http://www.standardmedia...0043219&cid=418& The headline reads:"Oil tanker explodes killing dozens" The story's body starts thus:"Police say at least three people have been confirmed dead " Question: do 3 people make up "dozens" or is it sensationalism?
I care!

Boss.... wachana na hii watu. You are better off watching Vioja Mahakamani. I read somewhere that they had been fined by the media council for erroneous reporting on Muthaura.

Standard newspaper is a tabloid, they sensationalize stories and that's what makes it easy for nation to claim 'the truth' as their platform.
BBI will solve it :)

Saa hii ndio mnajua? That paper was lost long before it was started. Never forgave them after 07/08. Afadhali nation 20 times hata kama wame egemea upande wa mtu fulani since wangethi left. Bt wako sober as compared to standard...ehe, standards

All of them sucks. Nation not any much better than Star or Standard. I only buy weekend editions to while away time. Read the thread "Kenyan Newspapers are LOUSY! http://www.wazua.co.ke/f...aspx?g=posts&t=10620

Agreed @Tebes, some people simply hate standard for personal reasons, otherwise kenyan newspapers all almost all the same in terms of quality journalism!!!!
