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!

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 :)

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