Well, my point in raising that is there was no sign of COSATU meddling with editorial direction or control on e-tv News. So perhaps the following isn't cause for undue concern...Originally Posted by Blurock
Correct, but COSATU is not the government, although they have a big say in what they expect from government.

In other aspects to consider, I've always seen COSATU's strategy of pursuing shareholdings in companies as a potential cause for inappropriate conflicts of interests on an owner vs worker representative level - but that's something rather different from press freedom concerns.
