One876Entertainment.com understands that the switchboard of the XNews office was inundated with threatening and abusive phone calls last week following the publication of a story involving an altercation between Bounty Killer and Harry Toddler at a Corporate Area club.
Employees of the newspaper fielded these intense and often obscene phone calls over a four-day period from males who expressed anger at the slant of a story that was carried in the paper.
The story which appeared to have provoked their anger appeared in the January 9 15 publication with the headline Bounty Killer Attacks Harry Toddler and this appeared to be the catalyst for the phone calls. The calls came over several phone lines and were answered by various staff members.
Some of the abusive comments that staff had to endure from callers who claimed XNews dissed Bounty Killer were S--k yuh madda, gunshot fi unno, one a unno a guh dead among other more graphic comments which we cannot repeat here as this is a family publication.
Efforts to contact Bounty Killer or his publicist to enquire whether they were aware that these phone calls were being made on their behalf proved futile.
This is the second time that employees of this publication have been threatened after doing an expose about Bounty Killer. The management of the CVM Communications Group, under which the XNews operates, has taken a stance that they will not be intimidated by thugs or common criminals as the media group strives to bring the public accurate, well-researched stories that highlight the ills in our society.
The management has also beefed up security arrangements at the newspapers headquarters and implemented a number of new high-tech security measures to protect its editorial, marketing and advertising staff. If this trend of threatening phone calls continues, they say they will be forced to use other measures at our disposal to combat this grave threat to our editorial integrity.
