@VVS, I second you on that. There's a lot of crap and crap and when there's no crap there's more crap. I think the focus of all these journalists/editors is to fill up the newspaper pages, maybe for advertising sake. Another reason could be they are paid for the number of words their articles have. Reminds me of sometime we used to do research in some slums way back. It reached a point guys started filling the questionnaires themselves instead of interviewing the dwellers. All this because we were being paid per questionnaire.

I stopped buying papers when,once, the Nation had a headline of something I really wanted to know. So I buy it and guess what, they give a small intro then say the story will be the next day!!!! My long term love affair with the paper ended pap! Now I am content reading the headlines from the vendor on the highway... Anyway, if you watch Kenyan news channels, listen to radio and read the paper, you realise that there is only one editor who writes everything in Kenya who leaves you more depressed than before. I prefer listening to news on radio, though. It is over in 5 minutes flat and you move on to music.

heheheheee.. you havent seen a paper from Zambia, Zimbabwe or Malawi.... you'd cry... And their journalists(well, the ones i met in Zambia) giggling at the back of the hall when the VP is talking.... But its sad where we are headed..... may be in some few years, we shall be giving the above a run for their 'class'!

Just confimed that The Standard website has been hacked. And these are the same guys who were making noise when the police site was brought down. By the way even that one is not up yet

Do these people have editors working for them? Ama the've been engrossed in the valentine spirit? Check Standard Online edition. Look at the topic. Then as you read on, there is a clear disconnect from the topic as early as the 3rd paragraph onwards. http://www.standardmedia...000028466&cid=4&
