In instances where there is conflict between two opposing sides, journalists are supposed to be neutral and give each side a balanced opportunity to be heard. This is how journalism is supposed to be ideally practiced. In the olden days, it was difficult for one to easily detect the alliance of a media house (print, radio, television) to political parties but recent developments has brought about the abundance of media houses who have openly declared their support for political parties making them work for the interest of the parties instead of the public interest. Accra based Oman FM and Montie FM have become household names of media houses who are affiliated to political parties. Oman is aligned with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) while Montie is aligned with the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The NPP uses Oman FM's political show called Boiling Point to verbally attack its main opponent, the NDC while the NDC uses Montie FM's political show called Pampaso to attack the NPP. This work is a study on the two radio stations as they take advantage of the freedom of the media and freedom of speech to attack each other through their political shows. The work critically examines the way the shows are moderated to check if it is in accordance with the ethical guidelines enshrined in the code of ethics of the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA). At the end of the study, it is revealed whether the two stations are being professional with their work or not.enThesis
