Social media enthusiast, Lydia Forson and Politician, John Dumelo have expressed their disappointment in what ace Ghanaian Blogger Ameyaw Debrah has been choosing to give attention to on his website.

The two actors opined that Ameyaw could use his platform to sell more positive stories that will have a positive impact on the society but he often chooses stories that will rather stir controversy and attract eyeballs to his blog.

The conversation started on twitter when the veteran blogger shared insight into how a controversial story he published got massive engagement from readers whilst a positive one he did has almost been ignored the same readers.

Mr Debrah then insinuated that Ghanaians interest in such instigating stories is the propellant for news outlets to publish more of such negative stories at the neglect of the impactful ones.

However, Lydia Forson and John Dumelo think otherwise and they took some time in trying to school the blogger to change his mindset and tactics of blogging.

Their interaction got quite heated on twitter. See their back to back tweets at each other below and tell us what you think too. Should Bloggers or Readers be blamed for the negative stories published by news outlets?
