Another large settlement is staring FOX in the face. Don Lemon;s situation maybe a horse of a different colour.
It is a discussion blog, discuss.
President Biden has announced he will run in 2024. A man who can hardly walk possibly to contest another of equal ‘fitness’.
Birds of a Feather flock together whatever the weather
Governments and media work together hand in hand
China accused UK and it’s allies of neocolonialism
the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former dependencies.
Dominion Vs Fox was a lawsuit about Defamation who allowed debunked election-fraud claims about the voting-technology firm to air on Fox
Setting the Bar Higher
Surely,.. there should be a US Government Vs Fox case pending forthwith now evidential legal filings were released and settlement was achieved, shouldn’t there?
Shades of Truth and Accountability Vs Trump
Trump can still claim that Election was stolen if not proven

On the media.
Ralph Jemmott has an article in BT titled “Fair Comment – BT and Brass Tacks”. Unlike the Commander I am not a regular listener to Brass Tacks, but the few times I did so I felt that the host was just too lenient with most callers.
There was a time when I listened to Talk Radio and enjoyed the way that some hosts handled callers. Phrases such as “Get of my line you jerk” were attention grabbers. Callers knew that they would get as good as they gave. Sad to say that thought there was a comedy in some of these put-down of the audience, these host tended to be racist.
I believe that Mr Ellis has the knowledge and ability to respond without being racist. Even more so, his race and that of the audience makes it both silly and difficult for him to travel this rail.
Listening to Brass Tacks and hear callers go on and on, some unable to make a single point within the time allotted to them, some being hostile, and some thinking they are street lawyers bores me to death.
I know Barbadians would like to believe that they are a gentle people and that Mr Ellis might felt himself bound to some code of conduct (non-existent), but I would like to see him get some fire in his belly and throw some real licks in some callers. Mr Ellis idea of a fight would be to throw a pie at someone and then apologize even the pie missed. Mr Ellis, forget turn the other cheek and fight fire with real fire.
I know, if he wants to keep his job, he must accept this “audience abuse”.
Jesus.. why do I see the bad English and typos after posting? Why cannot I get it right on the first try?
(The best I can do)
Sad to say that though
might feel himself
even if the pie miss
Neither Fox nor Tucker Carlson has said why they parted ways so all that is left to people on the outside to do is to guess.
One could opine that since Tucker Carlson routinely takes tough principled positions, he may have taken one in relation to the suit.
He may have given the Murdochs an ultimatum … fight, do not settle or I am gone.
Nobody believes Joe Biden got 81 million votes!!
The Murdochs made a financial decision, those are usually taken cold bloodedly.
Tucker Carlson comes across as being hot blooded and a strong believer in his principles, that is why he is so popular in a business that is utterly corrupt and untrue.
Don Lemon just got the boot for non performance.
“Nobody believes Joe Biden got 81 million votes”
What do you know?
We know..
Trump cheats and lies
USA influences elections abroad
Trump and USA will never accept defeat
All you have to do is prove “Secret Government” gave Biden Victory
Put up or shut up..
You John for a scientist uses irrational reasoning. You maybe able to explain why Tucker Carlson had to leave FOX without a farewell show using same reasoning.Bear in mind he was their top tier anchor.
Vintage Dub Series
Media Hype is Billing 2024 as Biden Vs Trump already
although I prefer Williamson
over 2 alleged cheats any day
I gave up on Bernie when he disagreed with Reparations in 2016
WHY exactly must Tucker Carlson have to have a farewell show to leave FOX?
Is this not the way folk operate in the USA in all spheres at all levels?
Did Lemon get a farewell show? He was on CNN for 17 years.
For years there has been nothing about US politics on BU, so HOW IS THE FIRING OF CARSON & OR LEMON SO NEWS WORTHY WHEN COMPARED TO THE DIABOLICAL DEEDS OF Rex PLAYING THAT HE IS INDEED A REX AND NOT A PURE MONGREL Rex?
Sh*t to Watch
Watch the Boys
In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, THE BOYS centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as “The Boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than their blue collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
Meet the Boys
Billy Butcher
A former C.I.A. operative turned vigilante, Billy Butcher is as charming as he is cunning. He’s a force of nature, who can talk almost anyone into anything, either through a smile or brute force – or sometimes both. He’s consumed by one mission in life: to destroy superheroes. But this personal vendetta is driven by his hatred for one Supe in particular: Homelander. Butcher’s determined to get revenge on Homelander, no matter the cost. And he won’t let anyone or anything stand in his way.
Meet the Seven
Homelander
With the face of a movie star and the superpowers of a god, Homelander is the greatest superhero alive, and the leader of The Seven. Not only can he fly, he’s got superstrength and superhearing, and he can see through almost anything with his x-ray vision and then destroy it with his laser eyes. On the surface, he’s affable, modest, and sincere; the ultimate Boy Scout, an all-American, God-fearing patriot. But just like mere mortals, even superheroes have secrets.
Someone has a timeline opinion.
“US Dollar Has Five Years Left As Dominant Currency — Russian Tycoon
According to Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, the US dollar has only five years left as the principal currency for the global economy.
Seven years ago, the absolute dominance of the greenback in global settlements and financial transactions seemed unshakable, the founder of aluminum giant Rusal wrote in a Telegram post on Saturday.
Deripaska expects global settlements to diversify and digital currencies to become more “compatible.” “That will be hard at the beginning, but then the world will discover a new reality without a [need for] a hegemon,” he said.”

