Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton, abruptly ended an interview with the host of DBS Radio’s Talking Point, Kamala Jno Baptiste Aaron on Monday morning, after he accused her of being a “rabid political animal.”
Based on what Linton said on the program, he was invited to speak about the National Budget which was presented to parliament recently and he accused the host of not sticking to the script.
The interview began with Jno Baptiste Aaron questioning Linton on his rise to the leadership of what she described as the “somewhat embattled” United Workers Party, matters dealing with the just contested Soufriere by-election and the very public booting of Deputy Leader of the UWP recently.
But things began going down hill when Jno Baptiste questioned Linton on what has been his biggest surprise in his new position as leader of the UWP.
Linton responded, “The biggest surprise to my mind has to do with the nature of the challenge of opposing the seating government that is bent on utilizing every public resource available, every trick in the book to ensure that it builds the paramountcy of the party, that it makes the party, the ruling party, the be all and the end all of everything in Dominica. And it creates out of the leader, a person who believes the state is mine, the state belongs to me, the resource of the state are mine, and so I can do as I please with them.”
Jno Baptiste Aaron demanded an explanation.
“Explain what you just said,” she stated. “Break it down for me. Explain what you mean by the party in government using the state resources, the leader acting as if the state is mine. Explain those things to me.”
Linton responded by saying that there is a leader in Dominica who believes that it is heresy or treason to criticize the way he carries out his public function.
Jno Baptiste Aaron asked for evidence of Linton’s claim.
He responded by saying, “By the way, you are the press secretary of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit. Right?”
“I am the press secretary of the government but here is the thing that is happening this morning, you are not the one in studio two, I am the one asking the questions,” Jno Baptiste stated.
Linton interrupted and said the invitation that he received indicated that he was to discuss the 2016 budget.
“You’ve opened up this interview in a sort of interrogatory kind of way about what I did, what I did in 2013, what I have been doing since, whether I have had any disappointments…” he stated. “And I have tolerated that but I would like us now to come to the discussion of the budget which I came here for.”
But Jno Baptiste Aaron countered by saying as a seasoned broadcaster, Linton knows that the person being interviewed does not dictate what the line of questioning is.
Linton stated that he was not trying to dictate anything but was asking the host to follow the protocol that “was established by the content of the letter that I received.”
Jno Baptiste Aaron would hear none of it.
“You will not raise your voice to me,” she told Linton. “I have been very respectful. The people of Dominica are listening and I think you, as a former broadcaster would know that you do not dictate the line of questioning.”
However, Linton kept interrupting her, asking when the budget was going to be discussed.
“Are we going to talk about the budget?” he asked. “I have been invited here to talk about the 2016 budget.”
Jno Baptiste Aaron replied by asking Linton if he was going to back up what he was saying with facts.
Linton replied by saying he will back up what he was saying with facts when they discuss the budget.
Jno Baptiste Aaron responded, “I guarantee you that you know that I am not one of the people that you talk to in any which way. I guarantee you that you know that….”
To this Linton asked, “Kamala Aaron, what is this about? What is this about really? You don’t dictate the way I speak. I don’t tell you what questions to ask, I don’t dictate your line of questioning. I simply ask you to follow the protocol established by the letter of invitation I received to come here this morning. That is all. What I came prepared for is a discussion on the budget of 2016. You have all sorts of excursions into other things of which I have been tolerant but I am asking now, are we going to have a conversation about the budget, and can that conversation about the budget commence now. If you don’t have the tolerance, if you don’t have the respect for the position that I represent, I am here this morning at the invitation of DBS Radio, excuse yourself, let somebody else do the interview. You seem to be here with some sort of agenda which I don’t particularly appreciate.”
She responded, “You always dictate what people agenda is when you have a difficulty backing up your accusation..”
“This is absolutely rubbish,” Linton replied. “I am saying to you that whatever facts and evidence you want, I will back it up in the conversation about the budget which I came prepared for.”
A break followed after which Jno Baptiste Aaron came back on air saying that she will be asking the questions that she wants to ask “even in the context of a budget discussion.”
She stated that all of the questions that she asked were relevant and if Linton did not want to answer them, he may choose not to.
“That’s how it is going to work this morning,” she noted.
The interview resumed with Jno Baptiste Aaron asking Linton why he walked out of parliament during the budget debate, which she described as “the most important calendar event in the lives of the people of Dominica.”
Linton had left parliament to attend a protest rally of the UWP.
“Explain to the people of Dominica how your business ended up in the streets in protest action during the 2016-2017 budget debate,” she said.
“What do you mean by business ended up in protest action,” Linton replied. “I don’t understand that.”
“The 2016-2017 budget debate was going on in the parliament of Dominica, at that same time your party planned to have protest action,” Jno Baptiste Aaron responded. “Your business is in the House of Assembly. I am wondering how it is, especially with what you said in order to build the party, how your party plans for protest action during the most significant calendar event in the country.”
Linton stated that the UWP’s protest was planned during the week of the 22nd of June 2016.
“At that time the party had no idea when the budget presentation was going to be,” he said. “The budget year ended on the 3oth of June 2106. We had no indications as parliamentarians when the budget presentation would be. Last year it was earlier in the month of July, the year before that it was a little earlier. This year it came towards the end of the month. We decided when we were notified of the meeting of the parliament that we would go ahead with protest action as planned.”
He stated that the protest action did not prevent him from responding to the budget within 24 hours.
“I was not in the parliament for certain periods during the ensuing debate but I was not the only individual in the parliament who was absent during the sitting, the Prime Minister himself was absent, there were others who were absent. And it is normal behavior, customary in the parliament that parliamentarians come and go,” Linton said.
Jno Baptiste Aaron interjected by saying there is a difference between coming and going, taking a break or walking outside and being in a planned protest action on the streets.
She wondered whether it was prudent to continue with the protest action even after the UWP became aware of the date of the budget debate.
“Yes, it was,” Linton responded.
Jno Baptiste Aaron then asked Linton how would he describe the budget in a nutshell.
Linton stated that the budget was “an old talk budget” to which an explanation was demanded by Jno Baptiste Aaron.
“I said it is an old talk budget. One sentence,” Linton said.
“What is the old talk?” Jno Baptiste Aaron asked.
“The same old talk, we’ve heard over and over again in 16 years,” Linton responded.
“OK, do you consider the facility for the tourist sector of $15-million in the AID Bank same old talk?” Jno Baptiste Aaron asked.
“We’ve seen those initiatives before,” was the response and Jno Baptiste Aaron asked where.
“In Dominica. There has been money available to be lent through the AID Bank for productive sector purposes,” Linton stated.
“There is a difference between the money being put in the bank, I specifically mentioned the tourism sector,” she responded, to which Linton interjected, “sounds similar to me.”
But Jno Baptiste Aaron said this has never happened before “that the private sector meets with the public sector, specifically, the ministry of finance and the minister for finance, tells the minister of finance what its difficulties are, asked for terms and conditions, those terms and conditions provided for the tourism sector. That has never happened before. Tell me again what is old.”
Linton went on to say that there are two tracks in the budget. One is the maintenance track where the government provides for things that normally happen for providing services to the people and the other is what action the government is going to take to improve the economic situation of the country.
“That is where the growth of the economy comes in,” he stated.
He went on to say the working class of the country has been devastated and the middle class is in a downward spiral and properties are escalating.
“You will have to explain to me those things,” Jno Baptiste Aaron interjected. “And again I hope it does not end up in a tirade because I am going to ask you to explain, explain to me how the working class is worst off, explain to me how the middle class is spiraling, explain to me those things.”
Linton explained the working class is facing limited employment, underemployment and income are depressed. He said the middle class is also facing limited opportunities to grow, limited opportunities to earn more money.
Jno Baptiste Aaron interrupted.
“Saying that there are limited opportunities in and of itself is not an explanation,” she said. “Where are there limited opportunities? The middle class in Dominica, for the information of the general public, the middle class consists of the teachers, doctors, nurses, people providing mostly in the service industry. The teachers, for example, of Dominica have never had more opportunities for growth in education than right now. Study opportunity, which means greater opportunity in various ways.”
But Linton said she had answered the question and asked that she move on to another.
And that is where things started getting really bad.
“Kamala Jno Baptiste, you are not going to correct my views, my views are my views,” Linton stated when he was told again to substantiate his position. “I am speaking to you and you are interrupting me to tell me what the correct interpretation of a downward spiral of the middle class is in Dominica. That is my view. There is a downward spiral, the middle class, in terms of economic advancement opportunities, are having it difficult …”
But Jno Baptiste Aaron kept demanding that Linton explain what he was saying.
Linton explained that the middle class, such as nurses and teachers, are living in circumstances where their incomes are not rising at the same rate that the cost of living is rising.
“And they are having more difficulties in making ends meet than they had in years gone by,” he stated. “That is my view, that is my understanding, that is my perception based on talking with people and knowing real life circumstances in Dominica. If you see it differently, that’s fine.”
The host then tried to explain how she sees it differently because she said Linton is interested in spreading propaganda without evidence but Linton said he was not interested in her views.
Then Linton asked, “Hold on, am I entitled to a view this morning that you are not going to try to correct?”
Jno Baptiste responded, “You are entitled to bring in the truth to power, as you like to say it, to the public, that is what you are entitled to do. I am asking you to simply back up what you are saying with evidence.”
Linton replied, “Ok, so as far as you are concerned, the middle class in Dominica is better of than off now than it ever was, so that is your view. My view is different. So let’s move on to another question.”
But Jno Baptiste Aaron would have none of it.
“You have not substantiated …” she began but was interrupted by Linton.
