Linton fined

Linton

Well-known talk show host Lennox Linton has been ordered to pay a fine of $50, 000 for statements about prominent chartered accountant Keiron Pinard-Byrne.

High court judge Brian Cottle handed down the ruling Wednesday saying Linton remained unapologetic for claims of defamation against Pinard-Byrne through an article aired on local radio in 2002.

Cottle did not hand down the punishment without emphasizing that some media personnel have a “disturbing” tendency to make reckless statements without factual grounds.

The High Court Judge said he considered the loss of earnings Pinard-Byrne may have suffered as a result of the claims which Linton made publicly, as well as Linton’s unrepentant demeanor, in arriving at his decision.

    well suited name papadom because your statement is kindagarten stuff, Lennox had high level lawyer representing him,since 2002 the case on and they could not convince the learned judge,so in one radio program he can represent himself aND INSINUATE THAT the justice was not serve,my my .Some of his talk-show addictc even suggesting that the judge was bribed,,,alas,—now you know LL that running your mouth is costly $50g—hope you learn from that and use your God-given talent for building -up or else you will be treated like the foolish virgins

    I think Lennox could have helped himself if he was less ARROGANT and spewed LESS VENOM. If you are wrong and cannot admit you are wrong, on the contrary trying to make the judge look foolish, he will be angry. YOU SEE I LISTEN TO LENNOX ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH NO FAULT OF MINE(MY NEIGHBOURS RADIO) AND YOU KNOW WHAT, ALL THIS DOES IS SPREAD HATRED. IF YOU SUPPORT SKERRIT YOU WILL BE ANGRY, IF YOU SUPPORT WORKERS YOU WILL BE MORE ANGRY. IT IS TIME THAT WE THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK. TOO MUCH SENSATION TO OBTAIN POSITION EQUALS PAY BIG MONY. SORRY LENNOX USE WHAT YOU COLLECT FROM PAYPAL.

    “IF” what Lennox said as to the words complained of by KPB are true, then it is clear that justice has not been served in this case. The case should have been thrown out by the court on two grounds; the time that it taook to bring the action and the reason for bringing it. This Cottle person clearly doesn’t understand the role of the courts and fail in his responsibility to ensure that there is merit to a case. According to the wors complained of and the little that I understand, KPB has not shown how he was defamed, neither did this judge conduct himself properly in examining the material/facts before him.

    To DNO administration, It is instructive to see how you can have posted all over your news web page matters that has to do with LENOX LINTON, I would implore you to do the same for others in like wise situation, it does not mean because of the judgement is against Lenox, that the situation is not factual, Dominicans are now living with the fact that passports were sold and one group of persons profitted form that sale of our passports, the Layou river hotel and intended investments that were to materliase is still there for all of us to see, it is a known fact that i have witness that persons who actually commited crimes do escape within the legal system of our state, in conclusion if freedom fighters and those of us seeking the truth are expecting justice from the legal system rest assured it will never be so we the people must do whatever is necessary to fight and protect our freedoms, many men have died and a lot more of us will die for that worthy cause, ITS ONLY TIME WILL TELL. LONG LIVE LENOX, LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE

    Let us encourage the media houses including DNO to have sessions where we can sensitize people of the consequences of hatred.

    Hello everyone,

    Let us all be careful about what we say and how we say it. It’s not party against party, or village against city folks. It’s more serious than that. Let us all be a little more objective with our statements before taking sides based on party affiliation.

    I think Lennox is a great radio talking head, and program host, but at times he can be wreckless and quite bias with his statements and reports.

    Whether the story is about the ruling party or the opposition. There is something we call being impartial. I would like to see more of that across the board. Let’s educate the people and stop running our own agendas on radio. Radio is a powerful medium, and we out to use it for the greater good.

    Lennox , I don’t mean to get on you, but you are too close to party politics to be impartial and that makes you less effective as a ‘journalist’. A word we throw around too loosely in the Caribbean. Keep your opinions to yourself and report the facts to the people. Assume your role if indeed you are a journalist. You ought to be more objective in your reporting. A journalist is suppose to report only on the facts, not opinion.

