Dear Editor,
“Coke in Poke” was the headline in Kaieteur News (KN – November 20, 2015) referencing an article about two St Lucian women attempting to smuggle cocaine out of Guyana. The article went further, apparently the women were ”fingered” carrying the cocaine in their vaginas. This was also reported in INews. Was this junk reporting masquerading as journalism intended to be funny, a joke about women’s private parts. Did you find this funny when you allowed it to be published? This language is offensive, derogatory and not at all funny. It is debasing and low. KN had an opportunity to write a real story, about poverty, about women being used as mules. They opted for sensational and insulting garbage. I expect better. I also expect KN to issue an apology to all the women of this country.