“One could opine that since Tucker Carlson routinely takes tough principled positions, he may have taken one in relation to the suit.”
I will sent a letter a recommendation to Faux and ask that you be the replacement to TC. My bottom line
“He is better than Rumpelstiltskin, rabbit spins shiit until it looks sweet”
@David, I hope that prior to my ‘last call’ that I will be able to submit a decent piece(s) (again) to the blog …😎
And on this matter hopefully we can get dig into how these influencers are affecting society and other relevant debate as all these matters also affect Bdos. Obviously it is not simply about some big name opinion talker in far, far away US because as we CLEARLY see these influencers also strongly infect the views of locals !!!
And of course it should be doubly clear that we are deeply intertwined with US (or UK and other places) as evidenced by the Donville Inniss prosecution … in short when sensible people try to dissuade discussions on apparently US/Canadian-centric issues we should look at them carefully to better understand what is the real agenda! — Just saying 😊🤦
Incidentally, it must be crystally clear by now that some bloggers here (no name no abuse) are simply marionettes for their ideology and have absolutely no interest in HONEST discourse.
Anyhow later.
In that letter, please give a sentence or two on the principled stand your school mate takes on key issues and highlight that many are comparable to the VERY principled positions Carlson took in cursing Trump as a liar and fraud in private and then so VERY principled went on-air and supported every one of the lies and fraudulent acts.
That took true grit, integrity and honor … to the Fox stock price and his 401 investments, of course!
May your letter have success!

I have never watched Don Lemon or Tucker Carlson

Arise and I shine
And I give Jah the glory
Arise and I shine
And I wanna tell Jah story
Said I open my window
Let the sun shine in
And now I give thanks and praises
It’s a new morning
Jah, beg you guide I
Jah, beg you keep I
Going out, going out and coming in
To Jah, be pure and clean
And my thoughts be upful and true
I and I be prosperous
In the works I and I do
Who really cares?
Both were overpaid employees caught up in their own self importance. Theirs is a revolving chair just like the politicians they talk about. If you are red you watch Fox, if you are blue you watch CNN and others. And repeat what they say because they support your view. Like Chris Cuomo they will be forgotten until their $100+million defamation suit is heard. Note both TC and DL have the Same lawyer.

@Dee Word
Whether Don Lemon, Tucker Carlson the question for you is – are these talking head’s influencers or do they reflect the polarized country the USA and other countries have become.
@David, absolutely BOTH.
My readings (limited tho they be) of leadership and leaders affirms that Mussolini, Allende, Barrow or even Churchill were products of their society and its ruptures even as they harnessed their superior ambition and abilities to direct the ideas of and for their fellow citizens.
The real focus of your query surely is whether these influencers are creating brand new constructs artfully moulded with their follwers angst that take their followers along a dark and dangerous path to civil strife!
That I leave to rational minds to decipher … but limited knowledge or otherwise history is filled with examples of that … not a lot different here today!
Lata.
“are these talking head’s influencers or do they reflect the polarized country the USA and other countries have become.”
They are actors playing to the crowd.
Should America become more liberal or more racist / extremist?
They are just two sides of the same coin.
They are both liberal and racist / extremists from California to Florida and in between
There is no good and bad as it is all the same part one whole.

