This is akin to somebody who intentionally sets your house on fire, then hurries back to help you remove the barrels of petroleum that "might catch fire". Thanks but no thanks. <BR/><BR/>Suffice it to say that the mainstream media started failing Kenyans long before the ballot. It was clear that objective, fair and balanced reporting (or at least an attempt to reach it) was chucked out of the window in the period during and after the referendum.<BR/>So, tough luck for Kenyans. I for one prefer to read blogs. Somehow, there'll always be a blogger somewhere who is able to hit the nail on the head.<BR/><BR/>P.S. what's with the changes at Standard?
