oh the famous discover rim job.

As much as I like to see Belize on the news it would have been nice for him to speak with a few Belizean's. Seems like the only thing that interested him were the gringo's that run various organizations around the country.

Overall I thought the episodes were basically very poor journalism and they did not reflect anything real about this country. Speaking with the Guy that is about to develop Long Caye does not really do anything for me.

In these difficult financial times I hope that the parent company does not need to borrow money from the US government so that they can continue to go on their little excursions around the planet.


I guess I am just a resentful #@$%&*!

The NBC bit has done more for tourism in Belize in two days than all of the millions of dollars the BTB has spent over the years.

Matt Lauer put Belize on the map for millions and millions of viewers.

The Today Show? Journalism?

I think we're confusing infotainment with news.

Why are you resentful?

Blake Ross is not a Johnny come lately with a back hoe and dredger. There are many of us who invested in Long Caye at Lighthouse a number of years back and are abiding by VERY stringent environmental regulations. So much so that progress out there has been very slow and I have been trashed, here on this board, for believing that it can be done.

There are now three different lodgings open and a dive shop.

YES - that was my question that was answered on the air and of course I had gotten a phone call minutes before and missed it. LOL However, I have heard from a number of people in various parts of the world that sent me the video clip. I just am not anonymous!

Reaper, you are so right. Honest reporting is so much more beneficial than beating a drum with pie in the sky information. Let's hope this has some positive effect.

Beating my drum
