Vaz Assault sparks Media Fears of Political Intimidation

[Rudi]

Baddaz, I am putting aside my politics and I concede to you that MPs should normally be aware of how the media work. However, I can tell you from my experience that the press has used some really dirty tactics against me, here in the US, and I knew better. But on occasion, I felt totally exasperated, responded as such, and it was in front of tv cameras and then on the evening news.

Whether for political point making or for ratings, many in the media cross the line and push buttons or infuriate folks on purpose. Then they will appear, all smiles, near you at functions and pretend as though nothing happened. It is difficult to resist approaching them to argue with them about their tactics. Being human we can lose it.

I am sure I have had much better training than Vaz, during my career, re dealing with the media. Yet, I sometimes lose it with them.

Regarding Vaz' case, I don't know whether he is right about the facts. But I am arguing that in the event he is right about the facts, I would not rule out the possibility that he could be so infuriated that his human side instead of his intellect caused his outburst.

A lot of people have said a lot of things about him. How come is this woman him have strength fi go point up in her face and tell her badword. Duppy no who fi frighten. I wonder if she went to immaculate .
