Citing differences with KBMT TV over the handling of recent news stories, a beloved local meteorologist has stepped down from his job. With no work replacement in mind!
Veteran news and weather journalist James Brown (far left in the image above) submitted his letter of resignation citing his inability to “be a part of” recent coverage that he called imbalanced and lacking in context. Brown said its just “adding hatred” to the emotionally charged stories. “It’s just wrong,” said Brown after indicating he believes only part of the story is being told. He seemed to understand the hurt feelings of African Americans and supported stories on racial injustice but seems to believe only half the story is being told. That context is not being provided and that bias is creeping in.
The meteorologist told news management in his resignation letter that he would not participate in “this injustice to my beliefs as a Christian, and proud American.” Brown wrote, “… I still believe red, yellow, black and white we are precious in HIS sight.”
Brown tells 1813news.com he made the decision without another job in mind and solely on the ground of his convictions. He said, “Adding fuel to a fire that is out of control is NOT in me to associate with.”
Good man..keep up the great work and stand your ground
I’m glad you are standing your ground!!! Sure miss your gumbo James Brown 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Someone in the media with a moral compass, very rare these days!
I will no longer support nor watch KBMT or buy from their local advertisers. It would be in the best interest of advertisers not to be associated with such radical news as KBMT has exhibited as of late. The video that DeJonique Garrison dis was appalling.
Amen, America sooo desperately needs more honesty & integrity in our news media!!!!!
That’s what a good Christian does they can’t go on not telling the whole story or telling the truth and I think that’s wonderful God bless you
Yes indeed
What was so biased about Dejonique Garrison’s editorial. I listened to her editorial five times, and nothing she said can be refuted by the American historical record. She was not attacking all people or the United States of America, she was commenting on systemic racism and bigoted practices plaguing America. When a nation will not face up to its history, then we propaganda and not open dialogue. We need to have the courage to face all of history, the good and the bad.
I can surely understand. GOD BLESS YOU!

KBMT TV get your company straight and clean house and bring back the best your company has ever had: JAMES BROWN, ERICA HARRIS AND KEVIN STEELE. We cannot believe you let Ms. Harris & Mr. Steele
go when they were such a favorite public established news team for years. Mr. Brown also has always been a hugh favorite at Channel 6 and followed over to Channel 12.
Good for you! We all need to stand up and stop this craziness! We are American no matter the color of our skin!
Good for you James. Stick to your guns. You are spot on. God bless you.
Good for you James,it would be hard to work somewhere that is only reporting news that they fill is to benefit them, KBMT has all ways been a left leaning station,ouit watching them a long time ago..
I willl miss your presents but have enormous respect for your motives
I stopped watching KBMT,
for the same reason…keep the faith, brother!
Great job James. As a Christian I am saddened by the media. They only want negativity. God loves all lived and Jesus died for all of us.
God Bless you Sir! I know this was a hard decision but God will open another door for you! We must take a stand for right!
Wow!! Way to go James B. 🙏 praying for you to receive another job offer!! The truth always wins. It’s called character, and God first
We are ALL PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT!!!
Ive said the same thing over and over for the past while.
Liberal News outlets nationwide have bowed to the demands of radical leftist groups such as B.L.M. to the détriment of our society.
Politicians and those ( in charge ) of us docile sheeple are like a Judas goats leading our nation to destruction. This is in an effort to not lose 10% of their votes.
Word Up : A storm is on the horizon.
I support you James . I pray others feel the same way but just maybe the courage to resign is not within them .
Finally, a reporter with integrity.
Basically, he liked it when we only heard the white point of view, and can’t handle hearing African Americans voicing their opinion. He can call it Christian, or he can call it what it truly is, racism. The news has spewed hate towards AA for years, and he proudly sat for that; now he has to go… gotcha. Leave so you don’t have to talk about your fellow coworkers in the dark anymore. Your “Christian” buddies are waiting for you. Black Lives Matter… even if you can’t handle hearing it.
Very typical. Claim racism everytime someone has a different view. Go back to your basement.
Keep believing that….God knows.
BLM is a Communist Organization
Why no one seems to notice that I haven’t got an answer. I grew up believing in people, understanding I would always posses bias and prejudice based on my experiences. But I never thought our Country could be divided by false accusations, broad sweeping generalizations and hatred. It doesn’t matter what position or political viewpoint, we either will resolve this or it will spin out of control
Glad you know this man’s heart. Typical liberal to hate and sling mud. You people are beyond sad and pathetic.
LIVES MATTER
If you have to put a color in front of it then you might be the racist
You’re a coward! You make such an accusation but can’t even sign your name. Shame on you!
Sharon
“The news has spewed hate towards AA for years.” Really how so, can you give a specific example? Or are you just trying to stir up more hate?
We all notice you “anonymously ” post your small opinion. Sorry you are ‘frustrated’ but you are a coward, spewing your own hate while hiding.