Yesterday you pulled a Obama killed Osama Danny Red reggae song on Conscious Sounds label released in 2001 after President Obama addressed the Nation to announce that the United States has killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda..
That’s your prerogative Massa
If something is the prerogative of a particular person or group, it is a privilege or a power that only they have. A prerogative is someone’s special right or privilege. As Bobby Brown once sang, “I don’t need permission / Make my own decisions / That’s my prerogative.”.
Here is the WWE News Channel version and crowd reaction.
Correction
Obama killed Osama was released in May 2011
was Osama really Obama in disguise wearing a Turban and a Fake Long Beard

South Afrika is pulling out from the ICC….things are moving.
When they kick out all those vile criminal racists and apartheid practitioners, then they will be seen as doing something serious and worthwhile to remove this evil from the continent and Afrikan lives..
Go look at the listenership to Conservative Talk Radio and compare it to the viewership of the various news networks.
Tucker Carlson did not have the effect the left believes he had.
Their major concern should be and is conservative talk radio.
People just listen on the car radio when they are driving to or from lunch or commuting.
Don Lemon was a complete joke who few watched.
I may admit it (reluctantly), because I know we can be do much better.

YOU DONT BELONG ON BU MAN

An interesting perspective on the subject.
NOTHING RELATING TO THE TOPIC AS USUAL.
We imagine, because reading or listening to any Western propaganda media, of any stripe, is useless.
For these two boys are mere mouthpieces, even as their ratings plummet. Take a lesson from Musk and fire them all!
But that a Biden. A man who is clearly not there at all, mentally. And Kamala Harris, an affirmative action hire. But a woman clearly out of her depth. A failure at every assignment given, could pretend to be even the empty suites, the faces of empire, required a marvelously ignorance about the real distribution of power in the USA.
It exposes the nonsense seen as democratic elections. And more!
That a proven idiot, Trump, though unfairly set upon last time in a series of disinformation projects, could presume to be president again, even given a spectacular level of clear failures last time, locates this epoch as being more dangerous than the mad men ruling the first Rome around its collapse.
The plot thickens. That another Kennedy presents his head for the decapitation of the American military industrial complex, including the CIA, in a quest for that which was denied two family members, transports us to a place hithertofore unknown.
These singly or together speak to a madness within the system itself. A desperate plea to be relieved from a self-inflicted misery!
Check this idiot. The fool could be talking to his future President and don’t know how to address the man!!
Turns out that Tucker is not fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is still bound to Fox!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another opinion!!
The Dems have said ‘no debates’. This is tantamount to the usual American elections rigging. Democracy? What a farce!
But it still smells stink as shite!
They listen to talk radio by day AND watch Tucker by night.
By the way, TUCKER believed that Biden got 81, 000, 000 votes.
Called your “very serious” KRAKEN lady “a lunatic”.
And judging from the non-appearance of the long awaited Kraken, he was a better judge than you were.
But then, so was I!
Hahahahahaha!
Murdaaah!
“No upside to Trump. A demonic force. Good at destroying things. I hate him PASSIONATELY.”
And then turned right around and said the opposite in an interview.
Such integrity! More trustworthy than Maddow!
It was fun to watch Trumplethinskin sit opposite the man who hated him so passionately and contain himself for the camera. It was fun to watch Tucker pucker up to kiss Trumplethinskin’s fat, pudgy ass in an effort to keep his audience. (He must be kicking himself.)
Nearly as good as watching the door almost hit Trumple in the orange face when nobody held it open for him at his arraignment.
But what really tickled me lately, was those two Republican operatives’ Freudian slips.
One was fully supporting PRESIDENT CHUMP….and the other was fully behind PRESIDENT FRAUD!
Murdaaaaaah! You can’t make this stuff up!
I haven’t watched a sitcom in ages. Who needs ’em?

@TheO
“From the resulting eight years or 2 920 days, Justice Worrell deducted the time that Lynch had already spent on remand, which was 613 days. Another 450 days were deducted for the delay in having the matter adjudicated, leaving Lynch with 1 857 days left to spend in jail. That is a concurrent sentence for the theft and money laundering of the larger amounts.”
613 days on remand!!!
Whites hated Trump but he was the Great White Savior
an euphemism to hate blacks and browns in Amerikkka
He mobilised right wing honkies like no other
many are doing bird serving prison time
This is the first morning that I did not read BT. My day is ruined.
Why do Bajans fix things that are not broken. As soon as they get something working properly, they start more fixing. The broken bits and pieces that are littering their spaces are ignored; the stuff that is working properly, they try to fix and end up breaking it.
The whole world know “if it aint broke don’t fix it”, but these Einsteins believe “if it aint broke, then break it”.
Someone needs to tell the folks at BT “Stop it. You are not geniuses. You will not make it better. Abandon those great ideas and go to bed. Leave them for BU blogmaster :-). I am still hurting from his last great fix”
(I was just having a bit of fun with the two last sentences – For the record I read and understood his explanation, but that isn’t funny)
BT undo the fixes. Find a next way to ruin the day.
Not in a good mood

It looks as If 555 got a job at BT.
555, resign or fire yourself immediately and stick to BU
