@Wendz - much as I found it hard to understand,I;d surmise one of two things 1)those people were opportunists - waiting for talks of compensation to start 2)they were sent there to show how the government is making people suffer,violating their rights,on account of mau conservation issues (almost the opposite of Potemkin Villages - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potemkin_village).


One other story showed G Moi and N Salat talking on the mau issue and siding with the people.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

It is good that many people are not falling to the manipulations of politicians and media houses. Some one must have been very angry about the story and called the media house (the wenyewe).

KTN and Standard also have their good side but the editorial is not independent of politicians and especially it's owners. For such a media house,we must use our brains as we watch and read their news as is the case with others.


KTN will never publish any scandal where former president Moi and his son Gideon were involved. Nothig negative about the two. They can only highlight positive things or highlight denials when other media has reported negative things.

If Gideon will be running for the top seat in 2012,woo to Raila if he will also be running. This media house will karanga him like you have never seen before.

KTN is rarely Impartial. they use terms like hardline when refering to PNU's stand on something.

Rules of the game here: Before you post anything think.give facts only..It's a serious blog for serious people....Do not insult your brother....respect one another...Just be good.... It's good to live a honest life....life without guilt....

@ fundaah

failing to watch ktn is far from getting a solution...

i watch ktn and the rest and i concur @ thimioni that they are dishonest to themselves coz we the viewers knows when they go astray....

When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly....

@Fundaah,

Almost every media house has been discussed here. Weaknesses and strengths of each have been highlighted. This discussion was about the mau and how the reporter appeared to do quite some good work only for some comments latter that elicited some suspicion. There are many issues highlighted by the media form social,health,governance,politics,sports etc.

Contributors have discussed their general feeling on this particular media house on political issues. You are free to voice your opinion on this media house or any other.

Please let the people evaluate all the media houses including KTN. Who knows,SK may influence the way Journalists in Kenya carry on with their profession. But we will continue using our remotes to sample all stations and when we feel cheated,we will say it here.

What KTN reports is mostly if not always twisted,but poking fun at those squatters is plain lame.