James Brown, God bless you for standing up.
This is what he’s talking about. People thinking only the left has the right to an opinion. Your mindset is what he’s talking about.
You should’ve signed your name COWARD instead of frustrated. James Brown isn’t racist & has more integrity in his pinky finger than you do in your whole body. I just wonder who you REALLY are..hmm.
You arenot understanding the man. He said BOTH sides and James Brown has ALWAYS said both sides. Your attack on him is unjustified!
Black Lies Matter.
He is a Racist Point Blank
What evidence do you have: James Brown as a racist ?
I don’t believe this statement you’re projecting !
LMP
They have no point of view. When you say your love fe matters and others don’t. Then you have lost your platform for people being prejudice against you. You are doing what your protest are about. Quit whining n change name of platform to all lives matter. Blm is nothing but black klan
What is it when the color of ones skin is more important that the content of ones character? BLACK LIVES MATTER has shown much violence and no tolerance for differing points of view. Apparently “only” black lives matter, not anyone else’s. Black babies don’t matter, gang violence doesn’t matter, families don’t matter to this organization.
Disgust at theft and arson all over the country doesn’t detract from recognizing unjust instances of police brutality, just as expressing dissatisfaction with an unfair system isn’t an endorsement of violent attacks on civilized society. https://www.wsj.com/articles/racism-riots-and-blm-11591744661
The 1960s civil rights movement had an innate respectability because our leaders often were heads of the black church, as well. Unfortunately, church and spirituality are not high priorities for Black Lives Matter, and the ethics of love, forgiveness and reconciliation that empowered black leaders such as King and Nelson Mandela in their successful quests to win over their oppressors are missing from this movement. Violence, arson, destruction in a movement do not win people over to your side.
The fact is that ALL lives matter. God doesn’t differentiate people by the color of their skin, and neither should we.
So when are the protests for all the murders that happen on a nightly basis across this country in the black community that are committed by other blacks going to happen? We as a society have never argued that black lives matter, not even hundreds of years ago when there was literally a war in this country to prove that Black lives mattered, but when are the black people gonna start acting like black lives matter too and stop shooting each other?
Are you serious, or trolling?
Where in this article did you get the idea that it had anything to do with race?
Once you bring race into the subject … YOU are the problem.
Your a certified racist.
FRUSTRATED please please please keep posting! The silent majority sits back and and laughs because you’re to dumb to figure out what the root problems are. Quit blaming the white man. Everyone needs to be personally responsible for their actions. Bad decisions usually have bad consequences…. I’d rather see that on shirts then BLM. You know we do not take you serious. We just make more prisons for people that can’t act right…. not white. Be blessed.

Such hate. James B. is a TRUE man of God. He knows that all this hate and strife are NOT of God. I admire someone who will stand up for what he believes God wants and His plan. God does not want all this division for His children. It is sad that people so hate-filled they would rather disrespect someone for their faith beliefs than become a part of the solution. Some day you will stand before God and be accountable for being a part of the hateful problem than part of the solution. God wants us to have His love for each other. There are ways to work on the problems without all the violence and destruction. Many people of colors are willing to work side by side to stop those who seek the continued division. This is so much more than race against race. This is from the pit of hell and satan knows those who are easily manipulated with hate and will continue the strife, bitterness and anger instead of working to find solutions for peace and togetherness.
So, what your saying via BLM is that the only lives that matter in your…opinion… is “Black” lives?. If so then only racist I see is the one focusing on one race…..and not ALL races. So yeah YOU ARE THE RACIST. ALL lives matter… not just Black lives.. but you go on believing the way to banish racism from the world is to scream we are the only ones that matter and the rest of the world has no voice in any conversations. So not only are you a racist but your a Marxist tyrant as well. Not to the level of Hitler but you are pushing the envelope of racism to the extreme.
Lol only these white people are upset. Thankyou so much!
I’m going to miss you James. However I am proud of you for standing up for your convictions. If more people would do that we would not have the problems we do as a society nowadays
Amen !!!
I am so sorry to see you go James Brown was so excited you came back but I understand. When God puts something on your heart and tells you what to do we must listen. Will miss you bunches but I understand your convictions
Mr Brown , I believe your decision is highly favored in the insight of God. If all of us would love our religion to this point what a wonderful world it would be. And, Your Pastor support your decision and amazed as he spread The Good News.
Good for you Mr. Brown. God bless you for staying true to your beliefs. May God bless you.
Thank you for not fueling the hatred in our country. We need more people like you to make America a better place. I do support all peaceful protest for the injustice done.

EVERYONE GET BEHIND THIS AND GET OUR PEOPLE BACK
Kevin Steele seemed quite biased. I’ve seen his comments on fb before. He seems very anti 2A as well. Good ridance.
See above
I am with you, I thank you for standing up for your beliefs.
