That is not journalism, that is stealing.
Your beef with Moha on the other hand is comedy fodder to me.
But lazy journalism affects all our lives and ntv should be ashamed of themselves. Reminds me of Caroline Mutoko copying content and passing it off as her own.
I hope you can understand that.
You impute motive without fact.
Can you for
a fact rule out a collaboration between the two media houses?
Oh, that one I can.Dennis Okari took that video from CNN youtube and translated it to kiswahili. At 9pm, he will translate it from Kiswahili to english. Kind of what Harrydre.
What happened here was not a moha beat down, it was an example of how our Kenyan media has become lazy. Even quoting "foreign" media houses when they are standing next to each other at westgate.
Very bad.
Even the editing of that clip had a section where Okari made a statement, coughed, said take 2 and repeated the same statement. Didn't they even have time to edit such mediocrity?
I have no problem with scoops. But I have a problem with laziness.
What you have done is:
1. Assume only CNN could have had access to this video and even if they did, that they did not subsequently avail it to third parties for use post their exclusive release. This is not a fact you can prove as media houses do have collaboration agreements.
2. Offer an armchair view of how plagurism by NTV could have been carried out. That is not a fact, it is a theory.
BTW: If Moha plays the same video in his high pitch voice for whose captured events are static in fact, will you say he also translated the same from CNN?
Where we can agree is that our media can do a lot better. ABC Place was attacked by 7 or so armed men last week and I don't see this or the expected nature of coverage in the Kenyan media.
