Looking at the Standard Headline today "Ruling stuns PNU but excites ODM" has left me wondering. Why does the newspaper always classify Kenyans as ODM and PNU? We have alot of Kenyans who do not fall in those categories!

What about more nationalistic classifications like the poor vs the rich, the politicians ordinary wananchi ?

I think consciously the standard Newspaper is sowing the seed of discord! To the paper exciting news is when Kenyans are at war with each other, fighting each other, shouting at each other and not anything positive.

The standard are not alone, it's all the media houses, sample this from NTV:

PNU's anger, ODM's joy

SGL played a big role in the PEV not to mention the fact that the paper is an official gutter press.

The content on monday is 'Manifest Nonsense' not to mention that the editorial team dont deserve the tag editorial.

The paper is not worth 'kufunga nyama' its better of as a flying toilet.

What quality of training do journalists get in Kenya? You and I can also guess the kind of salaries they earn that leads to topping up with kick-backs mainly from politicians.

@TAZ

The only thing that used to make me read Standard was 'It's Madd Madd World'. So, today, I have no reason of touching the paper. Even the butcher man knows not to wrap the meat with that thing.

These guys are so thick they will announce an SNG share rise but never mention a drop. This is an indicator they have been propping the share price on a weekly basis to impress the majority shareholder who knows little about the stock market.

SNG still pays rent on some floors in I&M although they have all the space they require on Mombasa rd. Seen them advertise the I&M office space as if they have become property managers.

Truth, SNG made a rental contract with I&M building management I suspect upto 2012 if not 2014. They thus have to pay rent for space they don't require.

But I wish them well as without them, NMG would not have the spirited competition they get from SNG. I plan to start watching KTN cauze I need to be objective on media houses. But for the paper, not so soon.

The Standard newspaper isn't objective at all. Its so easy to detect bias in their presentation of news!!!!!!!! They have a tendency to make news of national importance to be divisive, basically due to their presentation.

Kwanza that idea of sports news being upside down was just pathetic. PATHETIC. Not to mention that they have a chief strategist.
