St. Maarten Private Eye

I think the same way you do. I listen every now and then but the ignorance of the people and the talk show hosts get to me most of the time. We have all kind of people on radio and tv hosting shows without knowing our laws or our political set up, meaning how our parliament works and how we fit into the constelation of the Kingdom government.
This has to be blamed on our politicians and our educators as so many of our people went to study in the US (just like Lloyd) and Oral) and come back knowing more about the US legal system than they have an understanding of ours.
While Lloyd's most of the time treats the callers fairly and tries to bring about an issue with as much discussion as possible, Oral deliberately tries to knock down his callers and his guests by talking so much about his great education and he knows best about every issue and argument. The man breeds ignorance to his viewers.
An example was this past week when he had Jantjie on his show, what prompted him to start a delirious comment about his education over the people working at PJD2? Oral is a DP man, everyone knows it, he is for sale.
He received from the DP a building in Simpson Bay and other things that he played hard ball with the DP to get.
Years ago, Oral was bashing up the DP on every nightly show, the DP knew he wanted something, they gave in and he shut up, simple as that. PJD2 might be owned by Don Hughes, but his employees all have their own opinions, not all are PPA voters. It is the only unbiased news on the island.
I myself don't enjoy the choice of music played on 102.7fm and 1300am, I must say that news wise it is the top. And yes, the people are still for a greater part ignorant, reason why many would vote for the party that gives them a rental car for a few months, blocks for their house, construction material, house rents gets paid/ would not surprise me if politicians start to help those same people who are owing the SMHF.
Maybe that was the trick of that article in the first place, show now that many owe the SMHF, so that the politicians can bail them out with the money that will be falling from the skies right into their give out purse to help the needy just in time for election. And can someone please explain to me, why are our Commissioners driving around in rental cars these days?
