    Mr Eagle,you should explain what anti mean.Most of those people are monkey see,monkey do.I agree q95 is the dumbest radio station on this planet.So dumb that the media whore is telling the world,Dominica has 4 branches of government,one is broadcasting.DNO is way ahead of q95.Q95 is100% bias in favour of the people who oppose,DNO is 60% bias in favour of the people who oppose Skerrit.

    He was almost fired last year for comments he made about ex-South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. He was warned about his comments about women and people in general. He can not say he was never warned. He has a big head.

      He didnt lie. He said she was past her prime as a woman. And the women on the panel lost their minds. Everyone has a prime time in their lives. for women it comes earlier. and thats a sad fact. thats why they say women get old and men get better. thats why older women may not provide as much value to a man as a younger one. non the less them liberal feminists wasnt trying to hear that.

    Good thing, he needs to be an entrepreneur. Join Black Media. Hopefully he doesn’t get red-lined when seeking finance to do so, it’s a race country.

    He began to see through their anti-Black propaganda and tried to be truthful about African History and other facts that pertain to Black history with a few guests. They need more of a coon in that position and probably assigned a Black employee to give him the news(no pun intended). That’s how they roll.

      Mr spread more lies about black history than a lot of people. He is a racist and hid behind his black colour to say what he wanted and lead the black community further down the web of lies we have been told. Good riddance get him gone

    One can never be to snug, too secured, in any job or position. For those of you who are in so deep in your positions, kissing boss’ behinds, always in front, trashing others—take heed. That said, good riddance to bad rubbish. Don was full of it!

    No surprise here as the handwriting was on the wall after Lemon was unceremoniously bumped from his prime time night spot a few months ago after rubbing CNN Execs the wrong way.

    He was ultimately canned by the floundering network after failing to toe the company line while exiled on the day shift. Don’t be surprised if joins his old CNN buddy Chris Cuomo at the up and coming OAN network.

      Chris Cuomo is at News Nation…..a far cry from OAN.

    They been trying to fire your buddy. Even your you are gay you speak about against the trans agenda and in some cases speak up for masculinity. They dont like that.

    Should Don Lemon come to work with his team in Dominica, then DNO would be no more. DNO has never interviewed skeritt and put hard questions to him regarding his dictatorship management of sheep. That’s what skeritt has; sheep. Don Lemon could stand his ground.

      April 24, 2023

      Stand ground to who? He stood up in front of Joe Biden while the man was in a position like he was crapping his pants and Dona Limon just stood there with a dumb look on his face asking him the questions they had already prepared. These guys are all jokes.

      Invitation is open for all politicians on Tucker Carlson’s show. For all how people dislike Fox News that guy is unmatched and everybody who is not honest with what they are doing is afraid of him

      • Tucker Who?
        April 27, 2023

        Ticket Carlson a white supremacist mouthpiece cost Fox the white supremacy media over $700 million recently, for blatant racism and lies. Fox fired the idiot.

        They must pay for their racism, and it’s costing them big, even though you all keep filling their money bucket in abuse of go- fund-me.

      I got an alternative to your nonsensical imagination where Don Lemon should come to work, why not Q95, lol.

      @ Certain, Are you that stupid how on earth could you have the nerve to say Mr. Skerrit, ” regarding his dictatorship
      Management of sheep” if you want to understand the meaning of dictator ask real Dominicans what Edison James, in four years of disgusting leadership what he did to Dominica, people like you are just monkey hear monkey say without understanding, by the way Pm.Skerrit, is the best thing that ever happened in Dominica, like him or not tough s**t to all the haters.

    It is sad the manner in which Don Lemon reported how he was dismissed. This world is a post empathetic world.

    Lesson to be learnt from.this firing. No position, in fact, nothing position is permanent. Watch how you treat others. Be kind to many, courteous to all. One day those of you in powerful positions, it is only temporary.

      That is a good lesson for you as well, IBO. Treat people in positions and above you with respect and dignity. Be courteous and respectful to others and good will come your way. You keep hating on the PM, then, you will continue to get frustrated and disappointed in yourself. Think positive and do not be envious of the PM.

        Well said ds, I was about to say just that, I could not believe it was Ibo, who wrote this he/she wants to take a good look at his/her self in the mirror, maybe he could turn out to be a freak who knows what you might come across these days.

    This guy is a serious loser. Woke. Nonsense trashed cnn ratings over his term. Amazing that any company, which by definition exists to make a profit, would have allowed this loser to stay so long. About time. Bud light for him.

      I wonder if you actually know the true meaning of being WOKE? You seem to be one one of those FOX NEWS brainwashed anti-woke clueless oppressed American resident who haven’t realised that being anti-woke means being in favour of racism, misogyny, anti-LGBTQ, pro gun, anti-abortion, pro- right wing white religious bigotry, white supremacy and a host of of other oppressive beliefs practiced by mainly people in privileged positions. People just like jumping on the band wagon parroting those who wish to continue living their privileged lives by ensuring others are kept down. I suggest you look up the true meaning of wokeness before you profess to be anti-woke.

      Why, just because he is a proponent of gay rights that got blended with Civil rights?
