Kenya media covered the incident in the most professional,decent and respectfully manner.
The did spread our screens and our streets with pictures of burned and dead bodies.Can the west media learn from us.....of course they dont display their own but the if its in Africa they will display them all over.Thank you kenyans

I dont understand, are you being sacarstic or really praising them?
If its praise, I think you are mistaken. I was unable to even eat after some clips I saw in KTN and citizen yesterday from 3pm. They were showing women crying from pain with their burnt skin hanging from their bodies. It was very traumatising.

And have you seen the front-page picture on "The Star" today?
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

I feel you. Much as I like how they brought us up to speed on the Sinai incident, some sensistivity is necessary.

I will never forget the day (was in 2010 Christmas holidays) when KTN brought footage of a three women being sexually molested by beachboys in Mombasa. You could tell exactly who was being molested and by whom and it was at lunch time. I wonder what the dad/brother/child to one scared woman who was most recognisavle felt like seeing that on TV and how the woman would feel to know it was all played on national TV.

Was watching Aljazzeera last night. They gave a warning that the scene contained dead bodies. Switched off immediately.

I avoided the thread thinking that this was actual praise till curiosity made me open it, kenyans stations must adopt delayed signals to such incidences!!

some media houses report 87 killed, other 100, others 75...If i were in their shoes, wanting to be as accurate as possible,I would pick the lowest figure of fatalities and say:AT LEAST 75 KILLED

then again huge figures generate shock and keep interest and sales going...Sad