As a Christian, I respect him for his decision. He’s not compromising his belief in GOD. GOD bless him and his family.
I stopped watching When I realize that in every Story You try to only give one part!
So sorry I put that on There! I thought it was a different post! So Happy for Y’all!
I sure hope he prayed about his decison. Also, if he’s truly a Christian, he needs to allow God to examine his heart according to the Bible. People are more sold out to a flag, political party, or organization than they are to advancing the oppressed & forgotten people. Jesus often upset legalistic rulers if his day by breaking the rules (healing people on the Sabbath, forgiving a woman caught in adultery, etc) to help people, the way blacks in the U.S. have been mistreated for years. So, Mr. Weather Man needs to sincerely question is salvation and sanctification.
God bless you James Brown! Your faith in God and Christian beliefs is what I try and live by.
Be honest and fair. We all have skeletons. If you left because you felt slighted for lime light good riddance. If you truly believe America is for all races ..You sometimes don’t show it. Actions speak louder than words.

Your comment makes no sense whatsoever.
James Brown lived in Port Arthur for a lot of years.That man has never had a corrupt bone in his body.His love for people,I said people!!!That includes red,yellow,black and white.He was raised colorblind to love all.The right way like God does.It makes me physically ill to see how our people in this country have turned against each other.We are all brothers and sisters in Christ.I still believe in the Ten Commandments and to love your neighbor as yourself.I don’t like what our government is trying to do to all of us.Anyone who has any sense knows what it is trying to do.They are trying to cause a civil war so they can shut us down and make us dependable on them and they can control our lives.Thats called socialism.Choose you this day who you will serve.James Brown chose God.I so admire him for standing up.Bless you James.Love you but you did what you had to do.Great is your reward.
Thank you James Brown for standing up for your beliefs. May you be an inspiration to others. It is all of the media that is not giving the full stories!! I’ve basically stopped watching any news completely. It is so one sided. Don’t worry James, God has your back and that is everything!
Thank you James Brown and I and many agree. We are only seeing part of every story! Thank you for taking a stand.
We Support You Mr Brown,Thank You For Standing On Our Christian Values .GOD Will Show You The Way ,Please If Anyone Could Hire Mr. Brown ,Please Do So ,He Is A Good Christian Man ,GOD Please Bless
Not surprised that James Brown stood firmly for his convictions. He’s the kind of person that we’ve all enjoyed knowing and have respected him down through the years. True strength of character is the aim of all Education and is to be valued.
I taught in the PNGISD for 28 yrs. and often saw James Brown volunteering in classes doing weather demonstrations. While demonstrating, he set quite a standard by being a good example for our students. You’ve lost a good ChristianWeatherman for your desire for political correctness.🙏🏻🇺🇸😢
Good for him about time somebody stands up to the B.S.
Really like James Brown but I’m with him this has gotten out of hand and the news is just pouring gas on the fire every day that’s why I try and watch the morning show but when they start talking about all the mess I turn it off I don’t believe in what happened is right but people gets sick of having hear it every day and then the news showed the funeral like he was a president so now I don’t watch the news at all it too depressing they show nothing good that’s happening just bad
I so wish ALL news personnel had your BACK BONE!! All news media personnel are spineless coward hypocrites!! Fake news and lies is all they report. And racism is first and foremost. My husband and I only watch for the weather and now your gone. Good luck to you in your next venture. Please let your followers know where you end up so we can follow. God Bless.
I respect him for his beliefs and doing what is right
“Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”
The holy grail for many journalists. Truth in journalism is at an all time low. I want facts not opinions. I can form them on my own.
Thanks James
I think he did what his Christian beliefs led him to do. I totally agree with him. Half truths are being broadcast, and it’s always the half that is on the democratic side. I’m sorry to see him go, but don’t blame him at all. I have so much respect for him.
God bless you! Stick to your guns! I’m proud of you but will miss you.
some minds are so open that everything leaks out, then some minds are so closed that nothing factual, enlightening or helpful can get in. I do not believe anyone that holds the values that Mr. Brown does would allow any hate or malice or intolerance to be a part of his life. Take a look at the finished product and see what you’re missing. Ask yourselves how would I react,would I leave a job based on my convictions and take the criticisms that will come? Courage, more of us will exhibit search.Color is not his issue, bias is his issue. Come let us reason together, says the Lord
Wow, such an inspiration to see Mr. Brown take a moral and ethical stand for truth and integrity that is lacking in our main stream media. I’m sending wishes for Blessings in his future endeavors.
Go James !
Y’all need to be more like James, oh yea he’s a Christian so he want lie like some of y’all. Would y’all please do the right thing and report the truth and not try to cause riots.
Stand up for what is right, we as Christian are with you all the way and lifting you up in prayers.
WELL SAID AND DONE
Love you JB and wish you well. Stand up for your convictions in difficult situations as you walk the walk, is admirable. We all are going to have choices to make. God’s peace and blessings.
