Heck! when shall we hear the inspiring story of that widow who is single-handedly raising five children by hawking milk and kienyeji chicken at Isinya market after walking all the way from Isajiloni…
The news nowadays is full of apologism for either side of the political divide (depending on which station you land on) and sensationalist dung. No fact-checking, shallow content and pure ignorance at times. Heri hata ktalk unapata live updates of real time events. Nikiweka news nione zile opening headlines narudishia mtoi cartoons. Hata ile gazeti tuliletewa hapa DMCA notice tulikuwa tunawafanyia favour kuisoma bure
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
—John Mayer, Waiting on the world to change.
Tafakari hayo.
i am one of those unfortunate souls who have to be away from their families most of the time for economic reasons…not a tv person at all but turn it on just to know what’s happening around…
The reason why Obama skilfully avoided local media except for that Capital FM interview. The same with politicians, he only had kind words for those impacting positively on society, eg Josephine Kulei.
But the real tragedy is inspiring stories don’t make newspaper sales, politics does.
The real problem lies with the half cooked retards we call journalists in this country. Its a sorrt state when u expect O level chieth think and shovel their stupidity down the collective throats of a whole nation. Infact, if you ever watched a live commentary by any of the mwdia house OB , you may be sorry that we breath the same air. Just because you hold a microphone does not in itself transform a D- into a schooled and knoledgeable forth estate fellow. Times i feel like spitting in a very spitefuly way.
Honestly, just listen to them when its not scripted. Live. Like kesho during the fete when the Anchor throws it at the field hogs. You would be forgiven for thinking English is Allien gibberish and Thinking or Reasoning is outlawed. Its so sad.
i think that is a misplaced assumption…there was always this talk that kenyans are not interested in agriculture stories…seeds of gold launched ikachangamkiwa aje…to a point where every other media has a farming section or program…
