Shelly tell Babylon Media fi guhwhey

[Historian]

Welcome Back!

It is more like the "dogs have gone into journalism". Have you ever listened to the BBC news?. It is the worst piece of crap you will hear on a daily basis. Sad to say that many Jamaicans buy into it.

Great seeing you back on the forum, Reggaedoc! I had actually started to wonder what had happened to you!

I agree with your “the dogs have gone into journalism” statement. So true! In the case of the BBC, I have not listened to or watched that channel in ages, but I don’t doubt what you said about them.

I suspect that many Jamaicans still revere the BBC because of tradition. The BBC has been broadcasting to Jamaica even before we had local television, while a channel like CNN is a product of the 1980s.

Again, great seeing you back on the forum.

[Reggaedoc]

Athletes need to do this more often! Quite clearly this reporter was intent on circumventing the already established press conference guideline. Talk about having a deliberate and desperate agenda!

I’m tempted to say that journalism has gone to the dogs, but it in fact was ALWAYS sleeping with the dogs, from even way back in the late nineteenth century with its yellow journalism! Publishers William Hearst (the New York Journal) and Joseph Pulitzer (the New York World), the masters of yellow journalism, certainly set the standard for much of the nonsense we see in today’s media.

Fourth Estate my foot!

People did. Yuh fi read the track forum.

As well, Franno gave an interview on TVJ sport about it BEFORE the current brouhaha. He said it was way excessive and out of proportion to what other farrin athletes go for the same substance. She will win the appeal.

But dem outright lie now. Asafa under investigation...yet still he is back in Jamaica

Asafa room raided....lie him hand over 2 bokkles

Asafa found with 50 bottles of supplements and is too much for one man...lie

Sarry...wrong brand

[Sir X]

Exactly , suh wi affi feel it .

[Mosiah]

But I don't hear people coming to her defence! She was not one of our darlings so under the bus she goes!

Now for the rest of them, how dare the media ask questions!

[Sir X]

What they did with the Blake girl was embarrasing,disgusting and ridiculous , is like a uncle tom reaction fi show di master , we ave fi im house in order .....a bloody sex aid (stimulant) , a placebo affect probably.

A suh wi frighten ?

[Willi]

Dyam strait!

[Gamma]

and who are we? Who are they? We must be the only country so quick to fling our own under a bus! Canada loved Ben Johnson until, then he was Jamaican born .... Where was Dominique Blake born? Do you see us making an issue of that?

Unapologetically Jamaican, first and foremost! If at the end they are cheats, disappointed and will cuss them but not to placate anyone else! We deal with it "inhouse"

[Willi]

Why not. VC busted with a medication she declared. AP and SS for a OTC stimulant as were the Blake 5 and back then the stimulant was not even on the list. Dom. Blake was also stimulant.

Except for the 2 throwers and HJumper, I cant tell when last we had androgen class bust (Except for Mullings). This lump all together thing is just plain WRONG.

For the amount ah medal we win, these numbers are NOT significant.

[Mosiah]

Perhaps, but wi not looking like this nation of natural athletes who have grown up on yam and dasheen.

We are very critical of others when they are caught but wi have a bag of excuses when we are. Some have been calling for life bans after the first positive test. Wonder what they are saying now? Huh, Juliet Cuthbert?

And now wi walking out on journalists. How dare they question us about it. Dem not even know what dasheen look like!

Bright!

[Gamma]

The alternative would have been a worse move

[Willi]

Why, so they can just make up more lies, no matter what the facts are?

[Sir X]

Babylon media frighten yuh ? so much so yuh ave mad journalist down deh a sell babylon line,yuh wouldda think Jamaica a steriod factory !

Boss if wi nuh know yet wi affi feel.

[Mosiah]

Bad move! Very bad move!