The station manager needs to respond and instruct on what is acceptable commentary during this crazy time! All Live Matter and that young lady needs to be disciplined and needs to apologize for her remarks that gave hint to her being a racist herself!
You people want to change America from it’s founding roots. Good, bad or indifferent it is what it is. You, the minority don’t get to change what the majority want. The country already fought a war over race. You have hijacked the law and turned it against us. Now you appear to want to réfight that war. Why should we let you change it? If you want another way of living that’s better suited to your way of thinking then leave this way to the majority and go to another country. It has suited Americans for 200 years.
Way to go James Brown! I no longer watch the station for the same reason. I wish you well!
Good for you James Brown🤩 Wish we had more men who would STAND UP for their convictions! The media could change the world!
I was glad to see him back. Sorry to see him leave.
I thought that 12 was fair minded, as I preferred them instead of the other stations. I’ll have to re-evaluate this.
I have always enjoyed your friendship over the years. You have also shown to me to be a real upright Guy and I respect you for it. Good Luck whatever you do. I feel they will be knocking at your door. Thank and God Bless. If you ever want to do a program on TV my station TV27 welcomes you as I know my viewers would be happy to watch you whatever kind of program you like to do. Thank you.
Good luck Mr. Brown. You are so right, we are only being told what they want us to hear.
I am so very proud of you for taking this bold step. Personally, I don’t watch the news any longer, except for the weather. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
God bless you for your convictions. You are such an example to all of us. Praying for you and your future.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will take care of you for your convictions!! May God bless you for your service to our community!!
What a loss for the Golden Triangle. Best wishes I have always enjoyed James’ weather report and his meat loaf
Good for you James! I have always known that the media has fueled and exploited the news. You are my Hero!
I admire Jim Brown for standing up for his beliefs, if I had his job, I probably would do the same thing. The news media is such a sham, biased reporting has gotten out of hand!
Good luck James, it’s good to know that there people in the media that still have character and a desire to report the news as best and fair as possible. Good for you!
Glad he stood his ground so when are the others going to start telling the truth
God bless you brother! You are absolutely correct and you are not alone! Sow the seeds-let your Light shine, and love all created in His image. I wish you great happiness.
That’s takes courage and a love for this country!!! I wish you the best James and thanks for speaking up on this injustice!!!
She needs to be fired!
He is doing what he feels is right for him. Surely, he has given much thought and prayer on such a life altering decision. God bless him going forward.
Way to go James. Your mother and dad would be proud!
Surely, he has put much thought and prayer into such a life altering decision. God bless him going forward.
True American!!!!! And he has done what other in the media need to do! Stand up for your beliefs and walk out!!!! I stand with Mr. Brown!! Need more like him in the media world these days.
Super proud of Mr Brown. More news people should do the same
Way to go Mr. Brown
So sorry to hear this he will surely be missed I love to watch him give the weather.He has a great personality.still miss seeing Kevin Steele never knew what happened to him. He was very well liked.
Glad to hear that James Brown I side with you
Way to go James
As an African-American Christian woman, I thank you, James Brown, for your courage in taking a stand against injustice.
God will take care of you; He always has something bigger and better for His beloved.
Wow😐
Your a stand up man. Thank you. Most wouldn’t stand up for their beliefs.
I totally agree with James Brown, I’m sorry he has resigned but I understand why… The news channels are inflaming the racial problems, I wish they would tell the complete truth, just one station I could believe would be so appreciated, just one unbiased news station, not so much to ask…. All Lives Matter no matter the color !!
I am so thankful that great people like u stand up for what is right. The only reason I continued to watch ch 12 was because u were on it. Not anymore… God bless u!
Sure loved watching James Brown. He will be missed.
Great that you stand up for your beliefs. The news media I believe is biased and has caused much of this conflict.
Praying for you to find a much better job. 🙏🏻
12 has gone to the can since our anchors were let go – then they put Garrison in as anchor. The editorial that she did is filled with her hate filled racist thoughts – and almost laughed at the notion ALL lives matter – her belief as she stated Only black lives matter. James Brown is such a man of integrity and I applaud him in doing what he did – standing up for what is right. Mr Steele that is also how you were on the station – integrity. Praying for James and his family. Shameful and disgusting to 12 and that so called anchor – she is filled with so much hate!
Bless you my Brother in Christ. It is good to know no one owns and dictates to you.
If 90% of the media is owned by Darkness, you are shining to dispel it. I join with others who will pray for you. This decision surely is one of the good works destined for your life. Our gracious God, loving Father & Savior will make a place for you and your gift & calling.
By faith, Dody Breaux’s daughter, Sheri

Majority of most elites in this country have become belligerent to the word of God out of shame of the associations that they keep.
Many with wealth are weak skinned to the mockery they face from their associations.
