Baker relishing defence of Barbados Legends title

Things are hotting up nicely on the Legends Tour with only three weeks to go until the OFX Irish Legends at Mount Juliet (May 15th – 17th) and this week the Barbados Legends hosted by Ian Woosnam returns to the stunning Apes Hill, with a stellar field looking to claim the title won in a dramatic play-off by Peter Baker 12 months ago.

It “amounts to a signal to news outlets to follow the #WhiteHouse line or risk being kicked out as well.” — #PeterBaker, #NewYorkTimes

The #MSM has been toeing that 🤡 line since that golden escalator ride-along.

Thanks to them and #politicians enabling the weakening/perverting of #NewsMedia for decades (eg, re media ownership, #FauxNews), it will now be tougher, if not impossible, to hold onto their profession, our democracy.

And by "media," Lawrence means The New York Times.

Lawrence: The media is trying (and failing) to cure themselves of 'sane-washing' Trump 

What The New York Times calls a “disputable policy assumption,” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains that that is just the Times “sane-washing” Donald Trump’s tariff lies. Lawrence explains why the media’s “sane-washing” of Donald Trump means that Vice President Harris won’t just be debating Trump in the first presidential debate, she will also be debating the news media reviewers of the debate.