“I am not going to substantiate any further,” he stated. “You are not interested in substantiation. If you do not know, and you cannot appreciate that middle class people in Dominica are under pressure, then you cannot understand….”
Linton was interrupted to explain how the middle class is under pressure and he said he explained how their income is not keeping step with costs of living and so on.
But Jno Baptiste Aaron explained that the civil servants of Dominica have opportunities to get a mortgage that they never had before.
But she was interrupted.
“Why don’t you interview yourself,” Linton told her. “I am out of here. Have a conversation with yourself about the budget of Dominica, about the middle class, about the working class. Ask the questions to yourself, answer them. I am not going to subject myself to this absolute garbage.”
Jno Baptiste Aaron insisted that Linton substantiate his view but Linton said she was not allowing him to do so.
“You want to correct my views …. listen to my views and appreciate them,” he stated. “I am trying to talk to you but you are trying to tell me what I should think, what I should say.”
He insisted that she stick to the protocol of the letter of which he was invited to speak.
“Your modus operandi is always the same,” she told him. “People ask you to back up your views with facts, you get upset.”
Linton responded, “It is not a question of backing up ….it is a question of you stop behaving like the rabid political animal that you are, trying to hide under the cover of media practice. You are the press secretary of the government, hosting a conversation where the radio station has invited me to come here to talk about the budget and you are on an excursion all of your own talking about this, talking about that. Your whole purpose here this morning is not to try to listen to me and to let the public hear what I have to say. Your whole purpose is trying to embarrass me, to try to set your agenda to score one for the Roosevelt Skerrit administration. So you have just done that.”
With that, the interview ended.
If the PM was being inteviewed by Matt on Q95 he would not leave. What would happen is that Matt would have to make sure he has is facts correction which most of the times he does not have and he would end up looking like a reporter rather than a journalist. This is always what happens when leaders are hand picked and they are not fit for the job. They choose the easy way out. THEY QUIT LIKE LINTON. Doh tell me a woman of about 125 lbs have more guts than a 200lbs near retiree. Kamala you have physcologically defeated Lenox Linton the leader of the lame duck opposition.
What does weight have to do with an interview.Moron
Pictures are worth a thousand words. One is happy the other is sad. Let us take a poll .Who is happy and whom is sad?
I hope all of allu hearing or rather reading who is asking for respect for the position he holds?A man whop does not respect the office of the Prime minister is asking for respect. This is how it is going to play out on tyhepolitical landscape of Dominica. The UWP will be getting a dose of its own medicine it has prescribed for this Government. If and when the UWP gets into office which I doubt because this new hospital will be completed by the next election and will on its own taking nothing else into account will blow the sails of the UWP away. They will not attend the comissioning of that facility which will be the final nail in their coffin.
The two most politically biased journalists in the history of Dominica sat down for an interview. Saw this coming because none of them can be objective in their work. I know Lennox wasn’t acting in the capacity of a journalist here but serve him right because he would have done the same thing. As for kamala she is a joke. Seems like Lennox was bugging her with his responses.
Hello and good morning my people. First I must say that I don’t vote or take sides in Dominica politics but I do respect which party our people elect. Now Ms Aaron isn’t a journalist rather he is a Political hack who is there to give her party views. If one sent a letter to invite someone to come and discuss a particular issue which both agreed that they will strict to the subject then you should be professional enough to do so. Based on my reading of the article I would have to believed that she came in to ambushed Mr Linton but some blame should go to him because he should have walked out much earlier than he did. Mr Linton acted in a professional manner to the host but she continue to stray from the pre determined boundaries which was agreed to although he answered her off topic questions but she didn’t like his answers. One can’t asked a question and think you going to get an answer you like because things don’t work like that. Unprofessional .
Line two should read “She”.
Is it true there was much more drama behind the scenes after the abrupt walking off from the interviewee seat? Anyone?
Well Well so call workers supporters like to give bad medicine but they themselves all two face lots would not take their own medicine mr could not answer Ms Kamala questions so he walked out what is the big deal? Only a fool would have an interview with Kamala without any evidence the woman is a professional at her job, some people in Dominica would like to have little Hitlers running around destroying the Island but it will not happen again.
Professional journalist? Where did she graduate from?
Skerritt school of “puppets”.
You sound like a puppet
Rabid = unreasoning, headstrong, fanatical, This is one explanation given by the concise Oxford dictionary. Does this really describe Kamala? I leave it to the readers of this blog to decide. Meanwhile I think it is a valid question to ask if Cecil Joseph is really in charge of DBS or does he simply do his master’s bidding?
I read most of the comments here, and most seem on parr.
What I noticed from Mr. Linton was a man with Patience, you could clearly see that he was just trying to pacify Kamala, until she went over board, and he had to put her in her place.
Kamala was rude and disrespectful, however, Lennox handled her well.
She should have known better to try to go toe to toe with Lennox, after all Skerrit refused to debate him for the same reason, because he knew Lennox would chew him up and spit him out.
He lost his cool!!! Did you hear the crackling of his voice… she set a trap and he fell right into it…
In the first place, one has to say, why did Mr Linton choose to waste his time on a run away radio station like Dbs. Dbs is state owned but it’s obvious that the Labour Party calls the shots.
Secondly, what else does one expect from this lady? Imagine, who is press secretaty? Having been sacked by q95, guess she got an upgrade based on affiliation.
All those so called journalists are just singing Skerritt’s tunes…..
If they ever loved Dominica, one would have expected them asking questions to the PM.
Lennoxtown was right, gooo and interview yourself…….
Singin for super, and daily bread…….
The Onlooker
U must begin 2 look inwards.
(1) It is wheel & come again
(2) Arrogance and ignorance is as sinful . Should be (are)
Lennox is not my favorite person nor is the one just like U( our P.M) who fell through the crack in 2004 ( don\’t know English) Instru would do a better job than Skerrit with language lol( that is bad!!!)
Now both Mr. & Mrs Linton were my teachers Roseau Boys school at school and they did that well. So am correcting you. despite my issues with LL he is great with prose. No one in parliament can hold a candle up to him.
The interview was an exposition of how an irrational, inconsistent and fundamentally foolish woman can be easily baited into becoming emotional and losing lucidity due to her strong preference for emotive reasoning. She’s riding on a tidal wave of emotion, so the role of press secretary will be like a ‘bucking bronco’ for her. But, ho-ho-ho! Think of the fun we’ll have with her in the saddle!
Kamala has received many hits for this latest piece of gossip masquerading as an interview. I would like to ask Kamala one question. Where are the jobs that the Prime Minister spoke about, before he introduced the budget? He stated that, “Dominicans who reside abroad will soon be moving back home to secure the abundance of jobs that the budget will create?” I rest my case.
Linton should have known he was walking into an ambush. He should have armed himself with the necessary information needed to quell such an attack. This opposition party is not ready for anything which would move the island forward. The present govt is crappy, but way craftier than the clowns in the opposition. We need a third party with honest down to earth people who will put the needs of the island before everything else. Misery loves company !
Kamala you should have kept to the subject.
As far as I see it it was 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other.
They both have the very same arrogant temperament and don’t like being crossed or their words being questioned. The animosity was so thick you could have cut it with a knife.
Pure theater!
Ulterior Motive is what its called.
Its clear that Ms. JnoBaptiste had ulterior motive, which Hon. Linton picked up rather a second too late. Because he was adamant on sticking to the “talking point” he lingered on, but the point was to end this thing earlier than was done.
I cant understand how people allow professionalism to be dragged to the gutter. This was utter disrespect for the Opposition Leader and an apology should be given. These nonsense must be stopped as it is really dragging the name of the country Dominica to the dogs. I cannot but state that a once peaceful and loving island is turning into a politically divided country and will one day lead to utter chaos and disruption. Already the Salisbury matter is still lingering and has reached the courts. This is definitely not all but it is not good for the country.
Trending now: ‘Rabid Political Animal’
AAGabriel
That’s my though exactly. The Hon. Linton should never have reduced himself to the thoughtless interview ploys of this lady.
I blame him for this one although I know he wanted to make public what is kept private. But we all learn from our mistakes.
I see the Hon. Skerrit breaking grounds for the new expansion project. I want one of those shovels to do a project.
“Why don’t you interview yourself,” Linton told her. Very funny.
Kamala is simply the wrong person for that particular job. it was obvious she had a preference side, and it is not the first time. I no longer enjoy listing to talking point and i feel the original host was what made me like to listing to talking point. something need to be done to maintain a balance
I agree that this interview should never have happened. Why is the Government’s Press Secretary hosting Talking Point? why is this person interviewing the Opposition Leader? What a tragedy! Or is it a comedy? A host known for her arrogant, know-it-all, talking down style, interviewing an arrogant, angry, Opposition Leader, given to the platitudinous and vacuous, whose foreign policy, we might remember, is “based on enlightened global citizenship” Kamla seemed to have no real interest in discussing the budget; and Lennox was right to demand that she stick to the subject stated in his letter of invitation. And to repeat: the Government’s Press Secretary hosting Talking Point or interviewing the Opposition Leader anywhere at all. It is also shocking that Lennox agreed to do an interview with the Government’s Press Secretary, especially if he knew who that person was.
s
Kamala needs to know her placekkamala needs to know her place.
Mr Linton should have walked out earlier.
But when will Dominica change?
This small island is just tok po,itical
It was clear that from the start Ms. Jno. Baptiste had an agenda to deny Mr. Linton form making any positive points about the budget and to frustrate him by all means necessary.
She had her marching orders form the DLP leaders.
But it is sad when the Nation\’s Station is hijacked in such a blatant way to stifle the voice of the masses.