This is why every country under the son is turning away from the face of God.
With that these countries become like withering weeds in the desert and America will also fall by the wayside due to the ignorance of these SO-CALLED educated, wise, business and political leaders.
We as children of God must not cower to their ignorance but stand steadfast in the true word and not allow these idiots to shame us from our faith.
The Word of God is the most accurate prophecy on earth today yet, the fools of the past and present are too weak to lean not unto their own understanding.
I will FOLLOW TRUTH over ignorance of man with theories!!!

Good going James. I usually watch KBMT TV from 5-6 for the news. Thanks for pointing this out to us. Good Luck and God Bless.
God bless you, James Brown, for standing up for your Christian beliefs! The Lord will provide for you!
BRAVO JAMES BROWN!
THE NETWORK IS RACIST IN GLORIFYING BLM and NAACP which by their very names only promotes Blacks and Not the public as a whole.
Guests on noon show are predominately black and it’s time for a ” No Color Mentioned ” agenda in reporting news unless a Crime suspect needs to be identified by complete description, not just skin color.
The media is dividing this Country more and more each day. I agree that if and that is a big “if” you are going to cover any story that the person covering the story along with the station itself must remain bias and tell all sides. I have decided to quit watching channel 12 news due to this . I really hate that this happened because channel 12 has always been our go to for news.
So proud of him. I will NEVER watch kbmt tv news. I’m white, have family members black and my Mema is Cherokee Indian but what you allowed her to say without having 2 sides is against my beliefs and I’m done
Proud of him. Most and I mean most of the news slants heavy on the liberal side , which voices half truth. This is really only a lie. Search out the owners of your network and the investors, there’s your problem.
Im so upset by this. So many are working so hard to try and get back these cultural mountains, like Media and the Arts. I hate that we lost him to their stupidity. I wish there was something we could all do to fight back. I will be boycotting that station from now on.
So Proud of you for standing up for your beliefs and opinions.
You have always been a very open and straightforward news commentator and it is a side of you that we all feel blessed to know you even only through your profession career
Hope someone that appreciates you will pick you up on whatever station and job works for you.
Bless you James Brown
Even though I live in Houston I’m proud of Brown’s actions. I’m a retired reporter and am disgusted with the left, inaccurate news put forth today in most outlets. It appears that the news has become more commentary or the reporter’s own view point instead of news.
Thanks, James, for taking stand on you beliefs
God will honor this and bless you.
We are in Humble, now, but use to watch you, and have eaten at your restaurant in Vidor. I was Minister of Music at Maplecrest Baptist Church and we lived in Silsbee for 40+ years.
Thanks for you witness.

Then ‘Go’ !! You cannot explain what is happening as ‘hurt feelings of African Americans’ – this is not some name calling event where someone got their feelings hurt. These are lives being needlessly taken, murdered !! For how long and how many lives have to be lost while we turn our heads and look the other way !!!
Thank you Sir for standing up for your beliefs. You will be rewarded.
Good for you James Brown.
Thank you for being man enough to stand up for your
Beliefs and Values. God will bless you for standing up for
Right over wrong, and for Love o we Hate.
🙏✝️🙏
Congratulations to Mr. James Brown for your convictions and standing up for what you believe in. I wish other would take your lead. God Bless You and good luck at your next job.
So thankful for your stance in TRUTH! God will provide! Praying for you and your family! God Bless!
Good for you James! I was just singing that song the other day….red,yellow,black and white… we are all precious in his sight. You are a great man, James! Miss you in the old neighborhood!!!
God bless you, James! Have always enjoyed watching you! God will take care of you!
My HERO! GOD bless you.
What an honorable man. We need more like him in the media.
Anyone that stands for his convections is a good person
Good.
Congratulations to James Brown, for standing up to what is tearing this world apart! No more KBMT for me!
Thank you Mr. Brown. It is time every American, black, yellow, red, or white, does the same thing, and does whats right!!!
God bless you James , good for you. I stand and support your decision.
thank you for your STRONG stand against the propaganda agenda organized for political purposes only. May God Bless you and provide an even greater opportunity to earn an HONEST LIVING.
Good for you James Brown if more people felt this way we could get our beloved America back
This is a breath of fresh air to see someone in the news or in the media that has convictions about what’s right and wrong I salute you and I pray for you we don’t look to man too supply our needs we look to God and I’m sure no doubt that he will take care of you God bless you and thank you
Well done James. The world needs more like you.
God Bless you Mr. Brown.
Thank you for showing class and pointing out the agenda of media I pray you land on your feet.
Good for you. I’m so sick and tired of the media stirring up anger. Thanks for having courage and some you know to do this. Shame on the news stations for feeding the beast. The enemy comes to kill steal and destroy.