    I just hope this ruling gives some of the talk show host on all sides cause for pause. Do your show, but present the facts. I think the people should be engaged and informed about what’s happening around them, but we need not eat and drink politics day in and day out.

    Good luck media personnels. The work continues, but I urge you to be responsible in your reporting. Let’s strike a balance! All the best.

      When you’re not licking Linton’s droppings you are busy acting like Obama is the second coming of Jesus.

      I go to university and I work and I still have time to keep myself informed and constantly OWN you on DNO.

      It must have been real hard for you to type that last comment between wiping your tears for Linton, maybe that will motivate to go find a job so you can help your hero to PAY UP!!!

It is time we take a page of what has happened in Japan. Today you arethere, tomorrow you might not be there. Let us make it right with each other because we do not know when we will depart from this earth and if we depart with such bitterness we will be accountable to the Creator.

The things that comes out their mouth to me is very inappropriate and disturbing. Yes we all have freedom of speech but it’s good to put yourself in someone’s shoe, how would u feel if the actions were reversed. The fine is not enough, but guess what all his followers and puppets like fountain, .. will be putting up the money to rescue him. They will show support bec they think that what he is doing is good and justified and they have a personal bone to pick with skerrit.

      The man is clearly possessed and taking this thing like real personal. It’s like you feel if he got the opportunity to physically assault the PM he would do it, that’s how much contempt and hatred I could hear dripping out of every word which left his mouth.

      How can any public figure be reported on fairly by a ‘journalist’ who clearly has a personal vendetta against you?

    To the so-called ‘lovers of democracy’ aka hypocrite UWPites.

    Freedom of expression doesn’t mean that you can just slander someone’s reputation because you think that they are aligned with your political enemies.

    Someone’s reputation is easily one of their most valuable possessions and none of you would appreciate being constantly slandered in the media, especially if you know that it is mainly politically-motivated.

    I refer to UWPites as hypocrites because based on what I have been observing on DNO, in the minds of UWPites, it is only the Skerrit-haters who should have the right to express their views.

    The moment someone comments in support of the gov’t, you are instantly labelled an ‘acolyte’, ‘singing for your supper,’ ‘collector of crumbs from the bread table,’ an ‘illiterate’ ‘Skerrit’s doormat’ and the list of insults hurled at any gov’t supporters goes on indefinitely.

    MOTS was even advocating kicking all Labourites out of D/a. If y’all attitudes isn’t discriminatory, dictatorial and hypocritical then I don’t know what is.

    hypocrite: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings (Merriam Webster dictionary)

    • John Brown
      March 24, 2011

      Yes they are indeed HYPOCRITES, They talk about Freedom of expression but just for them. The moment someone support the gov’t, you are instantly labelled, singing for your supper but everyone that supports the UWP is some how beyond reproach.

      They even claim that it’s a hand full of DLP supporters on DNO changing names to make it look like it’s a lot more. MOTS said once, the DLP had a secret room in a building in Roseau with people paid to comment on DNO. I tell you man, intolerance is the last defense of the insecure.

        This is where your lack of education becomes glaring. The main defense against a defamation suit is TRUTH. If you can prove that your statement was truthful, then it is not slander…

        So for you to say the facts have never been denied is nonsense, if Linton could prove these so-called ‘facts’ he wouldn’t have to be paying for his tongue now.

      I agree because if the informations are hidden we the publice would never get to know so therefore we need men like Mr.Linton who believe that DOMINICA is worth fighting for, I hope that he appeal the case because the system need to be shaken up because when judges cant do their jobs directly. Another point I would like to make why is it when individuals make statements others have to say is’t party politic people should be able to speakl freely it is time we stop saying that when people speak it’s the UWP / Freedom party / DLP try we stop blaming the parties.

