Did anyone happen to catch citizen's power breakfast today? I watched the guest interview segment(part of it) and truth be told it just revealed what i think ails us as a people,...we really don't get it..we really don't! Here is Dr David Matsanga a peace and conflict expert who was as always on point, overly dramatic but lucid and passionate whenever he talks about Africa on the various subjects that define the continent. So here is Jimmy Gathu and Mutegi Njau....both -in Kenyan standards assumed to be good at what they do- going on about what they think of the ICC has been a good thing for Kenya...blubbering how the confirmation hearings will deter future post election violence from occurring... a lame point considering they are journalists!!!
My beef with these two fake ass TV Hosts that there arguments were average the couldn't grasp whatever Dr. Matsanga was saying...Jimmy especially was being unprofessional, his antics were to say the least embarrassing on national TV sighing unnecessarily, moving about his chair saying absolutely nothing of value. I swear his comments were nothing short of senseless. A man from the street would argue the same way he did only thing missing would be that he doesn't have a platform where millions wouldn't actually see and hear his naive arguments! Mutegi Wasn't that bad he was just worse minus the antics of course. At what point are you a journalist when half the time you just give information that is lopsided and simply put devoid of any relevant input from your thoughts. it just shows you have no idea what you are saying. Anyone who professes that he is a journalist knows that whatever happens in Africa isn't necessarily as clear cut as they seem to be...
This just illustrates who we are as a people. We don't think, we just take in whatever we hear from international, local press and accept it as the gospel truth. We are so simple minded to a fault..... let us question stuff, think it ain't illegal yet!