God is Smiling 😊
Well done my child that’s what God will say to you
I’m glad your did the right thing 12 news has went way down in my book only telling the part of the story they think you want to hear and the bad thing is that they are all doing it what happened to reporting the truth the only thing you can take as a half ass truth is the weather man and you see how often hes r iij ght
James, my few months at KFDM were better for having met you. Our family wishes yours the best going forward, but believe me when I say you’ve lost nothing in this move.
Thank you for having the guts to stand up for what is right. This is the problem all over the country, half truths are being told to push a slanted agenda…
Unfortunately so true ! News today is so biased toward destroying Trump it has no integrity. Being hypocritical is no problem. Just watch ABC morning show for the daily Trump bashing. Unfortunately that only leaves Fox that is palatable.
Proud of you for standing up for what you believe in. Always put God first. That is what is wrong with this country.
Thank You. Networks are throwing gas on a fire. All people are scared, at this point.
I no longer live in the area, but I had so much respect for him for many years. I totally agree with him. The Lord will provide for him. Know you will be missed.
Amen !
God will provide
God Bless you and Thank you for being a TRUE AMERICAN and standing for all , to make it better , with LOVE.
I admired this man..I totally agree with him and God will provide for him
I picked up on the bias long before coronovirus, but I loved the morning commentators. The ladies are great, and I was thrilled to see you, an old friend. God bless and keep you, and He will. He loves truth.
I think the biggest injustice is that a man called Donald Trump is being supported by some who call themselves Christians! So as for me the biggest arsonist is in the White House and those who support him! Whether the news is being bias or not on the “Truth” can set us Free! And I think 45 is not capable of telling the Truth! So Jame Brown if you choose to resign maybe a crusade to speak Truth against the lies perpetuated from the Highest Office in the land should be your next job and that’s what True Christians should be doing! Thank you!🙏🏾
He is right. We need more context to make our own judgment. It cant be one sided.
Good for you sir. No solutions from most groups just riot, steal, burn and spit hate.
Praying for you. It is going to take more reporters to getting back to reporting the news Not from the parent company point of view or reporting by Making everything ugly. God Bless you with another job where you are free to honest.
That’s good I think the news media is the evil of the people anyway they are the one that stir the pot No matter what the subject is
Great is he that follows god. Thanks for understanding.
Proud of James Brown for taking a stand for his beliefs. The news is biased and we stopped watching it. All it shows is the bad things that happen and it’s totally leftist based. As a Christian, I believe that the good outways the bad, and although bad things happen, God is still in control!
Good for him…I believe everyone matters…And BLM is getting way too much coverage. Tell the whole story and officers and other races being murdered by these thugs.. I guess channel 12 doesnt want to hurt their feelings..well I now watch channel 6…no more 12 for me
God bless you for standing up for what is right and your faith.
Bravo Sir
I am so proud of you for standing up for your Christian convictions, we need more people with backbone to do the same thing…. Congress could take a lesson from you … will miss you , don’t go to far ….
That’s a truthful man. So sad we lost him. I hope that his stance as an American and Christian is noticed by the company that employed him. I stand with him and know the whole truth is not reported. That the media is manipulated by the powers above them. America is waking up to not trusting the media. Remember that.
Finally, a man with enough backbone to stand up to the bias. Thank you, James for having something most people in the media do not have, including the local media. It is called integrity.
Finally, someone besides police officers take a stand & refuse to be a part of destroying America.
Thank you James. Listen to you from the day you started. We don’t live in Beaumont area anymore but still followed ya. Thank you for your statei, true to heart. God bless and God speed.
With all the concern over the pandemic and now the racial issue, we thoroughly agree with you. It would be so wonderful to watch the news and not have to here about racial injustice or co-vid 19. Sometimes I feel that both are a insult to my intelligence. Thank you for all your community service. God bless you.
Good for you Mr Brown❤️ It’s about time people wake up and realize the whole story’s aren’t being told! I for one have stopped watching the news for this very reason!!! If your going to report the news REPORT the whole issue not what just fuels fire and Hatred😡. Our wonderful country is going crazy and the whole world is watching us destroy ourselves!
Good for him! People need to stand up and stop this madness!!!!
Bravo and good wishes to you young man. Ive enjoyed you for years and will miss you terribly.
I support and respect your decision.
Up until today, I knew of the man who insists he “Feels Good” but beats all the women he says he loves while in drug (etc) induced rages.
It’s good to now re-associate that name with a GOD-fearing man who loves his fellow humans and truth and above that elevates the name of the Saviour!
BRAVO!!!! What a brave, courageous and honest man! We need more like him. I live in Austin and cannot watch local news. It sickens me that people watch lies and then believe them.
Thank you James Brown for truly standing for what you beleive. Not many do any more. God Bless you sir on whereever your new journey may take you.
Good for you! Good people should be taking a stand against this false reporting
Thank you for your courage and conviction to do what is right. Wishing you the best, as God provides for your future.