\”I love the uneducated.\”
staunch labourite over here but this interviewer needs to follow codes of decency and be professional. talking points are a very important thing that guides interviews
Linton is just a cry baby. Where he think he was going? To the Queen show? thanks for the entertainment though.
I’ll never understand why Linton agreed in the first place to an interview with this DLP mouthpiece.
At 11:00PM last night I listened to a repeat of Talking Point. My question to the majority of the posters here on DNO did those trying to blame the host of the program listened to the interview? If you did most of the postings on this board would not be posted. I would even go further and say all who think the host of the program was in the wrong, did not listen to the show. And even after reading the DNO article I cannot see where the Leader of the Opposition walking out, any blame can be seen as that of the host of the program. No way, no how.
On another note but keeping with the mantra of the UWP and something positive happening in Dominica for Dominicans that members of parliament in the opposition UWP did not attend the Ground Breaking Ceremony of Dominica New National Hospital, except I understand the Parl Rep. of the Roseau South Constituency.
Thank God for this Government and our Chinese true friends. God Bless both countries because you show us you care.
to doubting thomas, Everything that glitter, is not gold
Truth: How about this one; “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”
Yes I have listened to it a myriad of times and I find your hatred and gibberish something worth exposing and condemning..Well I found the honourable leader of the opposition has patience with profusion..Yes he exposed Karmalas plan, but he should have walked out long before he did…I refer to those who are of your ilk as evil,and I won’t stop….HOWEVER KARMALAS UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOUR was exposed.
what ground breaking of Hospital, you mean the college campus. That is why dominica is not progressing, people supporting backwards way
Its really amazing that Kamala doesnt know what “difficulty making ends meet” means.
If the middle class is doing so well. Why is it that Nurses are consistently migrating? Why is it that teachers and Nurses are still having difficulty to finance their own homes…even if as she says the mortgage rate SEEM to be better? or sending their children off to university?Why is it that there is still so many people who depend on welfare? Kamala when you start sharing your labor party pay check with Dominicans then the middle class will be better off.
This woman is living in a fool’s paradise! Totally out of touch, totally oblivious to the plight of the people, like Marie Antoinette! What Jim Jones business is going on in Dominica nuh???
As ignorant as the opposition leader may be, the actions of the politically motivated wanna-be “moderator” only made him a “martyr” and a victim of bias and discrimination.
The reverse happened where the Press Secretary now showed to the world that she CANNOT be neutral and made herself a very “hostile” interviewer which alone disqualifies her from that function.
She should have opted out from taking up that questionable role (to interview her party’s opponent) which would have eventually made her look unethical and unpopular in the international community.
A lot of commenters are criticising Kamala’s looks and say she lacks professionalism and that this was all a trap for Linton. I believe they are missing the point. This is not about Kamala.
The fact is that Linton is a journalist, a seasoned journalist who has interviewed numerous people including politicians. Linton very well should have EXPECTED and PREPARED himself for a grilling and for questions coming from all directions. Instead, he insisted that the interviewer stick to a script and ask and behave exactly as he wished. As a journalist he should have KNOWN to expect unexpected questions.
So I am very disapponted at Linton’s behaviour and how he handled the interview. This was his moment to reach a lot of listeners who don’t usually get to hear him. Now was his time to explain his position and he got plenty opportunities.
UWP should demand more of their leaders. Stop excusing their behaviour and attacking everyone who stands up to them. Expect better. Demand…
The invitation was to discuss the BUDGET not a general debate.
He was asked to discuss the budget. How was he wrong for wanting to “stick to the script”. ???
He wasn’t a chance to express his views whether they were opinions and or facts . This on the Mama’s part was very unprofessional.
Linton was invited to an interview instead he was presented with a debate by Kamala.She needs a refresher course in journalism
This was an ill prepared for interview by the host of the programme who failed to, from what I heard, the property courtesies and Protocal afforded to a member of parliament and the Country`s principle Opposition Leader. This is about the position and that must be respected. Also, “the budget” was the principle topic for discussion and unlike Hon Linton`s preparedness to accommodate and participate the host clearly was far from the issue at hand. I am still waiting to hear questions on the budget from this so called host. This is despicable and this lady should not be allowed to host such a programme of this magnitude anymore. I wonder why is it she is no longer working at Kairi FM, from where I heard the worse morning Hot Seat patronising Programme. This lady will go down in history , just like others who use their journalistic skills and allegiance to corrupt DLP as failed people lack decency in awareness of how government functions, the role of the PM, and Leader of the…
Kamala was downright hostile and combative.As the host she needed to realize that she should not have let her political energy as press secretary to the Prime minister make it seem like she was going up against the enemy.Kamala,you were interviewing the leader of the opposition.Do You have any respect for the position.Come on you may not like Mr Linton,but show some class and humility.I don’t know where you got your training,if you have had formal training,but you need to take your personal feelings out of the situation,because you represent the public.Then you are not an employee or agent of DBS so are you telling me, that no one else could have been chosen to conduct the interview?.I refuse to believe or accept this.In so many discussions and interviews that I have seen on TV or listened to on the radio,and I’m sure you have seen and heard many done by the best in the business,they don’t seek to embarrass the guest,even when the guest dodges the question asked.
Jonathan you do not see the problem? When we accuse we have to have factz to substantiate our accusation. It is heart rending to see educated persons like you hate persons so much that you cannot reason objectively. You criticize everything and see no good in no one. Ingratitude to e en the Most high who gave life breeds hatred and therefore if that cannot be accepted then this
Person (s) live day to day bitter and bitterness hurts those individuals who apparently do not sleep looking for everything to be negative about. St Jean time to wake up and ask for a better heart so you can be the best of you. You are too political that you cannot see any good in anything. This is dangerous when a seemingly intelligent individual like you has allowed negativity to contaminate your spirit. But one can be academically inclined , lack even commonsense, wisdom which is God’s gift when we fear him and asks freely. Leaning on our own understanding and putting ourselves in our own sphere…
What the hell did you mean? You failed to make any sense.Was Kamala right in thinking and speaking for her guest.I don’t get your point
Where is my popcorn and drink.. A government press secretary interviewing an Opposition Leader on the budget…that had to be a comedy show…
Did a 51.1lbs Kamala JB intimidate and unravel a 60 year old 200 lbs grown man…..
I guess that’s it
It was obvious that Kamala wanted to talk about something else other than budget. A labor surrogate , people like that thing it is fair game to embarrass an elected member of Parliament if they are not Labor. In the civilized world the election is over. Madame secretary you owe Mr. Linton a public apology if you are as professional as they say.
As a leader vying for such a position Mr. Linton need to will and come again. One don’t go into battle unprepared. To whom much is given, much is required. Mr. Linton represents the people of Dominica and much more is expected of him if he is to become the Prime Minister of Dominica. Do you go out to battle and cry wolf when confronted by the enemy? This is very lame and unprofessional. Since the enemy ‘s job is to attack from all angles, it is your job to be prepared . Mr. Linton permit me to say that you were unprepared and as a result you allowed your emotions to take the better of you. The interviewer bowled and the responsibility was on you as a skilled cricketer to bat the ball skillfully hitting fours, sixes and even eights left, right and center. My teacher always said that “opportunities wasted cannot be regained.” You lost the opportunity to represent your people Mr. Linton. Arrogance and ignorance is as sinful as bitterness and anger.
What a blind ‘onlooker’. Poor fellar trying to justify incompetence, rudeness and down right poor protocol. But my brother stick to your standards and just bat doh mine if it is a test match, a one day or a twenty twenty onlooker just bat because that’s all you know how best to do. And when you pass like a fool just say boy I batted.
Mr. Linton’s arrogance and ignorance has blinded him so severely that he is unable to behave himself professionally. As a result, he has become the laughing stock of the people.
Mr. Linton, wake up and smell the coffee, you’re wasting the people’s time. It’s high time that you begin to act wisely. Your opponents seem to know you better than you know yourself and sting you in the places which is obvious to them that hurts you the most. Come on Mr. Linton, play the game head on and stop crying. It’s high time that you put on your armour as a skilled batsman and hit the ball. The field is very wide eg. throw some 1’s and 2’s in the presidents yard, 3’s and 4’s in the stadium, 6’s in the 5 star hotel yard, 8’s in Warner…goosh! Do I have to tell you everything man!
Only then will I be convinced that you’re ready for such a high calling. Maybe, just maybe you may win me back. Until then I will continue to look on.
Observed I only attacked a public figure…that is…
Mrs. Aaron I I admire your strength as a woman however, you too, I must admit is very arrogant and ignorant which is really not appropriate for the positions that you hold. Learn to tone down your voice and stop the intimidation game! Mr. Linton is not a child neither is he your child.
What goes for the goose goes for the gander, “arrogance and ignorance are as sinful as bitterness and anger.”
Looking on…
@A Doubting Thomas In Solidarity August 8, 2016
I agree with you; there was no form of unprofessionalism from the Lady Kamala, according to the News Article.
Questions were asked and answers were given. As the host, and depending on the answer from the guest, she had the right to ask for specification or substantiation to show the CONCRETE TRUTH or credibility of the answers given–especially that those answers pertained to the well being of Dominica and her people.
But quite a few times Linton tried to brush off from substantiating his answers, by simply saying you have your views and I have mine, \”lets move on to the next question\”. That is not classy; it is rude, it is not a response that should be uttered by the a leader in government; it is just not professional–Linton is just not qualified for the role which he holds; that is definite!
The great Dame Eugenia Charles once told a journalist during an interview ” good question, next question please”, without answering. The point is the interviewee is your guest not your adversary; secondly it is an interview and not a debate. Thirdly it is not a contest to see who is right and who is wrong. In the civilized world that does not happen. what happens in the civilized world after a high profile interview the News media house would assembly a team to do a post mortem or a critic and there and only there pronouncements are scrutinized and clarified by the panel or a critic of the individual who was interviewed. So I mean Lennox was in his right to disassociate himself with that carp that was being disguised as an interview.
