In May 2013, Brown-Burke tweeted denunciations of Television Jamaica's All Angles and CVM TV's Direct for respectively inviting JLP leader Andrew Holness and opposition spokesman on finance and planning Audley Shaw as guests, without including PNP members for balance.[5] She was criticised for her use of the minced oath "What the F", and apologised for her language and deleted the tweet while defending the views she had expressed.[6]
