Many have been asking what is it Pat Hoyos said on last Sunday’s Brasstacks which caused Minister Denis Kellman to exact an immediate apology. Here is what BU can confirm.

Last Sunday during the airing of the Brass tacks programme, listeners heard Pat Hoyos [moderator] make an apology to Minister Denis Kellman and many wondered what it was that Mr Hoyos had said that caused him to make the apology. It has now been found out. During a break, and unknown to Hoyos and the others appearing on the programme, one of whom was Mr Clyde Mascoll [Barbados Labour Party chief spokesman on economic matters], that the line was still open to Mr Kellman, Hoyos remarked in relation to the Minister Kellman “I give he five minutes and he talking bare shite “. Kellman insisted on an immediate apology before continuing his contribution. The apology immediately came from Hoyos.

Certainly VOB cannot allow this man Hoyos to continue to disrespect persons who do not share his views .

What is his agenda ?

    Tell me Why

    BU is on the side of letting the public judge for itself.

    OK David. I agree that should be the case, but why move away from the issue at hand to deal with another issue. Maybe, you are also bordering on the hypocritical act. Anyway, he was man enough to apologise and I commend his action. What about the refusal of the governing party to have someone to deal with our pressing issues.

    @Tell me Why

    The juxtaposing of the issues is to expose an inconsistency on Hoyos’ part.

    The readers can make a judgement for themselves.

    Hoyos is not the only moderator who has drawn criticism from BU.

    We the people have to begin to make others who occupy certain offices accountable.

    The yardstick for doing so must not be shaped by political affiliation.

    Davis Ellis made a statement yesterday which BU disagrees.

    If the DLP does not send a representative the station has a responsibility to grab an ‘independent’ voice to offer comment instead of what transpired on Sunday.

    There is the listener who VoB still has to recognize and treat with respect.

    The public will make its value judgement if the government continues to avoid the challenge of a debate with Mascoll.

    Mr. Pat Hoyos is no worse then Mr. Tony Marshall was in the area of pretending to be informed and his slip is showing no more than Mr. Peter Wickham slip has been showing. The truth is that most of these moderators have political allegiances and there is nothing wrong with that, but to try to show that they are independent is laughable.

    Truth be told, Mr. Kellman does NOT talk shit, his contributions are worse than that, I wonder if ANYONE even takes the man serious. In other words, if he were not a politician, I would seriously consider him a possible clown in the circus or a really bad comedian,

    We surely are no longer in the 19th Century and that is why if, as you posit, the electorate is more mature and knowledgeable they should know how to separate the optics from the substantive within politics.
    Being a ‘mature’ and ‘knowledgeable’ electorate also includes recognising a person’s right to praise or criticise any political party or politician in a civil manner.

    Pat Hoyos behaviour cannot and should not be defended on this incident.No matter your partisan persuasion,he has displayed the worst standard of behaviour expected from a “moderator”.

    You cannot have a discussion with representatives of the two political parties and be openly deriding one party’s representative in the presence of the other while you think he is not listening. That is not the role of the “moderator”. Hoyos was caught with his hand in the political cookie jar.
    Hoyos obviously found it difficult to take off the political hit man’s uniform which he wears especially on Sundays and therefore as soon as he thought noone was looking, rushed to put it back on.
    If VOB could part with more popular radio personalities like Lil Rick and Patrick Gollop , surely VOB can send Pat Hoyos packing.
    The station has nothing to lose. He is a lightweight.

    Those who missed the program can catch the edited version here:

    Part 1

    Part 2

    It is very evident that Hoyos failed in his role as a moderator.

    There is a point in the show where it s obvious the issue of Tony Marshall was discussed off-mike and he leads Mascoll in questions on the matter. It is when Mascoll refers to the fact Tony Marshall may have been a casualty of standing up to the government over the Four Seasons investment. Now Hoyos can do what he likes but the public has a right to know his modus operandi.

    On another matter Tony Marshall was big on saying ‘let the public know’. Why is it he was sacked as Chairman and he remains silent?

    I agree with you its about being accountable! To the station and sponsors and listeners. Many of these talk show hosts and stations and newspapers need to check and rethink what they do because i think they have long lost they way in terms of who they are targeting.It seems to believe that they are now persuaded that this is”my show”and I dont have to consider the target market cause they have to “tek”what we give them. Some moderators seek even to
    çut’you if you are not saying what agrees with them! Forgetting that we the audience can change the dial nor not purchase papers.
    I wish they would really stop fooling themselves into believing that because
    they are the “dominant”ones they have the audience with the biased tripe they are serving up dai ly. Why do you think there is so much potential for online media? I’ll tellyou its because the others have failed miserably in presenting the”facts”for the learnt public to judge for themselves.

