Now that Butch has endorsed the JLP-His Newsletter should 2

[Don1]

In the interest of openness and responsibility.... Juss declare dat pro-JLP position an tap di unworthy & unprofessional subterfuge

Ownership of 50% of the daily print industry is too nationally important to be toyed with...as in trying to manipulate public opinion...like Nicodemus by Night

And for all those ready to jump in about Stewart's "rights" as the owner... realize that this is NOT about rights, that's not in dispute...it's about media responsibility to the public and the profession.

If media organs wish to hold politician's feet to the fire about accountability, responsibility, transparency and to disavow manipulation of the public for private gain... media should be held to the same or even higher standards...or

...be regarded as rank hypocrites...and their unthinking followers...as foolish lemmings

When did he 'endorse the JLP'? BTW was it the Government or the JLP? There's a subtle difference.

no man he endorsed Andrew.......it was big head line on NATIONWIDE the other day...............cant remember the details but he did

[Assasin]

even if he endorse Holness, is it an endorsement for the whole political party????? Does that mean the newspaper should endorse a political party????

And can you, Don1 or my esteem journalist friend provide the info?

[Skeng DX]

but logic tells you that ...if someone endorses the Prime Minister(Andrew)......implicit in that..............he must support the whole party.......becuz you cant be Prime Minister if the party fails to get a majority at the polls.........YOU SEE THE LOGIC

[Assasin]

So you can't support the Prime Minister without supporting the party then???

[Willi]

When yuh gonna endorse PNP?

MDYADWL

[Skeng DX]

we have a westminster system...............not a presidential system


if that political party loose........the one you support as prime minister cant be prime minister...............GET IT

[Skeng DX]

when them promise me a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR contract

[Assasin]

yes we do, but my question still stands.

Well in that case the Gleaner, RJR, Nationwide all need to endorse their party as I am sure their Managers vote as well. Are we that tribal???

I await Butch endorsing the JLP. Thanks in advance. Don't say he didn't, would just appreciate the info.

[Willi]

Get one fi mi too nuh? LoL

Make mine Canadian dallaz though....

WAH U A TALK BOUT!


ok....how u support a man as Prime minister and not the party for a westminster system (EXPLAIN)



also your point about the other media houses doing the same don't follow.............he(BUTCH) came out publicly and basically seh ANDREW SHOULD be prime minister......ASAP .......the others didnt

[Assasin]

The fact is other media heads endorse leaders from time to time, it doesn't mean they endorse the party.

Andrew Holness father say he is a PNP and will vote for his son. Is voting for his son means he endorses the JLP? Voting for one in my opinion or endorsing one doesn't mean you endorse a PARTY in any model in my view.

Again you and Don1 can twist the news on headlines but it would be worth it if you can put it up so we can judge for ourselves what Butch really said.
