@ tamphhhh.......,sorry Obi,I harbour no rage,just genuine distaste for Kenyan journalism. And I have relatives and friends in this trade too.
Who is a journalist and what is journalism? Do you mean to say that some of the editors are accountants or matatu drivers or that they hired based on horizontal competence rather than the relevant skills,knowledge and attitude.

So presenters are supposed to be like flowers? mwathani!!

Even if you insist,it means the entire background teams are incompetent or they are too busy turning each other on to realise that their work has become gonzo. While many including myself would appreciate the need for eclectic approaches in news and other media production,what is apparent in Kenya is an unacceptable level of carelessness,incompetence and shenanegans.
The point is already across,if you read the strings below. Kama huwezi kuelewa tunachomaanisha,huenda wewe ni mmoja wa hao wanahabari duni ambao wamekuwa kikwazo kikubwa kwa uimarishaji wa sekta hii.

@ tea hostage,
Every TV station in Kenya maybe except Family rides on political patronage,so their statements commentary and even news coverage on certain persons are always aligned towards some political objective. Two are particularly extreme while some like NTV are mixed and you may detect some pseudo-objectivity but in extreme times,they usually succumb.
So excuse that mzungu-albino. Only wish someone would comment on why he was fired from that Turner’s C** network using the same style he commented on the Arsenal fan (and the PM),who these same fools want us to believe committed suicide because of a football march result.

But for you to have picked up the ethnicity of the two victims of Jeff's punchy style,you are either very sharp,or you represent the opposite of the ex-chief’s son. Same coin.





Everyday!

Eazy my brother/sister,No pun intended in the contortion of your screen name. If I do that with your real name I owe you an explanation,a cheek for your slap and a beer afterwards.

You have my apologies,if it offends you.




Everyday!

I'm always dumbfounded by most of the so-called journalists' utter disregard of integrity and objectivity.Their computations,especially currency conversions are a joke.
For stories providing for comments on the net,do what i always do,blast the damn pen-handlers.
The moment our media houses started going for 'celebs'[my foot] to be presenters,is the day journalism was laid to rest.They've no clue about world affairs,no hint on world economies and they just don't care about politics or any music done before year 2,000.In short,limited knowledge.From the informers to the masses.
For a start,let's all BLAST them with sheer ruthlessness.

When i see my purple,you see it not.

My learned friend Spendthrift,We are learners of this stuff called English. When I am herding my goats I read the paper and I can understand what you mean. They eat the paper when am almost done thou. That's why am not good either.
But I have a question for you,
Do we say,Kenya representative in Washington DC or do we say Kenyan representative in Washington DC.
Do we say Kenya Journalists or Kenyan Journalists.
Example,America is the country,American is a native of America.( Americans are natives of America)
Kenya is the country....Kenyan is a native of Kenya.( one person)
Saying Kenyan Journalists,are we repeating something here?
I don't know,maybe is the arrowroot I ate this morning.
Check,in a conference in China the announcer will say,
'Kenya Journalists,can you all stand up' not 'Kenyan journalists can you all stand up'.
Am a farmer,I might be wrong but check with these English Folks.
They might say Kenyan is singular but pointing to one character. ....the Great Kenyan runner and the Great Kenya runners.
I see more mistakes on your writing but I wanted to discuss the Heading.
Mkulima and the broken English stories

My fellow citizens lets work hard so that every house will have a meal on the TableMkulima

The Standard online has a story about the cost of the bloated cabinet that defies logic. Is it that the media fraternity are too thick to comprehend numbers or do they simply don't care about what they write as long as they can quote someone.

Now granted the Mpigs and Coalition of thieves are fleecing the country but to claim that the incremental cost is 50B is plain stupid.

Assuming they base the right number of ministries at 20,then you would have 20 additional ministries,so added cost per ministry is 2.5B,

They then go on to list the additional expenses as fuel guzzling cars and drivers and body guards. Surely how does this expenditure add up to 2.5B. To me the 50B is at the very least 100times overstated,how can the journalist and the editor miss that,how do the directors (including McFee) miss that when reading their copies the next day so they can appreciate the poor quality control in the business.

Mwalimu Mati also went on to state they way that amount can construct 10 Dual carriageways blah.. blah.


I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.
