Ngalaka, how is anyone prejudiced. What information did you want that you dont have? And what was newsworthy there?

Kudos to them and they should concentrate more on pressing issues like plight of IDP's and other things.

The middle class is finally acting?

What I don't get is why KTN's bulletin at 9PM lasts 1 hour 10 minutes; I started finding the crud filled news tiresome and most of the time I don't bother at all.
But if the networks are beginning to cut political cr*p out of the screens, I applaud.

It's a bit of a catch 22. Sometimes I wish they'd just totally black out some people and some stories. Sometimes I wish someone would just gag the media, they can be SO irresponsible!! But..

If a media house blacks out one group, they're showing partiality, period. If something is happening in our country, it is and must be news.

I don't think Kenyans truly get that media houses CHOOSE the news. They decide what stories to feature and what pages the stories go on. They choose the pictures and word things certain ways to invoke certain emotions. They are PARTIAL even when they're pretending to be unbiased.

Why is it that the same Nation newspaper that was Ruto, Ruto, Ruto, Ruto, Ocampo Six, Hague, Raila, every single day suddenly decides "Kenyans don't need more politics." And of course Kenyans applaud and say "Nation you have spoken." The gullibility is appalling.

The oxygen of puiblicity is what keeps the mpigs opening their mlouths. The only way to shut them is to reduce their oxygen.
I'd like to believe good Kenyans want to see justice done, the empty celebrations of emptyheads flying back on an aeroplane are of zero interest.

Kudos NTV, no weonder I've held NMG shares for almost 7years now.

So Nation Media Group finally does something sensible and the pitch-folks are out for them!! Totally with Nation Media Group there. Hope the others follow suit and black out all Kenyan politicians unless they are talking about development and governance issues.

@waridi1 if Nation Media Group sees the light then we can only try and thrive in it. They can`t shy from change just because it is not what they have always done. That is why it is change.

@ocampo you can have DSTV and all the other acronyms but if you want local news on tv then you have to watch the local channels. So how will having DSTV help you there? In any event a good number of people actually watch the Kenyan channels on DSTV.

@mkonomptupu the sob stories are about our fellow Kenyans. Those who are either screwed up by a non-functioning system or have problems that we are lucky not to have. The fact that they believe the government should help them out is a failure in our society to enlighten them on the functions of the government and of course their rights and obligations. And if it is an area I can help in my small little way despite my problems then why not? And what is wrong in KPLC asking people to use energy saving bulb so as to cut down on wastage? In any event KPLC just distributes power they do not generate it.

So it was not when they whipped dry the dispute over the venue the previous day, what a news team covering the sixs tribulations at the hague, the hooligans that threw stones at makongeni? I have read and respected nation media for a long time for their impartiality but now am not so sure.

Nation Newspapers , you are doing a good job , I know there are some Nation journalists in this forum.

Endeleeni hivyo hivyo . A full black out for the Hague suspects is in good order.Wacheni gutter press iendelee ku whip up mass emotions .Atleast Nation , you will have a clear conscience should anything arising from irresponsible media happen

................And thats precisely why they exhaustively covered The Hague pre-trials.

The lies at uhuru park "prayers", in their considered opinion, were not newsworthy. For me this was a good thing. "NATION" endeleeni hivo hivo..........
