That sounds too much like actually getting a job done right and for the good of the nation.

> And 100% peaceful too.

Exactly. Tell that to the press that at least in this story, saw the need to interview our police about what the press believed the US believed about our marching for our lives. This is very telling of how Bahamians see themselves and the agendas that exist in Bahamian media houses. At no time did Bahamian authorities, even government politicians who you thought might be upset, indicate that violence or disturbances of any kind were anticipated or feared. Yet a US advisory made the Bahamian media see a Bahamian event in The Bahamas as something that it was not. Even after the media itself was there and saw with their own eyes how peaceful and wonderful the event was, they still saw the need to question the police on what did not exist and never did exist.

I don't know why you think skin color bares logical relevance to the specific points I raised about media coverage, but to each his or her own.

And actually, they would not have even needed drones for those who may not have them. The march was bordered by hotels - a simple shot from any of those buildings or another appropriate elevation would have provided a journalistically accurate photo. To photographically represent over 1,000 people as only 3 or 4 is not journalism at all, it is lying. And one should question why the media took the slant it did with once again repeating the US advisory on an event that had no violent incident or disruption of any kind, and with presenting an overall downplay in reporting. Notice that no government official was questioned about the march? Notice no one attending the IDB closing was questioned - even though the march was in part planned because of the critical context of IDB funds having been granted to The Bahamas years prior for landfills in Nassau and the Family Islands? People believe that one media house over another is more concerned about truth. That is not true. What they are concerned about is **agendas**, and sadly, the public is almost never the wiser about what those agendas are and what they look like when presented to us.

As much as I hate it being so, this country in so many ways is absolutely nauseating.

> Escapted?

I said the same thing. I know typos can make it to print, but they happen quite a bit with these media houses.

It is a disgrace the way the Bahamas media downplayed the turnout and accomplishment of this initiative. Both papers are leading in print and online with photos showing 3 to 4 people max, that is an absolute travesty when over one thousand people took part. Photojournalism is a critical and indispensable part of the story media houses tell the world. The media can lead with aerials of a crowd at Carnival or a political rally, but when the people stand up for their very lives and do so in a well organized and mature manner - it gets treated like a random souse out by the media. The stories in print also do no justice to what took place. Anyone who was not there or was not following the event in real time would, by the media reports, believe that this was just a little event with a few ticked off people venting for the time being - which means the media has failed in giving the true and accurate picture. I guess next time, such initiatives need to be primarily sponsored by certain infamous expatriates in order to get the press they should in their own country.

What does it matter? Bahamians will support in large numbers and with their money anyway. Bahamians talk a good game on the internet and then turn right around and support the very thing they claim to have a problem with. If they didnt support it with their attendance and their money then things would have to change, but we never seem to understand or even care about that reality.

This moron is repeating this canned statement again, and still does not know that no prime minister has the power to simply introduce any of these things.

Cocktails, anyone?