    If he made untrue defamatory statements, then he deserves to be punished. A man’s character taes time to be built and to try to vindictively destroy it – IS WRONG! Worse off, to be proven to have made defamatory statements and not be apologetic – IS WORSE! Pride can make any man a fool!!!!!!!!

    If you are wrong APOLOGISE! If you are right STAND UR GROUND!

    Anyone who stands for nothing will fall for anything! Wrong needs to be given when due, just as right needs to stood up for!

    Well Well Well, Guess soon we will be seeing another add on DNO to give money to a paypal account to help him. When will he learn? Error of opinion will not be tolerated, reason and the courts will combat it.

    Linton has a listening audience because for every credibility gap he has, there is a gullibility fill. The man is so Arrogant and thinks he knows it all. He is a self-styled expert on every topic but i say beware of self-styled experts: an ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

    I believe that journalists and people in general need to be careful when they make statements about other people without proof. I trust that many will learn from this.

    I am listening to Lennox on q95 and i don’t trust him.I knew he had something oming.Beware journalists,A loose mouth will bring downfall.Now Matt said”there is rejoicing in some corners in Dominica”,but Mat,if it was the Labourites,Q95 and it’s band of troublemakers would be blowing trumpet.Not my money,My U.W.P bigwigs have let me down too many times.This is the straw that broke the camel’s back.From now on,i will believe nothing from Q95 and it’s band of troublemakers.

    No justice, no peace! No surprise here either, Judge Brian Cottle has just demonstrated how misguided the system is in Dominica. The Lennox Lynton’s haters will have ample time for their judgement day.

      There is always justice. We are so bias we do not know how to separate truth from fictions. This happened in 2002 and he had ample time to aplogize and let it go. He stood defiant and thought he was above the law. The stupid followers will submit to his papal account to pay the fine. The judge should have thrown the book at him to teach him and others an example. I hope others will take heed that they will pay for their foul mouth and false accusations without any merit of ttruth to their statement or statements..

    Ohh Lennox! I’ll surely help you to pay it for you have unearthed many truths about Skerrit. But dont expect anything from the poor GRANDBARIANS. They are in poverty and still voting for their leader.

    Cottle obviously is biased. Just don’t sing for your supper.

    Lennox that spells very bad for you my friend, this has destroyed your credibility in the society.

    This was done since 2002, Lennox had ample time to rectiy this situation.

    Well my fellow Dominicans, there is freedom of speech however there needs to be responsible speech. Some of us in this society, our tongues are too loose.

      I support your statement. We must held accountable for our actions. I do hope that those who makes accusations about others will think first before they make such statements. Everyone are to be held accountable for their actions.

        :lol: That is not rejoice. One is just expressing their opinion. It is no one fault but Lennox Linto’n’s own. Think before you accuse someone and the effects it will have on the person or persons. We in Donminca are to bias. Election is over move on. I have never seen people in a country that is hell bent on destroying someone’s reputation by any means possible. I do not listen to talk shows for I am my own person and can make may own decisions. Others take heed and more to go. :lol:

    I am so happy with the ruling. I will take it to mean that there are more to come. My people stop the loose mouth behavior that causes hate and emnity among us.“disturbing” tendency to make reckless statements without factual grounds.

    Hope some of us will stop. Well done Mr Pinard Byrne. JUstice was sort and it did come to past. It was not through demonstration outside of the court, but rather by a sitting judge.

        We are spreading too much hate like it is a badge of honour let us start to live like today is our last day on earth and as such let us learn to love and care for each other because it is better for our health. This level of hatred will take us closer to the grave.

      If you believe what you are stating, then I think that you had better start at the top if you want to address lying.

      • ok
        March 24, 2011

        Let us encourage the media houses including DNO to have forums where we can sensitize people of the consequences of hatred. Research that hatred and negativity allows our body chemitry to turn into prison meaning toxin and as a result we get different types of malady. Let us try to resolve problems in an amicably manner we are intelligent people.