My fellow Dominicans it is apparent that Dominica is on the brink of dictatorship and the supporters of the status quo are becoming in desperate mode to keep it alive. But it is ennevitable, like all dictators it is the same persons who rallied behind you who will some day rise against you. It always happens.
The political trap was detonated by honourableinton!!!!
BOOMMMMMMMMM!!
Take your planned disrespect back Karmala!!!
Such Nonsense!!!! Good airtime WASTED!!!
Hmmm the amount of people that think you can have a satisfying life on 1600 – 2000 a month (before deductions) is very high.
So Kamala speaking for “all of allu” when she say things good, with allu 1600 a month, things good in the country, but take your children for a summer vacation over seas nuh, buy a new vehicle nuh. The middle class not enjoying those things. it’s the upper class and upper upper class than can say those things.
Of course the country sweet, Kamala can pass in her big vehicle, Glass up, AC on.
where as myself in my ole Little car, no AC, glass must stay up cause if it go down it cannot go up again, and when 12 o clock come and I stick in traffic with my glass up is then i know how sweet the country is. I cannot fix my Ac cause after two bills…money done.
Country nice!
mr linton never failed , that lady is very disrespectful and very un professional in her practice. its not about her and it will never be about her. Dominica middle class is of a hand full nurses and teacher still working for under $1500 per month . actually most public servant falls under this pay bracket. its just not healthy for a country so the opposition leader on point is just that the people love colours more than progress
If I was near you and you are a woman; I would kiss you from head to toe, and if you are a man; I would shake both your hands. You have just taught me that all of us Dominicans are not idiots!
The Labor Party Supports are not interested in progress, they are not interested in personal wealth, all they can see is the color red, and Skerrit winning the elections. Ask the same people who works for a measly fifteen hundred dollars per month, which is approximately fifty dollars per day, how much more the ruling political party politicians pay themselves per month.
They kill for Skerrit, yet Skerrit’s honest salary range in the thousands of dollars, I hear some of his puppets who can barely read more than sixty, or near eighty thousand dollars per year, I do not know if that is true. Nevertheless, $60,000.00/12 = $5,000.00 per month, they are not civil servants; they are political appointees.
The civil servants only earn $18,000.00 per year; approximately US$6,666.67 per year…
Lennox fights with who ever interviews him whenever he gets pound. It will not be the first not the last.
Facts, facts, facts to back up are always misding. We like sensation and gossip spreading what we are not sure if it is true. When asked to,provide facts, persons get angry and defensive. We need to speak the truth at all times and not repeat like parrot what gossip breeds. Most times untruths spreads and the goodbthings, you all dkn’t even take time to read. Take for example, anything to do with Politics you are here commenting. Good things no comment. You are hurting yourselves.
I suspect the reason she kept insisting that Lennox explain, or “break it down,” is because she is unable to understand the English language as Lennox spoke it. I have not found one complicated sentence Lennox spoke that a kid just graduating kindergarten could not understand!
You see her motive is political, her foolish motive, and ambition was to embarrass Lennox, the fact is Linton seems to be a master of the English language unlike the leader of another political party, who has people writing his scripts, which he reads every nonsense they write not knowing the meaning of words, nor knowing when he is using them wrong.
Lennox is a writer, I know that for a fact, because even one of Lennox former friend, who might still be his friend in secrete but appears to be a political foe, told me he and Lennox worked together in the past, and while he took care of the legal issues, Lennox was the master of doing the writing.
Don’t expect me to mention names because…
Lennox believe it was Matt that was interviewing him, man! Matt just swallowing ALL what Lennox says(True or False) and next day …. TALK ON BLOC… And hear THEM(UWPites).. Matt!..Mattt…Mat… All Lennox was asked.. Present the facts or evidence to back up what you are saying…. That which had Mr. angry and BOOWAY…. AND SO THE INTERVIEW ENDED.
Such unprofessionalism by the host!!!!! That wasn\’t journalism???? That was utter nonsense!!!! I guess she thought for a moment that she was in the Roseau market. hhhmmm!!!!!
I have been hearing the Leader of the Opposition saying the UWP does not get air time on DBS. I am surprised that getting this opportunity to shine, he failed again.
This gentleman worked in many radio stations for years and he has hosted many a talk show and you are telling me he expected to be spoon fed on the show and dictate to the host of the program what she should ask him and when? And UWP supporters on the board are trying to blame the host? Isn’t that the same man I have heard saying on his show to callers or those he used to talk about, that if you cannot take the heat come out from where? Really?
The Opposition Leader should be a master interviewee having sat in the interviewer chair? I am very disappointed, I expected better. Reading the article, the host in my view did a very good job.
An actor comes on a talk show to discuss a new movie; the host before talking about the movie would touch on other subjects with the guest, this is normal.
It was a planned political stunt,but honourable Linton in his excellent political move exposed the host and her ilks like you…Let her go back to the drawing board and learn how to treat her guest and how to interview those who know about interview,and those that she dislike…As a little boy I saw honourable Linton interview a myriad of men and women,and never introduced political stupidity into the interview…I APPLAUD YOUR WALKING OUT FROM THIS INTERVIEW 100%!! EXCELLENT MOVE!
you are an ignorant person to believe kamala did not come to try agitate, frustrate mr linton
Hogwash!!!!!
NO wonder you refer to yourself as “Doubting……” Whatever. This lady on DBS made a fool of herself with assets worth nothing in media and mass communication. Kamala needs to excuse herself rom this political charade and it appears the only person who listened to her dearly was the Ambassador and the Doctored.
Well Done Hon Linton, nuff respect.
For a journalist by profession. Who made a living interviewing people, he apparently doesn’t like to be on the receiving end of the mike; he felt insecure and was unprepared to answer any questions if he is not in control of it.
I suppose it would have been a better interview if he had a set of prepared questions handed to the host and she would have asked him the questions he wanted to be asked and he had the answers too. I suppose he was on the wrong radio station and the wrong show.
How many times have we heard him say, if you cannot take the heat….. I guess he could not take the heat.
I’m here wondering what about this article that is so wrong to place it in a low rating category. This in my opinion is very bias.
The truth, that is why.
What does she mean by ” seasoned journalist”? Only by Dominican standards she can be considered as ” seasoned journalist.” Kamala, do you have a degree in Mass Communication?
Correct!!!!! Only by Dominican standards!!!!!!
She should ask Skerritt for a scholarship to pursue her studies in journalism and communication.
Then get an internship with a media company and work with colleagues, before you call your self “seasoned” journalist.
Word processing and administration in New York does not make you a journalist.
Skertitt propaganda machine and a kisser?
i disagree she is a seasoned journalist only by labour party standard…..
If she had a degree she should have realized that, as the Government Press Secretary, it was ill-advised to think yourself as a moderator or neutral party in interviewing any opposing political party representative.
Ask her classmates who know live in the USA. You will get nuff RORO about entering school in the USA. How is the question.
Nuff respect Lennox. The only thing I fault you is that you stayed too long talking to that……
Programme Director is out of DBS on leave (voluntary or involuntary?) because of Kamala. She had no clue that is she dat was coming to do talking point….hmmmmm
Tell kamala to go and crawl under the stone she came from.she has been singing for crums since I heard of her.i think she looks like she needs a much needed vacation.poor thing.maybe she is not eating healthy or just under nourished.
All the comments are unnecessary,news on line is having a good laugh. cut it short what you had before you was the beauty and the beasts
LL & I both know were are not each other\’s favorite persons. We have history. however this woman reminds me of the republicans primaries when trump said \”……………………………… face ,would U vote 4 dat?
In this case it would go like\” Would U employ a face like dat let alone make it GIS head? lol
Next time LL little advise from me 2 U . Do a Clint Eastwood on her.
That’s our problem here. If only we could reason.. we could listen to each other.. so we use each other’s idea to move forward.. we could be further Domininca. But the ignorance on both sides to sit and humble… to set differences aside for our beloved country is clearly what’s keeping us behind. WAY BEHIND! Kamala honestly I have no words. So fed up of the … In this country!
The guests was disrespectful to the host portrayed ignoramus deliberations. Hon Linton maintain and exercise patience, professionalism and intellectual.
This woman’s deserved to be walked out on at any forum she attempts to lead. Disgusting
Honestly, even before I started reading this article I was already expecting to find numerous instances of unprofessional behavior by Kamala Aaron. However, after reading I found it hard to disagree with the approach of the interviewer. Based on this article, I don’t feel like she was aggressive or being intentionally biased. She simply wanted to engage in an intellectual and fact-based discussion and not just entertain more political rhetoric. When she asked Linton to explain I thought that was great because now he can inform the listeners of DBS radio of the problems that the country is facing. His answers were not very specific and even superficial almost. I felt like he quickly skirted around the issues without offering any depth. Maybe he was constrained by too little time, I’m not sure. If you look at how great world leaders like Obama handle interviews they spend time explaining exactly what it is they are claiming and how the issues are affecting the people. I was…
Student of BS
Dear Student, for this analysis you receive an “Insufficient” mark, that is below 30% meaning difficult to mark. The topic for the one being interviewed was the budget speech, the first and opening question expected from us journalists will be on the subject matter and as Linton as a politician gets comfortable on this matter, the hosts uses this opportunity to inject supplementary questions obviously on political and party matters relating to and relevant to the theme on the “Budget” . Kamala came prepared to kill and not educate the public. She disrespected her audience and the issue of the Budget. So Linton was correct, refer to the budget and then compare with other matters of the UWP activities, that is its relevance. Never attempt to kill your host, you, the interview will make, as was demonstrated, a fool of yourself. ….and Madam Kamala you did a good job of this. I am still LOL…lol….lol. The walk out was well timed and expected.
