@ Jeff Daniel: Try using English next time! That comment was so damn hard to read. It was as if you deliberately decided to be cryptic.

Like Kenny does not lie? This man has said and done a number of things which are very harmful to the citizens of the country. If we are going to magnify Guy Joseph's propaganda - why are we afraid of the many misleading things that Kenny has said -
It's time to be honest and not become protectionist journalist
For some if rhe many lies and misleadiing statements that Kenny had said.
Your duty as a journalist is not to protect one side or the other or to magnify the lies over some, but to report the news in an unbiased way and allow the country to decide.

Jeff Daniel, you have left me so confused here, that I suggest you write your comments in Greek instead. As a matter of respect, I honestly tried to read what you had to say, but you disrespected me with that CRAP you scribbled there. What did you say? As for Micah, especially for his journalist colleagues, we will be wasting our time if we expect certain reporters to give a shit about the truth. Clearly they give more importance to the Party they support. Ask Tim Poleon the FAT MOUT JOKER! In the process, they lose any respect and their careers in journalism, like Peter Josie, are shattered. Very few reporters in St. Lucia get real respect from anybody, since all they do is play politics. Nicole is the chief culprit, and when Rick Pain is gone, let's see just what the heck she will do with herself. Mae Wayne and the Star will drop her for sure, then Chou-mackack! Journalists, try to take Micah's advice for your own good, now and in the future. Good points Micah.

This topic no doubt has to be addressed. But, damn, from Micah? He is the wrong writer, one of the worse culprits. Perhaps the least objective of our corps of local reporter right now.

Micah you should engage your "journalistic qualities" (moreso the lack of there of) and practice what you wrote in this article.

Too many of your articles are found wanting of investigative journalism. Dumbfounded that you would write such an article. Too much political interference in your writing.

I do agree that proper research needs to be done prior to reporting. Why not start with yourself...today

i had a really good laugh reading the bloggers on this particular article. Okay, lets get this straight.

Point Number one: for Micah to right an article like this knowing full well that he is a political reporter and that most of his pieces are politically base is a shocker. That took guts and i applaud the guy. Well done Mr. George.

That you have put yourself up for scrutiny now whenever you write a political piece is a rather brave move. Again i applaud you. well done Mr. George.

I am coming to the realization that you are a class above the rest, irrespective of what your critics may say. as least you not afraid to be publicly scrutinized, publicly lambast and public taken to task. Again i applaud you.

And finally, to those party hacks that hide under the faceless anonymity of anonymous i say this. more than 90 percent of Mr. George political articles are on target. if he criticizes stephenson king or the UWP his criticisms are well founded and on target. that's a fact, however the party hacks will criticise him as a labour hack and singing for his supper and call him all types of names even to say he cannot write and knows not what he talks about. However they never once comment on the points raised in the articles.

i challenged anyone to refute me. the articles are all online and can be read.

by the way i am an avid ready of all bloggers to all articles on the voice website. i also follow Micah constantly. in y books he is the best political middle of the road political reporter. i dare anyone to prove me wrong by showing me the evidence. don't tell me what you think. show me the evidence.

It's not like the article isn't good. What worries most of us is the person who wrote the article. Micah have been trending in the direction of the SLP for months now. You understand why most of us have dismissed the article? You can't have a writer who skews his articles to benifit Kenny and the SLP and tell him its a good article.

As some have said up there they all lie.

everybody knows the slp leader is one of those politicians who treating media with law suits like i said i don't why politicians like slp leader don't expect to questioned but the media for thing they do ,what say about others about them etc. Some these politicians do things expecting the media questioning about their actions what run for what are hiding .like said before all these politicians should be under investigation by the fbi. We can't afford to have corrupt people running this country.We do need more strict laws and measures for politicians in this country especially for those running the country.More should be done to protect journalists and reporters form political victimization.

Maybe if the country was more free under Kenny, journalist would not have a problem telling it like it is and admitting that Kenny Anthony is one of the biggest fruads when it comes in lying.

Journalist today, have no backbone! They are spineless and uninformed about most subject matters.It is hard to find those who can pushback with hard questions when faced with outright mendacity! Look at the state of the profession in the Uunited States today!