    Applying those words in context to this scenario would be counterproductive.Either Mr. Hoyos has a right to say what he likes in a civil manner about Mr. Kellman OR that you like Mr Hoyos needs to be reminded that there is a time and place for everything and that was NOT the time nor the place[airwaves] for the statement to be uttered even if all BIM feels that way. Some things are just NOT KOSHER! This is a clear matter not one for you nor others to muddy with political leanings ! We all have to or ought to vote for a party and WE DONT NEED THIS constant tearing down of personalities by anybody to gain oneupmanship.RESPECT that we have all benefitted from free education for the most part and can decipher RIGHT from WRONG without any political massaging!!

    All of the moderators on radio does talk shite … dey all full of it. But then again there are a great number of similarities between media houses and political parties, after all they both model perceptions to attract numbers (followings) so as to attract backers (advertisers) with money. So they ALL talk shite. A media personality saying that a political personality talks shite is the pot calling the kettle black. I want them ALL to apologize to me for having been born.

    Please provide evidence of Maxine McClean and Tony Marshall writing weekly articles in the Sunday Sun newspaper or the Nation’s Business Authority in Barbados consistently criticising the government and specific ministers….. I am waiting.
    (PS)Date and time.
    Pat Hoyos’ every article has been critical of the government. He never finds time to say anything negative about the opposition, maybe it is coincidence but do not insult the intelligence of the bloggers.
    Pat Hoyos is blatantly partisan and we should not pretend that it is otherwise- The evidence is clear just read last Sunday’s Nation if you need a reminder…and the Sunday before that…and the Sunday before that…… Hoyos should take his rightful place on the BLP campaign trail with his brother and his brother’s companion who is a BLP candidate.
    He has been clearly exposed and is not fit to “moderate”. Send him packing and give him more time to canvass.

    I remain amused by this to-ing and fro-ing on simple issues. The Dems cannot take their licks and would do every thing to shut down evalution, comment, criticism or anything which they think will sink them. Lets assure them no one now needs to be canvassed . The people are ready and many people are canvassing the politican to come quickly and ransomed captive Barbados . Hoyos was saying the right thing in the wrong place but it is a sentiment with which many Dems agree and the rest of Barbados knows, Kellman does talk bare shite. You dont have to be an Einstein to conclude that. He is an ignorant pretender to skill and he has no respect for his fellow cabinet ministers as he talks about things in other portfolios where he has no brief. He loves the sound of his own voice. Think on these things

    Here was a direct quote from the “moderator” Pat Hoyos on Sunday Brass Tacks on March 25, 2012

    “this (Pat Hoyos) column shows that Mr. Sinckler’s policies have not worked and have put more nails in the Barbados economy”.

    If a man starts from that position, how the hell could someone at Starcom pick up the phone and ask kim to sit as an “independent moderator” on a discussion on economic policy?
    What was Stetson Babb thinking?
    That was like asking Owen Arthur or Dale Marshall to moderate the programme.
    What a sham and a shame!Starcom now has egg all over their face compliments Pat Hoyos.

    “Pat Hoyos’ every article has been critical of the government. He never finds time to say anything negative about the opposition, maybe it is coincidence but do not insult the intelligence of the bloggers”.

    Why is this government above criticism? You are really unbelievable! Where were you in 2006, 2007 and in 2008 just before the general election when the whole media were VERY, VERY critical of the then government.

    Even the same Pat Hoyos you all want to pull down was critical of the then government. If this government was performing, there would not be much to criticise, a second term would be a sure thing but you all have performed so poorly that you are now and clutching at straws.

    The fact remains, Kellman talks nonsense 99% of the time and he was clearly out of his depth as usual on Sunday. Pat Hoyos apologised, get over it!

    Pringles; I believe this matter is a trivial one possibly designed to get at Pat Hoyos. I suspect that in radio studios when the mike is off people say all sorts of things that they and the stations would be very embarrassed by, or even be sued for, if what is said in such unguarded moments became public……………………..

    Checkitout…..
    One day during the height of the “Bajans only prescription” debate, a BLP contributor called into Brasstacks while the now famous DLP moderator Maureen Holder was in the chair. She claimed she was not political when she became moderator or so David Ellis said.

    During the break for the 12.30 news, a similar thing happened. She did not know that the mic was still open and the contributor overheard her saying….. he call in here talking nonsense, get the PM’s PA on the line to rebut what he is saying. The next caller on the line after the break was Mrs King. She was clearly out of her depth talking about the denial of drugs to non Barbadians and was talking what she did not know and made herself like like an idiot!

    The BLP caller did not ask for Maureen to be removed. That’s the difference between the parties, it is called being mature and not petty!

    The Prime Minister by his style of Management is contributing to a rise in stress level among the population of the country.

    The rise in stress is therefore manifesting in the negative things being seen in the society.

    Many people in positions of authority seem unable of understanding that what they say, what they do and how they act have on the populace.

    You might not want to see or accept the fact that you are a role model but Mr/Ms. Public Figure whether you want to accept it or not, people in public life have an effect on many members of the populace.Many members of the population monitor what you do. If you demonstrate dishonesty and dont care attitude, what many conclude is that if you can do it , they can do it too.
    “wuh he more important than me and it happening to he or he doing so and so, wuh i can do um too, who is me ?”