Well Done Linton
Lennox was invited by DBS to talk about the 2016 budget. If you actually listen to the interview, you will see that Lennox was very tolerant of Kamala’s questions and he said over and over again that he was very willing to provide all the evidence she wants–but–in the context of the talking about the budget- which is why he was there. This interview was based on specific protocols and parameters. Kamala ignored all protocols and tried to make this a personal “lynching”/ interview. Given the limited time, I understand why Lennox did not want to stray too far off topic and every time he tried to bring the conversation back on track- Kamala was condescending and rude!! Everyone in Dominica heard Skerrit tell his followers to call UWP followers traitors wherever they meet them. Yet, Kamala pretending she didn’t hear that and she asking Lennox for evidence about that? The evidence came from Skerrit own mouth! Skerrit himself will not answer questions if they were not pre-vetted…
based on this long report I am in all my right to make an opinion. i believe this kamala individual has lost all respect for the institution of Journalism and bringing in her own self importance of mockery as a journalist… rather unprofessional and unscrupulous behaviour of kamala.. Mr Linton was in all his rights as a human being to acted the way he did. it was clear that this was pre performed kamala thought she was in a battle field and could win this one woman battle but it is clear she has embarrassed herself and the entire journalism practice . kamala my suggestion is you go to work on a construction site where you will give your others and no one will disagree with you. you are out of order and a disgrace to the Journalistic profession.. … Women are being seen as a force to reckon with men asking for equal rights and justice in the work force same salary , same working conditions etc etc and this is how you are behaving you need to have respect for yourself.
The biggest joke is that it was Lennox himself who took Kamala under his wing and trained her in journalism- when she did not have a two pennies together or a pot to piss in. Kamala owes Lennox her start in media. Under Labour Party, Kamala herself was scrunting- ……………. Today, she want to act like Ms. Primpuss because she thinks her two foot in oil. Espoire mal papaye!!
Kamala …she has no interview etiquette…she is a disgrace to journalists everywhere…this was a blatant attack on the opposition leader. People like that don’t need to be in the public eye with their bias. She is the perfect example of a damn political animal.
Explain!
Explain!
Explain!
Explain!
THE HONOURABLE GENTLEMAN should have ordered you to buy a book and pencil and go attend night school…Whose husband has written more untruth about Linton? You thought it would have been a continuation?WELL DONE HONOURABLE LINTON!
!
I am the biggest & loudest supporter of the Labour Party but Kamala was out of place. Not only was she disrespectful to Lennox but also to the Office that he holds and represents. It’s troubling that she considers herself as a “journalist”. She was not prepared to ask any questions regarding the 2016 budget which is what he was invited to discuss & her personal feelings or political bias should not have been a part of the interview. Lennox 1 Kamala “Journal ” 0
To all of the dumb saying Kamala was wrong for what she did, u all are some backward thinking fools in this country. what do you think would have happened to mr. Linton if he was on CNN or FOX being interviewed? I guarantee you he would not have lived to see the doors of parliament or even be the opposition leader again. they would have chewed him up and spit him out just as Kamala did today. I commend Kamala for a job well done.
Nonsense! Even the most rabid Fox or CNN anchor knows where to draw the line. She asked Lennox several questions, he answered. She followed up asking him to explain. He did. But she still not satisfied- why?? Because he is not saying what she want to hear? Stuuuupps. All professional journalists know when to hit hard, when to accept their guest’s answer and when to move on. How many times Lennox asked her to please move on to the questions on the budget, because that is what he came to talk about? How many times does he have to tell her- he will give her evidence she wants in the context of a budget discussion? And when she finish- she raising her voice at him and in the same breath- telling him don’t raise his voice at her- when she raised her voice at him first??! What happen- Lennox is her little boy she sending to preschool? Stuuuups. She jdiabman hardi!!
thanks for such a apt description of yourself
Take a couple of sits pleaseeeee! CNN or FOX ,for that matter any well respected media house personnel would have NEVER come across the way this so call interview was done, low down garden variety and tasteless. So take off your blinders and sit down.
wait a bit..with all these UWP comments,regardless of who she works for..the question she asked was legitimate!! he was simply asked to clarify he’s acusations and he got offended,, one would think for seasoned journalist like himself,linton would stand his ground and defended himself better than that,,instead of the name calling,you want to go on record accusing and making maligning statements,there are people out there who want to put you in your place, unless you can defend your accusations,this was an opportunity to do just that,de man went on a rump like how people in lagoon would go on,for a parliamentary rep and leader of the opposition..this man ain’t trying to be primeminister
and the question she asked was still budget factored,because he keep claiming the budget was crap,they were more interested in dividing the country with the rally,so going to the house was just a sham
You are one of those wearing ignorance as a badge of honour…This lady was extremely unprofessional,raising her voice at the guest,exposing her ignorance about simple budgetary terms,and I am happy that her plan backfired…Honestly I applaud the patience of honourable Linton….I WOULD HAVE EXPLODED ON THE LADY LONG TIME!!!She came out as the loser!!!!HER PLAN BACKFIRED!!!
Very poor interview, lack professionalism. The interviewer was confrontational and Lennox allowed his anger to dictate his conduct.
an interview is an interview, professionalism is professionalism, despise to the questions ask as the LEADER OF THE OPPOSITON Mr. Linton should have never behavior the way he did.
The people of Dominica were listening so that should have made him rethink of his actions, Linton came from that kind of back ground/work so he know what was expected of the interviewer of at lease had an idea, I don’t think he represented his party nor his followers to the highest level.
I as a born citizen was listening,and I applaud the move by honourable Linton..
Well done sir ,that’s how you deal with this lady…She was out of place and disrespectful!!!.
I support that view whole heartedly
We all know that Linton second name is walkout
He walk out of school
Walk out of house
That is the mans name
Can you imagine that as prime minister of Dominica
At the UN he might end up fighting or walking out
So we say Lennox Walkout Linton
Kamala is simply a mouthpiece of the Government, we all know that. She does nothing except praise everything Labour, she is not an intelligent independent person that she thinks she is. However Lennox should have handled her better, she would not be difficult for him to out debate if he kept his cool.
The biggest question is WHO made the decision to have her conduct this interview because that was a hit job against Lennox.
Entertaining? Yes. But was Dominica benefited by this planned political circus?
Any new markets for our farmers?
Any more visitors & tourists?
Any improvements in our roads?
Any more lives saved in our healthcare system?
Anyone changed their opinion?
It’s time to get beyond the distractions and focus on what the people really need. Dominica can do better.
GREAT POINT
Dear Sam,
May I add my 5 cents piece as LL often said on whatabout.
Any new markets for our farmers?
Any more visitors & tourists?
Any improvements in our roads?
Any more lives saved in our healthcare system?
Anyone changed their opinion?
Answer they will give many more passports sold- the profits and proceeds split between the treasury & the agents. Someone asked me so we come? replied that\’s how we\’ve always been. Mascarades
Hmmmmm reminds me of her interview with the Bishop
I think it was a stalemate on both sides.
Lennox Linton getting riled up too easily. He should have requested politely that somebody else interview him, since Kamala could not really be impartial. They already have a court case between them, so I didn’t think anything good would have come out of the fact that Kamala would be the one doing the interview.
Secondly, Kamala seems to have taken a very combative position from the get-go. I felt like the frequent pauses was her picking her words carefully so that she not get another lawsuit slapped on her. However, as a seasoned journalist, she ought to know that her opinions don’t count. You are there to do an interview. You can play devil’s advocate and ask a pointed, probing question. But her questioning amounted to harassment and belaboring of a point.
Thirdly, I feel that whoever set up this interview knew jolly well it was going to be a battle royale. (More ratings to boost up a third-rate radio station).
Hahahha, I really have to laugh because the outcome was inevitable. Kamala almost as insufferable as her husband and Lennox does not suffer fools gladly, so you must get fireworks. I wonder if Kamala would have the balls to try and grill P.M. like that? Oops sorry, I forgot, she has no balls!
Tjebe fort short memory much? You forgot she was loved by UWP when she handled the PM on an interview some years back? Typical UWP, only when it suits them .Spin this on Kamala which way you all want but Lennox just displayed his usual bad ways which will go down in history as evidence of his ill temper and unreadiness to be leader. The tapes will play forever
History will not be kind to a lot of people in Dominica . Maurice Bishop said something about Dominica that is still evident today, no change backwardness and yard foul mentality. watch how long Bishop was killed and Dominica still backward and practicing the Westminister style of politics to a perfect tee.
Her unprofessionalism is a very poor reflection of the organization she represents. She should be reprimanded for her behavior.
@just thinking, while you are thinking, are you thinking about reprimanding the leader of the opposition for his usual out bursts? We can reprimand one and leave the other can we? Oops I forgot, Lennox is a saint. But If I wuz Lennox I would be mad at my upholders for not encouraging me to change my ways we, that’s not friendship at all
*an has arrogance that is…..* sorry typo
whew loool where to start…..ok
Kamala acts like her s….t don’t stink and lennox ego bigger than his head an has arrogance is out of this world and has absolutely no charm…i honestly thought these 2 would act like professionals but was bitterly disappointed.
calling the woman a “political animal” was wayyyy out of line it reminded me of the time that other female reporter was attacked by lennox ….do you have an issue with women expressing themselves lennox??? i wouldn’t want to hear how u talk to your wife when she disagrees with u.
