So if you disagree with his opinions present your reasons for a differing point of view and please note just because you use the word FACT in capital letters doesn&#039;t automatically mean your remarks are factual, substantiated or rational for that matter.  

So either step up or sit down and be silent.  Noise pollution and repetition does not an argument make.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Betty , if you were so enamored with &#039;Watching&#039;s&#039; response of 3.24pm why didn&#039;t you post your lovingly supportive responsive of it UNDER  that post ?

Well all know why .You&#039;re a post hog .Will you and all your alter ego sock puppet friends show some internet decorum for once ? 

You&#039;re all blowing a gasket now and it&#039;s as plain as the nose on our faces.  What would you be saying if Bryant had stayed on and supported criticism of the OBA ? You would all have loved that.

You&#039;re all full of conspiracy theories and attacks against this man and he hasn&#039;t said a damn thing yet. 

I&#039;m just surprised that in all your rage and anger you haven&#039;t yet called him an uncle tom or a house *******

You&#039;re that angry . REALLY  !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the comment by @WATCHING puts it best.

watching says:

 May 15, 2014 at 3:24 pm

&quot;this is a clear move by Trew and his OBA crew to attempt to nullify the credibility of Johnson and therefore erode support for his website and his journalistic endeavours. I expect Trew&#039;s column tomorrow will vilify and call into question much about Johnson.&quot;


&quot;However Thad Hollis has already spoken what most believe, that there is validity in the report hence the internal investigation. I never understood what happened to Trew.&quot;

Well said WATCHING.


Further, is it also a political strategy by the OBAubp to remove the Premier, but in a particular way and style?  Is it also an attempt to make folks believe that Mr. Johnson is the one that lacks creditability and not Trew?  I believe a political game is taking place to achieve the OBAubp overall move on the chess board, without too many of them falling on their swords.  Notice the silence from some of their key players.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I too was surprise that Mr. Trew was picked as a public editor for Ayo Johnson&#039;s think Bermuda media effort to bring forward real investigative reporting in Bermuda.
If he would have stayed he certainly would have been in odds with his OBA allegiance. Not that I am going to criticize him for that. I myself have used journalistic techniques in writing columns and political opinions; not that I am a train journalist; but like Mr. Trew I have no hesitation in taking sides.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well first of all people, let&#039;s put this into perspective. Mr Trew&#039;s &quot;position&quot; with Think Media is not a full time job. It&#039;s not a 5 day a week, 9 to 5 thing. 

I&#039;m sure he was doing it on a case by case basis. He&#039;s getting a lot of flack on here for no reason, especially when we don&#039;t know much else beyond what has been said by Ayo Johnson. He&#039;s not the OBA&#039;s spokesperson, in fact he&#039;s criticised the OBA in the past.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well first of all people, let&#8217;s put this into perspective. Mr Trew&#8217;s &#8220;position&#8221; with Think Media is not a full time job. It&#8217;s not a 5 day a week, 9 to 5 thing. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure he was doing it on a case by case basis.

		<description><![CDATA[If &quot;The Public Editor does not preview or discuss articles with reporters/editors prior to publication, and is not ordinarily advised of articles under development or the schedule of publication&quot; what&#039;s the point of having an editor?

Sounds like window dressing in the hope of lending legitimacy to the site.  

As Mr. Trew tendered his resigned after only a week on the job, one has to wonder whether this project has long term credibility problems given this recent turn of events. 

Either way, it doesn&#039;t look overly positive for Mr. Johnson and his much championed ethical standards if the founding public editor throws in the towel following publication of just one story.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NO SURPRISE HERE, not sure as to why Mr. Johnson selected Mr. Trew to be ‘Think Media&#039;s Editor’ in the first place. It was far from being a good choice. I just could not understand such a choice, when we have several other persons with extremely more remarkable qualification in journalism than Mr. Trew.  But for sure it tells us Mr. Trew would have great difficulty in exposing his beloved OBAubp, this was just too difficult for him. 

One only needs to read the opinion pieces written by Mr. Trew to quickly draw the conclusion he lacks any credibility more so sincerity. Mr. Trew is known for publishing opinion pieces that fail to hold up to the principal of good Journalism and Media standards or Ethics. His weekly writing are similar to that of those weekly shabby, sensationalist and rubbishy tabloid articles, and lack any credibility of true journalist. Weekly his opinion pieces are full of bias. A real effective Opinion piece takes into consideration —truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability—as these apply to the acquisition of newsworthy information and its subsequent dissemination to the public. Mr. Trew has failed to accomplish anything that reflects truth ethical standards of journalism.  
 

It is clear that his writings are driven by his disinclination and animosity towards the PLP, thus this becomes his motivation for writing.  I think most recognize that now, we got it, therefore we also overlook it as well as nothing more than a JOKE. We got that his overall objective is to attack the PLP, and support the OBAubp regardless of right or wrong. It is no way he could remain Editor of Think Media and remain unbiased. He would not be able to control his emotional bias to prevent protection of his beloved OBAubp.  I hope he is not one of those selected to investigate the OBAubp, if so the JOKE just got more laughable. 


Much love Trew as I am likely to be the subject of his next tabloid articles….as he lovesmesomuchthathementionsmynameinalmosteveryarticle.]]></description>