    The Prime Minister in this country is an influentilal public figure who needs to demonstrate a positive leadership persona. If the Prime Minster demonstrates weakness, laziness and stubborn stupid behaviour , he affects the collective psyche of the masses. People react and some people react violently in these circumstances because they feel frustrated by the impression of the personna of an inept Prime Minister. The result therefore is negative behaviour.

    Impoverished countries especially, need strong leadership personalities. If a leader says he is going to do something , he should do it. if you are going to do something , do it without it hestitation or deviation.

    Leadership in the type of system we have is much more delicate, influential , decisive and sensitive than in most other systems. The image of the leader must be one of inspiration, stimulation or some form of excitement. It should not be an image of sour , indecisive arrogant behaviour that is not all inspirational. The leader needs to get out there and inspire and motivate the people or else the depressed attitude portrayed by negative leadership is going to manifest in negative behaviour among the populace.

    The leader can do this by the simple act of making small promises that he keeps and execute in a proper time. There is nothing more depressing and frustrating than waiting for anything or anyone : an answer, a bus, a man, a woman, the car in front of you, the PSV blocking the road, waiting in line to pay bills or do any sort of business etc. Note how angry people react in these circumstances, these simple everyday circumstances and tell me if I am wrong !

    Something needs to be done about this situation.

    Starcom’s stated policy is that people who are declared candidates for election or nomination in a political party will not moderate call in programmes.
    But you do not have to be a candidate to be a political operative – you can write columns,donate,assit in dessimination of information through your media house, etc.
    Every column, utterance and public statement of Pat Hoyos leads in one political direction.
    The latest salvo was simply his latest display of a lack of balance and fairness.
    He was in the studio not only cussing the DLP with the BLP representative but then openly laughing. He is sorry that he was caught and exposed but Hoyos cannot hide his true feelings. By all standards of fairness, Hoyos must go!

    Why did the Dems not send a representative? Why are they running and hiding and ducking from public discourse?

    Each time VOB asks them to send a representative to debate financial matters, they do not show up. Why could not Mr Physical Deficit come in or Darcy Boyce, though we know he would not, VOB’s call in programme would be beneath him.

    A few weeks ago I hear a hard core DLP supporter who is always critical of VOB’s Monday morning choice of a lead story criticising David Ellis for allowing the voice of Owen Arthur to be carried as the lead story when the DLP had a meeting in St Michael West and the PM spoke at the meeting and they did not carry the PM’s voice. Only to find out that VOB was informed of the BLP’s meeting a week in advance whilst the Dems only informed VOB the same day and due to a shortage of staff, VOB could not find a reporter to cover the meeting. Does this seem like a party in charge of its own destiny?

    No wonder it needs the likes of the “nation critic” to go out there to see if he/she can silence anyone who dares to criticise the DLP. Where were you when the same Pat Hoyos for the first three years of this DLP regime was saying that we have to give them a chance and in my humble opinion, he stiffled any criticism of the government.

    How dare you Pat Hoyos? You cannot cricitise the “anointed party’! Ha, ha, ha.

    Perhaps mr CCC, the samethings that the DLP promised Ms Mclean, and Messrs Husbands and Marshall.you DLP apologists seem to think that you all have a monopoly on cussing people and demonising their characters and when the shoe is on the other foot moan and groan. Where was the confidentiality when MR arthur’s personal cheque was paraded of a screen for the world to see in breach of the confidentialy that ought to have existed between Mr Arthur and the bank yet there was not a whimper about confidentiality because fodder accompanying the exposition of the cheque served its purpose in calling Mr Arthur’s integrity or lack thereof into qestion. Now that the CLICO report is hovering like a damocles sword over the possibility of the DLP”s chances of winning another term and mr Thompson’s involvement in the 3.3 million cheque and its disposal , there are crocodile cries of breaches of confidentiality with respect to the presence of the report in the public domain. mr ccc, may i remind you that 75000. from 3.3 million leaves 0.

Come up higher and lets debate!
    So tell me again where does criticism of the government and other moderators factor into the subject before us?Of course Mr. Hoyos is entitled to his opinion and of course he is encouraged to express it in some very priveledged spaces of our media but “Prodigal Son”
    cant you et al recognize there is a time and place for everything and accept that the statement was just WRONG!! What apology what?

    David brought the offending comments into the public domain as a news story even though BU and all of you criticise the Nation for similar type stories adding that they rush to judgement and to print. Case in point, the JM report.

    Why continue this useless back and forward bickering. Mr Hoyos apologised, move on.

    I will not take you on on this subject anymore. This gaff on Mr Hoyos will not save the DLP from defeat in a couple of months. Get over it!

    Yes you are correct BU brought the matter into the public domain, unlike the JM Report this matter is not under the direction of a court order.

    The important point which seems to be going amiss in the political carping is the lack of professionalism which Hoyos exercised last Sunday as moderator. There is a consequence to injudicious actions. This is not a personal matter, in fact Hoyos is one of the more intelligent journalist about, in the financial area particularly.