And finally kamala u aself set a trap for d man and i don’t think you should have been the one to conduct the interview
so all those that keeping score its Dominica 0
This was not not an interview. It was an ambush. And the lady press secretary ended up looking more foolish than the politician she tried to ambush. The line of questioning sounded pretentious and did not project any journalistic acumen. The lady needs to be reminded again that she is Government Press secretary. She should leave the politicking to the politicians.
Lennox cannot represent Dominica with this attitude. Look at the fire he giving Skerritt and he letting a woman make him lash out ……lol
And Skerrit is referring to him as bastard,cursing etc.
This is sad!! This sounds like kamala was more interested in having a debate with Linton than presenting his views to the public. Whether labourite or workers people need to have respect for the Leader of tbe opposition. The level of professionalism in this woman is sub par and despicable. This is the level of garbage that Dominicans come to accept as norm. Fools seem to pass as professionals and deception and trickery disguised as wisdom. Our national radio has lost all its credibility to me by this interview and having this lady on there.
Linton this was a trap and you walked right into it and they got you- ‘they got their man’ and they got him good.’
Count yourself lucky she did not embarrass you further by asking you to spell ‘RED’
.
Linton you know better than that to talk to Kamala about anything except the weather forecast.
That was a mistake and you need to owned up to it.
You are forgiven because we all make mistakes.
Kamala thought is her little child she had at the Interview man???Based on what I read, this lady’s aim had absolutely nothing t o do with budget,but the aim was to try to embarrass honourable Linton,and this is not surprising..I am pleased that Linton walked out of this disrespectful interview…Guess she is interviewing herself now…By the way if the basic answers given were beyond her comprehension,then she needs to bury her shame and go back to school!!!!
Kamala was just plain wrong for the interview. As a professional journalist as she keep claiming though i would like to see some certificates. She had it for Mr Linton that’s my opinion . She could have started with talking about the budget and slowly waltz her way into Linton brain and sweet talk him into talking about anything but no she went after him like a raging bull . from the very start i said that Linton should walk out . i listened and then turn to the channel then i heard he walked out . Proud of him .kamala too out of place .
Karmala wanted another opportunity to be in the news as still being one of Skerrit junk yard watch dog.
Karmala just wanted a confrontation. She began the interview with a distasteful approach.
Linton tried his best to be cslm but Karmala kept pushing the buttons.
SO correct!!!!! Again, only in Dominica can such things be!!!!!
Kamala is sure in line to replace Alix Boyd Knight, as house speaker. She is just as bias, and so far we know all she needs is a little promotion, say a dollar more than her current salary and she will curse the opposition like that old speaker.
So Linton was working at Q95 wen he was hosting that program “BETWEEN ALL YOU AND HIM”??
Very poor rated interview the host lack interviewing skills, has no respect for the Client she was interviewing . Miss Jno Baptiste should tell her PM she is not capable of taking on the task HOWEVER she embarrassed the whole world. Hmm what a shame. The manager of the Radio Station should invite her back to apologize. And Mr Cecil Joseph you should steep in and do bamage control Dominica what a waste of people’s time tuning in to listen to a constructive interview left us all with or mouth open wide speechless.
Kamala is very out of order l
Tell Lennox stop taking happy Dominicans problems for his own. Clearly things are 100% better in DA. Stop worrying yourself about happy people. lol the people you fighting for not voting for your party. Let them be.
Very true. The very same people that Mr. Linton is making a claim for are the very ones who who continue to vote foolishly for Skerrit the dictator. Many of them can hardly feed themselves!!!!!
Poor Dominica!!!
Police that’s not the way to express yourself about people, poor expression
You hit the nail right on the head. Lennox is too concerned about Dominicans who are truly better off than in those days.
I am being fair. If Lennox did something good in Dominica I will compliment him and encourage him.
All what is occurring in Dominica did not exist then. If it keeps up and proceeding to the point of additional progress, many who reside abroad, will definitely consider returning home. It is still our country. Our bodies left home but not our hearts.
Lennox attitude is much ado about nothing; making a mountain out of a molehill. If only he would relax and allow the PM to perform his elected job. He, in turn should do what he can for the people of Marigot who elected him because of James who relinquished his position to give him this opportunity.
For what I have been reading on DNO about Dominica, I am elated. I resided in Dominica and what is occurring there today, the progress did not occur when I resided there. All should agree.
As a patriotic Dominican and in all fairness; I believe that Kamala should have been more professional than this. She should have allowed Mr. Linton to speak about the budget and then ask questions from his remarks. The manner in which she commenced was uncalled for; you don’t start to throw questions at the gentleman as he comes. On the other hand the manner in which the questions where phrased and posed could have gotten anyone upset. I guess that she already had her questions prepared so she went right into it. Kamala should have put aside her party color and acted in a more professional manner as a talk show host. I have been listening to “the talking point” program whilst on vacation and I believe that if she has to continue on this program she is only going to bring it to disrepute. My reason being, she never listens when someone is speaking, she needs to listen to others opinion, stop butting in when someone is speaking, because this is only going to stir up an argument.
She is an Angela Joli wanna be, not Christiana Armanpour, or Leslie Stall, Diane Sawyer admirer. She is just a show girl who belongs on the runway. She displays abnormal social skills and is unable to put her differences aside to conduct an cordial interview with Mr. Linton.
if you are taking the time to say she is or want to be like all those people, wow then take the time to make her know that she has some great mentors in the business.
she carries her self in a professional manner and nothing is wrong with that, you said she is a Dianna Sawyer admirer then I will give it up to her since you don’t want to do it…….. you go girl and hold your head up high……………………
Linton is used to being ask soft questions by Matt on Q where he can go on rabbiting as much as he likes. I wonder did he know who the interviewer was? if he did he should know it wouldn’t be an easy ride one can remember the banter she had with DR Clayton Shillingford in regards to the DAS she is the best
Honourable Linton can answer all tyoes oc questions, but his responses were spot on,and the unprofessionalism of the host was exposed.WELL DONE HONOURABLE LINTON!!!
What an ignoramus… why did I click to see such an idiotic comment
All hosts of programs are different. They ask certain questions and the invitees could be ill-prepared to respond. This is what surprises them.
When the late Mandela visited the US, I recall when a US TV host asked Mandela a question and he responded, how shocked he was at Mandela’s reply. It was the talk internationally. I clipped out that article from the newspapers.
Therefore, they must be prepared to be asked some out-of-the-way questions and to promptly answer them, both ways. It is normal.
Lennox is always critical and on the defensive. He is thin-skinned. He must also develop a sense of humor, be broad-minded and be prepared for whatever question is asked. This is why it is called an interview.
That goes without saying Mr Linton. This is a dictatorship. You need to stay on target and not be pulled into the gutter by these people. You should know by now that if you are on DBS, you are not in friendly territory.
How Kamala so ner
Lennox 1, Kamala 0
Linton be a man you always say Matt running when given opportunities but look who chicken out you. You running from a woman hmm you need some balls you knew Kamala would not let you have you way that is not Matt In The Morning you say and do as you wish…..
Those who are stupid and don’t want to Lesson stay stupid. Mr. Lin, it is tuff at the top, the questions were simple, just needed technical answers, tell people what they want to hear, your mind is firmly on skerrit. There is a crisis world over, plus we suffer the dreaded storm name Erika, yet he put some money here and there to help most needed to make a restart, and then you dig the loop holes here and there, but most of the questions have already been answered. World crisis and Erika. There was no boxing match, so we cannot expect winner and loser. Mr.Lin must learn to remain calm under pressure, and finally ,you cannot ask a question on a question. Good move on Bothe sides.
The only thing that I understand from your comment is “remain stupid”.
Hence, I will just remain stupid…
What are you really saying?
You are correct. My view is, the problem with Lennox he still has not got over the thought of losing the election. I am downright stating it is visible that he hates the PM.
I am unable to comprehend that whatever the PM says and does including his ministers, they are so consistently criticized. This is abnormal that nothing they do in general is acceptable.
Lennox must resign himself that he is not the PM. He is the Opposition Leader.
Lennox must pray to God to assist him, to release the hatred and critical attitude which he harbors and projects and to grace him with complacency, peace of heart and mind. He is badly in need of these godly virtues.
He must also pray the Serenity Prayer which everyone should know:
O God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference. Amen!
Your comment demonstrates your black tainted and evil heart,and it won’t change…Anytime you see the honourable gentleman’s 3 name,you get out of hibernation and start spitting venom…This evil heart of yours needs God!!!I refer to people like you as evil..
@Tell the Facts August 8, 2016
Not only did Lennox lose the elections, he continues to lose from one aspect to the other. His rating as the Leader of the Opposition is not what any Leader would accept; I am sure that he is aware that this role of his is in jeopardy –the man is a very unhappy man; that is what he is showing through his emotional outburst.
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN Lennox, you just gave the labourites 100% prof that you are indeed aragant. You cannot respond to a question by saying this is my opinion. Kamala had very right to ask you for further evidence which you should have GIVEN. You are making statements back them up. Instead you choose to walk out. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT.
While you, a hater, are disappointed based on the idiocy you have blogged,I am elated that the honourable gentleman has walked out of this COMMESS,which you and Kamala called an interview..This was simply a continuation of the disrespect which occurs in our PARLIAMENT.In addition if the host does not have the intellect,don’t interview anyone…Why the explanations of the basic ordinary answers?So your piffle,cloaked in hatred suggests that you too are totally empty about what it is to interview someone!!!The host needs to respect the guest,at all times!!!
If people oppose Lennox they do not hate him. They hate/dislike his attitude. You people exercise hatred toward the PM. You comments also depict it.