Mr. Brown I appauld you and thank you for standing up for what is right. I know you have with this station a very long time. May God bless and keep you and your family safe and healthy. Again, thank you. God’s got you covered. 🙏🙏🙏
Just another programmed and brainwashed conservative Christian…if he can’t see through the Trump con game…I wouldn’t suspect him of seeing the weather right either….so, Good Riddance!!!…If you think God has anything to do with that greed driven narcissist, you don’t need to be working anywhere that people need your opinion…especially on severe weather coming into your area that you might see as nothing more than weather that will make america great again…….
Wow biased much. He didn’t say anything about Trump in his letter so you can stop playing that game. You are just wanting to make it about your issues and just want to invite more hatred. Bless you. Move along.
Praise God for a good man standing up for what is important for our great country. God bless you! I pray that all your needs will be provided from His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus. Your stand gives the rest of us hope… thank you.
I stand with James Brown. It is ashane that you all allow such hatred. You fuel the fire. It is totally unethical. You are losing viewers over this. She should be let go of instead of accepting James Browns resignation. I will not be watching 12 news anymore. Shame on you
It’s about time someone in the media realm developed a conscience!!!
He has my applause and support!!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEGRITY.
Congratulations Mr. Brown for standing on your convictions. In this day and age you are a rarity and should be greatly commended. I will pray for you and that you find employment rapidly, if that is your desire. Thank you for standing firm.
God Bless him for standing up for all Americans that feel the same way about the news media.
Brown is correct! To be a Christian is to comply with authority even though our address is with the Lord and not of this world we are told to live in this world without violence according to the Lord. Read Rom 12 & 13. If those luters say that they are believers, they are not followers of Christ.
I never knew he had that much character. My hat goes off to him for standing up to the fake media.
I stand with you James.
I totally agree with him. I honestly believe that the media is what is wrong in this whole black on white story. They just add fuel to the fire everyday!! God Bless America whatever color you are.
I am with you on your conviction. You are to be applauded. Stay true to yourself. I will keep you in our prayers.
I commend Mr Brown on what he believes. I pray he finds another job. The public depends on the new reporter to report the news exactly as it happened. There are some things that cannot be reported because of maybe an investigation. Thank you Mr Brown for your stand on what you believe.
Thanks for being a stand-up person. Believing in what’s right!
I respect your decision but am sorry to see you go. You were away from the news for a long time and doing other things, and I was happy when you returned. A lot of us are tired of the news not being discussed on both sides of issues and the injustices being done to all of us and love America. Thank you for being you.
FINALLY, and importantly, someone has PEACEFULLY stood up and been convicted of of his core beliefs. My hat is off to you , Mr. Brown.
You are truly a class individual that believes in the whole truth, and can’t be bought.
I just deleted Channel 12news 1 like Patrick Vaughan but I agree with James Brown and Kevin Steele
Praise the Lord! An honest news man! Thank you, sir, for maintaining your dignity and not lying to please the left wing! Thank you!
I applaud you James Brown. I have quit watching local news because of the obvious bias. It makes me want to vomit.
He is so right!!! For in God’s eyes and through the blood of Jesus their is only one color Red the blood !!!! Jesus said to Love everyone!!! Great job James never back down are away in your beliefs!!! God is the truth the way and the light !!! God bless
Courageous man. God bless you!!
Thank You for standing up for Godly principles. Just can’t understand why the media blatantly shows only the side that is biased and “so-called” politically correct! Why can’t the news just be the news…?
Good man. Principles matter. All our news agencies should tell the whole story or none at all, and go back to real journalistic principles. They’re not there to be the news or to judge anything (that’s for op/ed), but to honestly and neutrally report the facts – and not just their own opinions.
NOTE – I am not taking a swipe at this particular news station; I don’t get to watch their broadcasts; this is about all media in general.
Hope all goes well with you, Mr. Brown.
Thank you for seeing what so many of us see and being willing to just say NO. Hopefully there are more good people in news that will follow your lead.
God will reward this man and punish those who choose to hide the truth. I don’t know him but I’m proud of him for taking a stand!
That is one of the most stand up things I have heard in a long time. If all people would think and act as this man is. Part if not all of this would stop. A big Amen for him.
Powerful convictions ! Congratulations for your courage!
Good for him. News stations need to stop trying to tell us what to believe and just report the facts, and nothing but the facts. And yes, I mean all of the facts not just what you think is important.
We are proud of you James! Best of luck. We will miss you.
Thanks for stanting up for you morals and what is right.
Proud of you!!!
Thank God somebody with character finally stands up to this left wing, biased, hate filled news. God is watching and listening to this so called reporting and He alone is capable of settling this hate and decision. My prayers are with you and the TRUTH! Clark A. Mahonet
Good for you James Brown. It’s become VERY evident of the bias on our local news channels. They best back off or their ratings will plummet. Thank you James for being a good Christian and patriot.
