Let me tell you this I have never once said that The Standard is objective all I am saying is that The Nation has been PNU's mouthpiece since the months leading upto the elections and in fact I blame them for the ethnic violence that occurred. I mean while I was there in December this stuff was so blatant, employing tactics like making a headline that asserts an opinion....and then putting a question mark at the end.....Standard was playing fair during that period, complete and utter non-bias.
Now nation has toned it down but the damage is done Kenyans don't trust them and I would love to see their 2008 earnings.

I think this is a glass-empty vs glass-full kind of situation. I wish we had other sources of information other than the news media to go by. Like I said, every news organization has an editorial policy, and that is reflected on the tone and content of its new articles.

Unfortunately, it's not often that you come across journalists who are completely free of political (or ethnic) bias. That leaves the reader to interpret the content of the articles and make their own conclusions. Some readers are smart, others are not. And that's where media influence comes in.

I agree but check your PM.

Mazee that page is so slow that whenever I try to open it to see the slant on a BIG story, I will go feed my dogs, make coffee do laundry (plus drying) comeback and the **** is still loading up (I swear).

whats wrong with u?it takes long to open coz of overload,when everybody s trying to read it

Now I did not say Nation Media Group buddy so hold your horses, they are the mother company of daily nation and sunday nation. Those are the ailing parts of the company, don't accuse me of lying if you cannot read into the obvious.

You are very funny but also tech-challenged, it has always been that slow because of no upgrade for increased capacity. Do you see cnn.com or bbc.co.uk with that problem? And what do you think their traffic is like genius?
They do not upgrade because the bigwigs are not giving them the funds. They can bearly handle declining hardcopy sales, do you think they give a s**t about their website? Time will tell.
