LETTER: Erna-mae’s ABS finally decides to report on the UPP

12

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent actions of ABS, which have further eroded its credibility as a trusted news source.

ABS’s biased reporting, particularly regarding the resignation of Dr. Cleon Athill, highlights its failure to uphold journalistic integrity and impartiality.

It is evident that ABS has chosen to prioritize its allegiance to the Antigua Labour Party Administration over its duty to provide balanced and unbiased news coverage.

This is not only disappointing but also dangerous, as it undermines the public’s trust in the media and hinders the free flow of information.

Furthermore, ABS’s selective reporting on UPP-related news is unacceptable.

The recent protests, charitable donations, and other significant events involving the UPP have been ignored or downplayed by ABS, demonstrating a clear bias in its editorial decisions.

They ignored the following opposition events:

*The UPP protest outside parliament  *The protest outside the ministry of health by Jonathan Joseph  *Numerous charitABLE donations made by different members of the UPP *The issue of the condition of the leader of the opposition’s office. *The representation of the Leader of the Opposition at a public accounts committee meeting in Trinidad *The coverage of the request of the opposition to have the Chairman of ABEC removed *The UPP’s release on the lack of consultation for the said ABEC chairman.

As a national broadcaster, ABS has a responsibility to report news in the public interest, regardless of political affiliation.

Its failure to do so not only betrays the trust of the Antiguan and Barbudan people but also undermines the democratic process.

I urge all right-thinking citizens to hold ABS accountable for its actions by boycotting their programming, unfollowing their social media pages, and seeking out alternative sources of news.

Only through collective action can we ensure that our media remains free, fair, and impartial.

Sincerely, Hell-a-Mae

  1. I endorse this letter fully. Burford is an ALP prostitute and has lost any sense of credibility and journalistic integrity. His day will come as will many others.
    You never hear any reports on the escalating crimes in this country; ALP headed by the idiotic, bad-minded DAWG tries some parliamentary gymnastics last Thursday and absolutely nothing from ABS. Nepotism runs rampant in this country as does corruption. Nothing. MSJMC is a tragedy. Nada
    What the hell was the purpose of Burford on the China trip?
    This country is just rotten to the core. Hey, it ALP in power. It’s business as usual.
    Anyway, I haven’t watched ABS in 10 years.

    • You guys wish Cleon Athill resigning means the end of UPP, lol, think again.
      Cleon is an eccentric individual, i.e. different.
      ONE THING I CAN ASSURE YOU OF IS THAT SHE WOULD NEVER SUPPORT RED/ABLP/ NOR U GASTON BROWNE…..TEK IT FROM ME….SHE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TO PARTAKE OF YOUR CORRUPTION.
      SHE DESPISES THE ABLP, SO WHEEL AND COME AGAIN.

    • Former UPP soldiers who have fallen on their swords . They ran away from the UPP because they are unable to Lead or have any type of intelligent perspective and dialog. Allowing Ineffective Harold & D. Giselle to continue to run the party is going to cause great harm to the fledging party. No one runs from anything good. Dr. Athill leaving will serve as a valuable lesson to the stubborn UPP members who are left, vote for anyone other than Pringle, Harold and Pearl please.

  3. Well said writer! She doesn’t even try to hide her bias! It is the citizens’ radio station not hers or the ablp! Speaking about some supposed shake up when there is none. Stop trying to make mountains out of mole hills and report on the many incompetent deals that Gaston has involved us in!

  4. ABS should be renamed ‘Fox News’ or ‘GB News’ after these two BIASED American and UK media organisations.

    I can’t remember the last time I watched ABS (which to me means Ablp Broadcasting Services), because of there pro government stance. Sickening!

    And don’t talk to me how their head reporter Benfoot – or Burford – sucks up to ABLP’S Members by giving them “soft” questions. He weak so till!

    I still recall in recent times when Gassssston Browne was holding on to a ABS microphone as if he was part of their journalistic team … this blatant bias behaviour is out of order, and would be laughable under any other circumstances.

    Great article Hell-a-Mae 👍🏾

    Much respect!

  5. Clean has a right to make a decision to make a concerning her
    future..
    It’s her business,
    Why we all up in it..
    She gave us her reasons and we have to accept them..
    Abs just want to start mess..
    They just being messy!!

  6. ABS …. As we all know is ANTIGUA LABOR PARTY BROADCASTERS SERVITUDE

    ERNAMAE dnt have a life she NEEDS TO FEEL RELEVANT when most ANTIGUANS DNT WATCH ABS MOST TV ARE ON AMERICAN CHANNELS

    SHE HAS ALLEGIANCE TO GASTON HE DOES WRONG BUT NOT ONE OF HIS ENABLERS WILL TELL HIM TO HIS FACE bcos the fear him and the consequences

    She sits on boards he appointed her too so how dare they ever tell him Gaston I dnt agree with you or Gaston you’re wrong!

    Birdied plays politics too a mean to say where else but in Antigua a Jamaican can read our news and rub shoulders with a PM
    ever see him interviewing ANDREW HOLNESS??

    Both of them have to be bias bcos when you have nothing to gain ONLY then you can be partial