I commend him for taking the high road. May you find peace in your next endeavor. Thank you for bringing honesty to the forefront.
Thank GOD there is still a man who will STAND UP for his own and American’s principles instead of just letting bias and corruption have its way. What is happening right now is a travesty and a disgrace to our forefathers and the principals this Country was built on.
Proud you are standing up for your beliefs! I hope we will start seeing more of that and I pray he will find a new job quickly and that God will bless him mightily!!
Bravo Sir
My jaw hit the floor while reading this. Finally, someone standing up and doing the right thing. You, sir, are the epitome of what all Americans should strive for. Honesty.
Praying for you, James Brown. We admire you standing for your convictions. God bless you, praying God supplies much better employment than from what you are leaving.
Sounds like a even handed, thoughtful American. Which makes him almost unique in this day and age.
So true
Blessings to u James 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Best of luck in your new adventure as God leads u.
We now live in Lufkin & have for the last 20 years.
Elizabeth & Charlie Rhame
So proud of Mr. Brown for standing up for what HE believes in . We will not longer watch KBMT TV .
Mr. Brown, you are one in a million. I am so very proud to call you a true American. GOD Bless you now and always.
Good for you. I admire your commitment to your faith and integrity!!
Amen! I believe that a large percent of America feels the same way. The media, and left wing organizations do not want this hatred to stop! They will fan the flames as long as they can! James, I am with you 100% ! God’s speed.
Thank you for following your convictions. This took bravery angel and courage. More people should follow theirs. Most of toots would end if they were not being getting the publicity
I’m so sorry about this … I hate to see you go James all you good guys are going … I’m out of 12 news now.. praying for you a better place.. Bless you.. ♥️
I’m surprised this has made the news !
Way to go. It is good to see someone stand up for what is right. We need the truth without all the bias. Thank You.
Wish more people would stand up for their convictions.
Good for him !!!! It is way past time for us to stand against the liberal biased so called news reports they do !! They only report what liberal democrats want reported , nothing more than puppets in these news rooms , certainly not Journalist anymore !!!! We only have one news service anymore and the Democrats work tirelessly to get rid of them !!!
Love you James Brown and appreciate all the benefit you have brought to SE Texas. Unfortunate that Justice and Responsibility are being attacked, once again, by those who are unjust and irresponsible. Grace & Peace to you, our city and our nation. God, help us!
Thank you sir for acting on your convictions. God will honor that and we know He has something better for you!
Thank God for strong, dedicated Christians like him who are willing to stand up for what is right and walk away from what is wrong. These liberal news stations are constantly stirring the pot and stoking the fire, and this great country cannot stay great much longer, thanks to all the divisiveness they are causing. God WILL bless Mr. Brown for his faithfulness to Him.
He is a true Christian that knows and understand the word of God the bible says avoid evil so thats what he’s DC o in ng, lieing is evil thank you Brown
Glad someone is taking a stand!
Sorry Mr. Brown feels the way he does, but I strongly disagree with him, because he will never and I mean never understand the hurt and pain we feel as African Americans. Because if felt one ounce of our pain as a race, he would not have left his job or been offered by the truths his coworker spoke. Really it shows me Mr. Browns true colors or what is in his heart. Really I feel what’s truly going on with Mr. Brown and many like him is that what happen with Mr. Floyd is causing Mr. Brown and so many others like him to look in the mirror and see there true self’s.
I am so proud of this amazing Christian man. It takes someone very devout to stand up for his beliefs. God bless you.
Kudos…….Mr. Brown
God bless you James, I watched you many years on Channel 6 have always been a fan, thank you for being a true Patriot and stand your ground.
We are Christian
And we have to be
The example
God will provide
Job x U we don’t
Depend on man
God continue
Blessing you.
I respect your decision and the fact you are willing to voice your opinion as well as confessing your faith. May God guide you as you go forward in searching for a job or whatever you plan to do. Blessings to you and thank you.
God bless you richly beloved! Thank you for heeding your conviction & taking a stand for God and Country!
James, years ago you came to our small church and preached. I am glad you are standing by your convictions in Christ.
I’ll right away seize your rss feed as I can not find

Do you have any? Please let me recognize in order that I may

I absolutely loved every little bit of it. I’ve got you book-marked to look at
new stuff you Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but
I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Further to James’ point, whatever happened to objective reporting instead of reporting with a personal/corporate bias. Why can’t we just hear and see the facts in as unbiased a manner as possible, and let us draw our own conclusions. New programs are no longer news… they are all giving us “Their” narrative according to “Their” values. Doesn’t matter whether it’s CNN or Fox News. Both are equally biased in their reporting of just about anything that has a political tie. STOP, STOP, STOP. Somebody please develop a new agency that is committed to reporting facts, and I believe that their viewership will be off the charts.
Stand strong in your beliefs and convictions! God will bless you for it!!

In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did,
the net will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.
