They say if you don’t watch the news, you are uninformed. If you do, you are misinformed.
The modern media is nothing but a propaganda machine out to brainwash the masses.
Instead of spending half an hour, or an entire hour, consuming curated bulletins, read a book and improve your vocabulary. Do some push-ups. Learn a foreign language on YouTube. Learn how to play an instrument. Polish your skills.
20 years of no news for me. Its all opinionated, pushed to force you into a certain narrative. Niliona wasee wakipigania kuwatch matanga ya Moi nilishangaa sana.
Huko maiyolo local news huwa dominated by the F.I.R.E industry:- Finance,Insurance,Real Estate. It’s so subtle that you can’t point it out but most say 80% of daily news is selling people fear/products chini ya maji.

“Free to air” is a big joke. All those news broadcasts huwa one huge advertisement . Hehe, ati business news today brought to you by bank X.
Most news just like church plays with emotions za victims/viewers…anger, fear, hope etc
That’s why your favorite politician will lie to you in your face how they have the future (they know nothing about) all figured out …and you believe/trust them.
Hio show huwa scripted mbaya mbovu upto what they wear. Do you know colours can affect your emotions subconciously ? Watch out for the red dresses and colour blue. There’s a reason why all police worldwide huvaa a shade of blue ,and why fast food restaurants like the colour red…

And here I was thinking that wewe everyday unawatch 3hours of cnn then you add another 3 hours of bbc halafu top up na 3 hours of dw. Halafu you wind up the day with 3 hours of citizen news.
