Members of the media get Cindy Rosan’s account series of events.

Members of the media today staged a walk-out at a press conference called by Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley who reportedly refused to admit one media representative into the conference.

The media personnel who the Premier sought to bar was Cindy Rosan of Guavaberry Media.

As members of the various media entities (including Rosan) sat and waited for the Premier to commence the conference, which was scheduled to start at 2pm, Chief Information Officer at the Government Information Service (GIS) Desiree Smith approached Rosan to have a private conversation.

    I do not know when these people will get it right that the majority of Dominicans support Skerrit and the DLP.UWP and their supporters are too corrupt to be in power in Dominica.UWP main media man is the media whore on q95.This media whore does not even know the 3 branches of government is (1)Executive (2)Legislature and(3)Judiciary.This guy is such a dunce,he ask members of the 2019 election observers if they are monitoring the airport.The answer was there is no poling station at the airport.These people spread fake news,give false information,lie and gossip so much,they cannot ask Skerrit the question they are lying about.Because he will prove to them they are LIARS along with their supporters,so they ask BS questions……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

    It is time that Skerrit stand up and put all kinds of rats,cockroaches blue bedbugs in their place.People flying drones over the man residence.Dogs,pigs and idiots threatening to kidnap the man family.Every day they are insulting the man and his family.There is a semi-lunatic,Webster eating dictionary,7 toe Jacka from St.Joseph always insulting the PM.Another bunch of hungry,maltwavy aholes always on DNO braying like DON. KEYS giving people the impression that their big idiotic and nonsensical words and babbling statements can prevent them from being like fowls in the yard.For years Skerrit has been taking BS and doing nothing about it.UWP under nothing than violence,the only learn with the billboard.on their A.

    Most of these Caribbean heads of government want to control everything in their country. The longer they stay in power the more corrupt and dictatorial they become.

    These men of straw want cotton candy questions from the media like what presently obtains in Dominica. The tough, probing questions they give long evasive responses to or become irate.

    In any country (Dominica is a perfect example) where the vast majority of the inhabitants are beggared, corruption is rampant and the news media worthless or collude with the oppressive incumbent regime.

    As I well know, censorship in one form or another is nothing new in the BVI.

    Thirty years ago two of my publications, “Right to a Father” and “Justice in Jeopardy”, were banned by a Court Order orchestrated by a favoured family linked to the judiciary.

    You see, in Dominica not one single member of the media/press would have the guts to do this. This is a prime example of what a grip this CM has on the citizens. I have been saying it so many times, the time will come very soon, when this man can’t be challenged at all anymore and we will experience similar things as they happen in North Korea as we speak. The ruling party will be replaced by the ruling family and they will be in charge of all government departments. I warned all you 15 years ago, that we are heading in that direction.

      Why don’t you see things for what they are and not on your ideological or political partisan beliefs, would you carry this behavior in a Courtroom, lol. You talk about warning us 15 years ago about the direction of the Government, but it is funny you never look at the people with whom you are allied with and part of their agenda would self-destruct themselves. You are not a political pundit, keep your warning to yourself and be content with it, what you believe and think has no bearing on the directing as to how the Country is Governed, and it does nothing to help the agenda you are part of, so long.