Honorable? He did not exercise diplomacy. During a budget he decided to have a protest rally. Is this honorable? Whose side is he on? Not even the side of those who voted for him.
Is this the type of leader you would like for Dominica, for yourself, one who is always obstinate and on the warpath? You ask for and expect very little. This tells me very little about those who do.
Dear Dominican,
What are U really insinuating, what is it he has to back up, Mr. Linton is here to save D/ca from further devastation, to make D/ca get to the standard of the other Caribbean countries to make U and those who think like U look like some body among the rest of the region, not even the world,
Did U watch the opening of the Olympic, were U not ashamed to see all the other Caribbean countries were being represented by a team from their country, and D/ca had 2 representative one, from Cuba and the other from the USA, where are the facilities to train your very own?
Your PM. is the richest PM. in the region, and D/ca is the poorest in the region bordering Haiti, what’s wrong with u all stupidness?
I stopped at ‘prof’, read further, then stopped at ‘aragant’ .. shows the intelligence of you people
@The Facts…This piffle and hypocrisy you are spouting demonstrates and depicts your heart.It’s dark and evil…Why then when people speak the truth anout Skerrit you stay from your hiding place in Timbocktu and blogg idiocy…The honourable gentleman has made me proud of his action..Walk out when foolishness and hatred wants to pass as interview…Hope your dark heart does not cause you to collapse!
Lennox Linton is an embarrassment to himself, the people of Marigot, the United Workers Party, and the Commonwealth of Dominica!!!
you are an embarrassment to yourself because just like the thousands of Dominicans who only care about going to beg for petty cash we don’t care about the issues like failed health care, failed state , lack of jobs and I could go on. Don’t bother about Lennox Linton worry about yourself Jessie about your children and grandchildren’s future cause Skerro surely aren’t worried about yours or mine his born in USA. All you dominicans just wicked but don’t worry mother earth is crying and I pray she has mercy on all of us.
Ignoramus is the perfect word wen u feel wen hector an Monel an even Linton went to the same prime minister office to BEG
@ jessie, I emphatically agree with you that Roosevelt Skerrit is an embarrassment to Dlp, Dominicans, the Caribbean, the world, and yes, the office of the prime minister. Take a look his appointees to see how embarrassing he is. 1. Kamala -talking point host on DBS; 2. Alix Boyd Knight -house speaker; 3 Charles Savarin -president of Dominica; 4 . Daniel Carbon -police chief 5. Ricky Brumant-director of agriculture and many more. Jessie, can we honestly look at any of the above appointees and point success? Don’t curse me out but instead just point out the successes. If u can’t then we are correct to conclude that Skerrit is a bid embarrassment to all of us, including laborites like myself
He is CERTAINLY NOT an embarrassment to me…I applaud him loudly for walking out of sight of Kamala….He should not have even made an appearance in the first place!!!!WELL DONE HONOURABLE LINTON!
@% August 8, 2016
And whom did you say you are? I did not get that!
Speak for yourself Jessie. Lennox embarrassed no one. Kamala is the one who made an a of herself this morning, confirming what we know her to be, biased and a fake journalist. And why was she the one chosen to interview Linton today when everyone knows that they have issues and are even in court over defamation? and being Govt Press Secretary to boot! Did anyone actually expect Kamala to be fair and balanced in her “interview”? Lennox’s only mistake was not walking out immediately when he saw that it was that who was carded to interview him.
Chrissy
The point is everyone in Dominica already knows that Kamala is a puppet of Skerrit, but the Leader of the Opposition who is vying to be Prime Miniter cannot allow himself to be so easily rattled by lowering himself to her level, and that is what makes him unfit for the office of Prime Minister. You have to be able to banter with her, smile with her, and make her look petty but instead you lose your temper, just like he always does and storms out which portrays him as an angry man who can’t handle pressure, quick to anger and slightly emotionally unstable with no sense of humour, charisma or ability to charm a hostile interviewer, and all of these things make him unfit to lead…
just as you are jessie
You are correct. Sadly, his supporters do not see it.
This is one more opportunity Lennox had to prove to the Dominican people that he has the temperament to seat and answer any question ask of him regardless who the person asking the question represent, and he has once again fail.
A politician should be prepared to answer any question posed to him and to answer to the best of his ability and amicably. Lennox showed that he is incapable of doing so.
That would show the country some of his leadership skills, strong point
First and foremost I will blame the management at DBS. Are we saying that our journalists at DBS are not capable of interviewing Hon Lennox Linton on the 2016 budget? Where was Curtis, Ivona, Sharmaine or even that of our sports reporter? Are we saying they are incapable of handling an interview? What is Mrs. Aaron role at DBS? Isn’t she the press secretary to the Prime Minister? were they trying to embarrass her or that of the Opposition Leader? Is that what Dominica is coming too? Alas poor Dominica……
Father God lend a helping hand….we are so desperately in need of it.
So…..This is very embarrassing!! I cannot understand why a “professional journalist” would have behaved in such a manner. Kamala Aaron: You were asked to interview Mr. Linton…your questions were pretty much confusing at times and you were grasping for words. Then each time the gentleman answered your question he was asked to explain. Explain answers that was simple; when he did not answer to your satisfaction you’d get mad and answer them as you THOUGHT he should. I really don’t know what clown show that was going on this morning. This was very shameful and Mr. Linton had a right to walk out. I even found that he stayed too long. From the first time she started interrupting and getting on he should have left. I’m not for NO party but this is beyond foolish and childish. SMH. Only on Dominica!!!
Some people as you missed the point.
Nothing is missing…people like you need to cleanse the heart or you wont see the truth…
Kamala came, she saw and tried to conquer Hon Lennox Linton. It would appear that she did not understand that despite all the criticisms by her husband about Lennox Linton’s education he is not easily conquered when he is in front of a microphone. I cannot understand why DBS would ask Kamala to interview Mr. Linton when she is awaiting her day in court, she was sued by Linton for deformation of character. Her husband is PRO of the DLP and has been attacking Mr. Linton non stop on print media and radio since September 2013. She is the press secretary of the Prime Minister, Mr. Linton is the Prime Minister in waiting. The Manager of DBS is a potoe Labor. Kamala might not consider herself human, but under the circumstances, only Jesus Christ could interview a Pharisee and not be bias towards him. What better way to convince Skeritt that her husband should be appointed Dominica’s Ambassador to the United Nations or she be appointed the next Madame Speaker.
Modahed… “deformation of character” lololollllllllllllllllllllllllll
When there is nothing else left to criticize, critic a typo but I believe everyone knows what is being said.
Is she serious?He was there to discuss the budget.So any question that does not relate to the budget is out of line.So you were out of line to ask him questions that has nothing to do with the budget.’Also to engage your guest on live radio is extremely unprofessional.You sounded very combative and angry.As a so called journalist you need to be respectful to your host I respectful of who they are.Talk about the real issue in a none bias way.
Why does Mr Linton help them kinda of people get to him like that , he should never accepted that invitation because this host is just not professional at all . Her position is not legit . See what she got a kairi but still will not learn .Mr did just find let her talk to herself.
I wonder, could you do a better job?
Everyone except you would do a better job,because you are part of the accomplices of evil,from wherever you are hiding from and spewing your venom against honourable Linton!!!
So where is the part where he call the host a political animal show down ha ha ha
but he is right only is dominica. Lennox leave them karma takes care of the wicked
He projected how disrespectful he is.
I know this article is probably quite juicy to reading public. To me, it’s a grand waste of time. It’s been so many years since we were promised a new hospital and it’s only today that the ground breaking ceremony will take place. How many lives could have been saved if our health care sector was being updated slowly over that same time period? At some point in time, we need to get our priorities in order. This continuous “Political Clown Show” must end as quickly as it began.
@Anthony P. Ismael August 8, 2016 \” How many lives could have been saved if our health care sector was being updated slowly over that same time period\”
Everyone has their own opinion and so do you, however there are times we need to examine our thoughts before we express them. If I were you I would hold on to that thought of yours above.
When it comes to death or the passing of the body, no one has control of that. Lives are saved only if that person\’s days on earth was longer than the anticipated sign of death. There is no health faculty that is upgraded enough to stop someone from passing away, if that person\’s days on earth has ended.
But then again, this has nothing to do with the subject at hand, does it!
so are you saying we don’t need health professionals and that we don’t need clinics and hospitals?..
Anthony you are very much right…..
slowly but surely in the right direction we would have been much further in our health sector..
seems grace****him knows that they don’t need medical attention and no form of medical
assistant would save them from anything..
simply astonishing
They were waiting for some money/donations from you.
Some of you are too critical and loud-mouthed. You have more mouth and fingers than helpfulness/generosity. What have you ever contributed to assist Dominica?
A “rabid political animal” hmm..and a very disrespectful one at that. Why do people let Authority go to their heads..
DBS Radio like Roro, to invite Lennox and let Kamala loose on him like that. Her tone was Super Authoritative and horribly accusatory..As if she saw the need to establish and assert her position in Studio 2..
Dominicans keep paying tax to support bullSkat!!
Evident that she was out to cause problems.Amazed Linton was prepared to try and have a serious conversation with her.
are we for real here? linton was answering all questions asked of him until he was asked to provide evidence to back up his accusations of the pm being a leader who thinks that it is treasonous to criticize him. That is where he lost his and behaved like a fool and exhibited no leadership. is that what we should expect of a leader? crying shame.
He should have exercised patience. He lacks it..
Patience is one of the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. He needs to cultivate it.
As the late dear Mother Angelica, Foundress of EWTN (RIP) stated, “You cannot go to Heaven if you lack patience and are always angry.” Mortal and spiritual food for thought.
