting on his Facebook. Should bloggers became celebrities? Or do people blog to become celebs?
