I want to acknowledge the people who wrote in and were not happy with my column on the attacks against Matthew and SaLuSa. I hear you that for you it was drama, he said/she said, etc.
Perhaps I could say what’s at stake for me here.
“Raheem’s” attack on Matthew and SaLuSa is the fourth that has occurred in the past two months. The one that occurred about two months ago nearly saw Mike Quinsey retire.
Not many channels look at current affairs and among those who do, Suzy’s Matthew and Mike’s SaLuSa are, in my opinion, the best.
If I were to lose access to Matthew and SaLuSa because no one defended Suzy or Mike from attack, it would make the job that I do much more difficult and far less enjoyable.
So I acknowledge that you may have been irritated with the discussion and it isn’t my intention to irritate you. But it is my intention to show Mike and Suzy that their work is valued and that an unjust attack on them won’t be simply brushed aside.