Our Lord said: “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” If we do not practice this on earth, where will we be able to practice it in order to obtain eternal salvation?
Are you saying by the same token that those who respond to you should exercise patience??You don’t exercise patience with those who are so disrespectful…That’s why I don’t exercise patience with you…May be after you cleanse your vile heart,but until then,NO WAY!!
Lennox has been in Dominica long enough to understand the politics of the place. What did he expect from that woman?
The fact is we must be able to answer certain questions. Consider yourself at an interview, even as a job applicant. Consider the questions which are not related to the job will be asked. Should this not inform you that at any interview certain questions will be asked which may not related? It occurs all the time. If you do not respond appropriately, you may not be employed.
In our social life, how many times we are asked questions even by those whom we associate with that are out-of-the-way ones and unrelated to the conversation we are engaged in?
Believe me. I sometimes experience this. They could be annoying. I know how to answer them without getting angry and without informing the person to mind their own business. What happens? In the end be it the reply is sarcastic, we have a good laugh.
Lennox must be flexible, know how to respond and apply tact. He must not always be so serious.
I do think he also needs to learn proper communication skills.
But you can’t invite me to a jib interview on engineering for an hour and for the first half hour of interview you asking me about gapes and pears and expect me to be part of your nonsense.
Linton missed an opportunity to demonstrate maturity and grace under pressure. He is a politician and should expect questions like those. The winning option was to respond with humility and allow the interviewer to think that she is winning. A missed opportunity.
Absolute rubbish! It was the interviewer’s job to get the opposition leader’s views on the budget,
For the the benefit of the public! The interview was not meant to bring out Karmala’s views on
Anything. Both DBS and Karmala’s should know that. Shame!
Indeed!
Lol… same ole, same ole. A leopard can’t change it’s spot. This man is a BULLY!
Correct!
Both parties need to take responsibility here. Linton and Kamala are 2 of Dominica’s biggest egos. Kamala asked relevant questions and even if there was a main focus – the budget, the questions she asked to open up was very relevant and this was Linton’s opportunity to boast about what they do. However, Kamala was wrong to interject so many times and sway the responses in the direction she wanted him to answer.
Linton on the other hand should know that in his position he cannot be shallow in his responses and should substantiate his claims. It is known in huge interviews like these that the interviewer can probe for more information or facts to back up claims.
At the end of the day, the person(s) who selected Kamala to facilitate this interview in her current position as Press Secretary to interview the leader of the Opposition is at fault. If you want an objective person then selecting someone who is not bias to party would of been a wise choice.
precisely!
“At the end of the day, the person(s) who selected Kamala to facilitate this interview in her current position as Press Secretary to interview the leader of the Opposition is at fault. If you want an objective person then selecting someone who is not bias to party would of been a wise choice.” Nuff said.
The interview could have been amicable and successful. For a politician Linton did not conduct himself appropriately.
As a previous journalist, is it that he is not aware or have forgotten that certain unrelated questions would be asked? If it were the reverse, he would have done the same or probably worst. He should have been prepared for that.
Lennox simply evaded the questions which were embarrassing to him and his unbecoming actions as a Leader of the Opposition. He failed and is also a disappointment.
My GOD!!!
As usual Linton was defensive but the host was too combative. When Linton asked to move the topic to the budget all she had to say was “I will get there soon”. But she chose to be confrontational. When Linton refused to elaborate on his accusations she chose to force him to explain. A professional journalist would simply move on. You can’t fore someone to answer a question the way you would like them to. The DA public was the loser.
have some respect you invited him so, so lets talk bout what I say not what u say,
she was waiting for that man eh
These interviews are not abnormal. They do not always go as planned. Some preliminary questions must be asked especially pertaining to the invitee’s political attitude. No matter what the annoying questions, very seldom does someone insult the host of the program and walk out of an interview. Linton erred.
It seems like professionalism is no more in Dominica, a simple interview and the women can’t be objective
what a b….. the guess always have to last say.she has no respect.. she was ready for him all along
Yeah she was maybe grinning from ear to ear in her sleep last night, dreaming of getting Lennox
x 
What type of interviews do you view? Some mentality. You are wrong. The host controls the interview and has the last say. At the end of the interview the host thanks the invitee and shakes his/her hand. If the interview is positive and successful, the host will extend another invitation for a future interview.
………………………. WAHWWWWW!!!
Again, no winners!!!
The public continues to suffer what seem to be a typical but horrible day in DA politics!!!!
Who caused it?
The rabid political animal did.
not surprised, dominica is a kind of a place……
but it sums up as the poorest and slowest economy in the oecs…
dominica is a thumps down island, and will continue proudly in that manner..
I disagree with you. However if you feel so, pray for Dominica and perform some acts of love and mercy in/for Dominica.
Excellent, entertaining story. Very well written. I look forward to reading more political coverage, like this!
Individuals who choose to work in a professional capacity have the obligation to provide an air of professionalism that would likely foster a quality relationship with their guests and the hope of repeat business. Professionals in the line of work have been authorized to check their humanity at the door only to sneak a ton of baggage in their purses and briefcases. Where do you keep all that attitude?”
Has someone slipped bitterness into the water cooler again?
The guests must also be compromising. Guests should not be on the defensive and refuse to answer questions. Keep in mind, no one can read a person’s mind. If guests are not interested in answering certain questions, there are ways of responding diplomatically. They could say, “This is how I feel or this is my opinion. . . .”
It was miss Jno bapiste aaron duty to ask relevant questions of her choice but also to consider the views and opinions of Mr. Linton. He attempted severely times to discuss the matter which he was invited to discuss, but miss Jno bapiste Aaron continued to deny his opinion and interrogated him instead
“several times”
All he simply had to do was to briefly answer the question. He did not have to prolong the response.
But Kamala not easy. Where dey get ha nah? I don’t understand this.. why didn’t Shermaine do the interview? She would have been a lot more professional.
i’m a labourite at heart, i stop listen to kairi because of this piece of ………..!!!! and im going to do the same to dbs because of this piece of …………..!!!!! and because of this piece of ……………!!!!! i will take back my vote
THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND AND MAKING A LABOUR VOTER LIKE ME SINCE 1985 LOOK STUPID
You should utilize your common sense about this interview. You have not done so.
Nice recap DNO. I wish some people would remove their res tinted lens and realise that Kamala has scored no victory. While it is sad that Lemnox reverted to form and walked out…who can really blame him? This woman is incredibly agressive on air. Even while she presents like she is the absolute authority on media practice. No winners here in my view.
This is very serious! If this was the tone of the conversation then we have a huge problem on our hand on this Island. While the host acted within her parameters demanding evidence the material at hand should have been the budget. Even after Linton expressed his views, they seemed to have been technically overturned!
Well this doesn’t surprise me because no longer can Dominicans express themselves openly, Jobs are continuing to take a fall for the worse, no increases for public servants, cost of living sprouts up, and dictatorship spreads from top to bottom!
There are two explanations for this: the unemployed and the persons who pay no or little taxes are greater in number than the working class and business owners; and do not understand the logistics of business, as a result drag businesses down basically by voting.
Additionally, persons with direct benefit persuade the unemployed and the ignorant, making empty promises to satisfy their needs.
We have a problem here!
Kamala should know better. Lennox isn’t use to people asking him tough questions. He’s use to saying whatever he wants on Q. He is not mature enough to handle this type of conversations and does not have the temperament to be a leader. Sorry to say but UWP fini-bat with that leadership.
@?? August 8, 2016
Yes, you have a good point, but you spoiled it with you idea that Kamala should know better. This is not about whether or not Kamala knows better, she is just one person, whom we can simply reject or accept–regardless of her role; I could say the same for Lennox Linton
The problem is that Lennox is in a vital role, as leader of the opposing Government, but he continues to present nothing in him that qualifies him for that role. So where do we go from here?
I applaud Ho.ourable Linton for walking out…Is Kamala a kindergarten child?Why does she need an explanation for every question answered?She should be ashamed of herself.What kind of intellect does she have?OMG!!!!
“stop behaving like the rabid political animal you are”. She took that on e right in the jaw!! lol!
Politics is divisive in truth. Its hard to separate the lies from the games, from the truth. In your situation, I would have also walked out. However, it appears that the intention was to get you agitated, maybe even force you to have a slip of the tongue.
I don’t agree with the name calling, regardless of how true it may or may not be. Nonetheless, I respect how you handled yourself. As a man, you took the less dirty road.
Respect!
hahaha!
I wonder who got matched to whom? And the winner is?………….
Yes that’s a leader well said. I stand with you. Puppet Kam!!!!
Linton seemed to be all defensive and lost it, but it’s weird being interviewed on a state run station, by someone who works directly for the ruling party.
How can you say “Lennox seemed to be all defensive and lost it?”
However, in the same breath found it weird that Lennox was interviewed by someone working for the ruling party! Your intelligence should tell you that from the word go, the moment Skerrit gave the go ahead the plan was for the that girl, another of Skerrit’s puppet to try to create a situation to embarrass Lennox.
It’s a strategy, a ploy to deflect from something, if I am being interviewed and every comment I make, or every sentence I speak, the interviewer insists that I explain it or break it down to her, that is an indication that the intelligence if the person always demanding an explanation is not on the same level with me educationally, or they are simply deliberate.
The fact is Skerrit, and his kind believe that Lennox is not capable; and they are doing all within their power to keep him down, but as we see the ploy backfired in their face: Lennox did not lost it they try to insult his intelligence,…
he will never be my leader
Who Cares?
Lmao I checking that too yh. Skerrit is 2″ short of a dictator!!
What does that have to do with me as a blogger?
6Go dump your hate at the landfill..Did you even listen to the kind of thing that Kamala called an interview?
