I think media is a mirror and if you rather, a reflection of society. I was watching NTV Press Pass by Mark Masai and they had statistics and data of what people are reading and is easy to mine from online content. Politics comes first followed by gossip then finance and life matters come way down. When we look at the most popular threads in Wazua Club, gossip and politics are way up there as well. One of the panelist even implied that no media would survive donor free if it did not air politics and some obscenity. This is what the society demands.


But even if our society isn't without blemish, shouldn't the media be better than that? The media should set the right agendas to the public. But who am I kidding, its all about the money and market share!

That's a lie they are too willing to perpetrate and perpetuate.

Politics is the cheapest news anyone can do. They are too lazy and dumb to give better news/topics.

The society doesn't demand those, the media pushes them down our [the majority] throats.

very appropriate so that you can start those uncomfortable discussions that parents hide under the carpet until your daughter comes home pregnant.
TOTO: daddy Trust ni nini
DAD: Ni condom
TOTO: Condom nia kazi gani?
DAD: Ni y wababa kuvaa saa ile wanafanya tabia mbaya
TOTO: Wanavaa wapi?
DAD:Wacha maswali mingi
TOTO: sawa. ....lakini daddy wewe hufanyangi tabia mbaya si ndio?

Where is this online data they are talking about? Using Nation and Standard is not "online data".

Mkeiy you are right....These fellows want to spread an non-fact and make it fact.

I have data that proves them absolutely wrong. Data that shows the reason why their brethren papers in the USA are dying.

I have data that proves that talking politics and gossip only is the cheapest news and infact makes less money that talking serious issues. But what do I know I'm a mere blogger they are janalists.

They know who is having more sex and it's the young ones, so what they are doing is targeting those young ones, between 9-23 these are having so much sex hence those adverts. ( disclaimer -my two cents)

I'm getting really pissed of with the Trust Condom ads coming before 9am. Is this appropriate especially for those families with young kids? This is also the time when family friendly programming is aired only for them to air condom ads



it's actually decent to air such ads during prime time, so that both parents and kids can see the importance .

That there is the bottom line. And you make money by selling to people what they demand. The sad thing is that this cartel controls information and I call them a cartel because they managed to conveniently come together and give CORD's 7/7 that black out. But luckily we have the internet that they can never control... yet.

BBI will solve it :)

Dont see any problem.

Condoms are a health issue not a moral issue. They are advertising Condoms, not sex.
Life is short. Live passionately.
