‘Gadfly Doctor Delivers Harsh Words for High Epopt, Media’

Doctor Malcolm Eon, high dignitary of Gokhos Sakima, has issued strident criticisms for Kon-Braga, the planet’s High Epopt. Dr Eon’s disparagement of the leader’s political performance has been well noted; Eon has now broadened his range of reproach to include the planetary media’s dereliction of objective coverage, especially after the High Epopt’s first fireside chat that was aired recently.
  “The High Epopt, in his incessant babbling and frivolity, has baffled the populace to a point of grave concern. As for dealing with the economy, he continues to sit on his thumbs,” Dr Eon pointed out in a recent communiqué. “And this ‘fireside chat’ — gimme a break! Did his mum knit that sweater? And that cozy parlour schtick is all chroma-keyed — his palace is waaay more swank than that! Filled with baubles and macramé!
  “And our blow-dried media shills smile and breathlessly gush over this dotardly doyen and his every feeble pronouncement,” Eon added brusquely. “Both the epopt and his media manservants’ thinking comes straight out of their fanny-packs full of feelings!”
  Now that Gokhos Sakima has been granted novitiate member status of the United Planets, it is unclear how Gokhos Sakima Lumivision (GSLV) and other planetary media will react to coverage by United Planets Media. Under UP member status, all citizens are guaranteed access to UP Media content.
  “It will be business as usual,” Dr Eon said rather pessimistically. “Citizens never get the whole picture. People of the galaxy are tired of Fake News.”

Kon-Braga Fireside Chat Deemed a Success

In his four-hour fireside chat High Epopt of Gokhos Sakima His Excellence Kon-Braga comprehensively analysed the work of the spaceward initiatives, threw down a fresh struggle sesh, and hatched strategic policies for expanding metavisional sight for the Gokhos Sakima citizenry. Important tasks were also set forth for advancing the cause of global coherence and external relations to develop xeno-rapport vis-à-vis Gokhos Sakima’s admission to the United Planets.
  The stated ideas of Kon-Braga will make an awesome practical programme as they admit the subjective and objective factors checking society’s advance under prevailing internal and external situations. He urged clear metaphysical motivations and ways for innovating overall progress of Gokhos Sakima’s caste strata furthering collective praxis to the next stage of victory.
  The High Epopt also said that an in-depth understanding of successes and shortcomings regarding our work — the causes, lessons, and future struggle orientations — are indeed paramount, and that through hashing it out collectively it is possible to confirm strategic and tactical policies based on common opinions.
  High Epopt Kon-Braga ended the fireside chat sharing heartening affirmations to inspire morale for the citizenry and embolden their devotion. A sampling:

• “I provide a noble mental and moral presence, diligent work methods, and a people-oriented governing style.”
• “I am wise oracle, kind autocrat, stern father, and convivial brother.”
• “I provide cogent answers to all the Universal Mysteries.”
