After realising that kenyan TV news is just about- Politician A said,politian B responded,Politician C said etc.... I decided to give news a wide berth and instead keep myself entertained with other DSTV channels...i have made it for a month and realised i have missed nothing at all,really!

i envy you buddy. to hit the nail on the head,our journalists are just pathetically lazy and their profession is a disgrace. they will manufacture rubbish,wrap it in silk and sell to our gullible masses as news. if moi tells peasants to plant more sukuma coz the rains are near,that 'news' to our pea brain media! what an insult to our intelligence! yes,i concede kenyans are crazy about politics,but the media should dictate what politics is progressive to the nation. i bet we could do with more financial,environmental and social items rather than shoving garbage crap down our throats. i salute k24 for their news about real issues and real people although they still have some way to go!

@kazee

I had similar frustration in 2001. Jan '02 I sold my TV and the then 'video machine'.
Started doing time reading stuff.
8 years later (today) don't have a TV. Got married,got kids... still no TV.
Folks/friends say niko mshamba... still no TV.
Travels a bit and puts up in hotel rooms with TV - nothing interesting.

I catch news on internet,newspaper and watchie in the office.

Recently a large pimple has grown on my cheek. Could it be as a result of not watching TV for 8 yrs?

i also think kenya news are full of crap but Wa P a tv is important in information and knowledge especially when kids watch the right programs. otherwise the kids are going to be a little 'behind' compared to others. you are well updated using Internet and papers do you provide the same to your wife and kids..hope so.

You missed a lot.....I see nothing to be proud of in your fete!!!!

@ Wa P. I believe we sail in the same boat when it comes to not watching local news,but not having a TV for the last 8 years!!!! your house must be damn boring.

are you sure kids don''t watch TV kwa neighbour? you are living in denial

Wa P,fear not you are in good company. I remember making a decision in campus that i'll never own a TV. Been 8 years now. My issue is not with news specifically but TV programming in general.. 90% of TV from whatever source... is FAKE. You watch what is fake you slowly become fake. No wonder there are soo many posers amongst us.... are you a poser/actor FAKE?

I saw this post and was happy that I share the same ideals. I have not watched news from the campain periods in 2007 and am not ready to start watching again anytime soon. I also stopped buying newspapers around the same time.

Once in a while I find myself foced to watch news in a few clubs which make it compulsory for their patrons to watch news but trust me I never go back to those clubs. One such club is Taidy's @ Nrb west. They forced us to watch news over football,they lost us as customers since.

Just go back to 2007 remember what was being shown as news,go home this evening and watch the news. Compare and ask yourself what has changed from that day. What information have you gotten from news in that period.

News makes Kenya seem to be a country by politicians for politicians. No one else is important or has important view on anything.

Why do clubs make customers watch news?

@ TRS

moto moto

Funny movie that was

@ kazee

Not all news is politics... although you are better off than wa P...eight years....there is family TV and many other good family programs on the other channels...

I don't think if you have a small problem with something you remove the whole thing ....
