Aljazeera does the same thing which led to Egypt jailing their journalists for faking and creating news ontheir own.

I captured this one from my TV set of the Aljazeera correspondent claiming to be reporting from Madala in Niger State meanwhile the background shows that he is in Area 10 Garki, Abuja with the Tower of the National Christian Centre very visible behind him.

Last time also a CNN correspondent was reporting from a local market I know very well in Abuja while claiming she was in a market bombed by suicide bombers in Maiduguri.

I'm waiting for the person that will say "See what GEJ has caused"
#Sai GEJ
Infact we should be talking about GEJ for third term because he has won 2nd term already.

Listen to my new track featuring Buhari

Same way an american "expert" claimed over the weekend on FOX that Birmingham (in the UK) is a "Muslim-only city" where non-Muslims "don't go."

Steven Emerson told the channel that in London "Muslim religious police" beat "anyone who doesn't dress according to Muslim, religious Muslim attire".

He has now been forced to issue an apology after a lot of people called for his head.

An American terrorism commentator has apologised for describing Birmingham as a "Muslim-only city" where non-Muslims "don't go" during a Fox News interview.

Steven Emerson told the channel that in London "Muslim religious police" beat "anyone who doesn't dress according to Muslim, religious Muslim attire".

He later issued an apology for his "terrible error".

His comments have come in for ridicule, with the hashtag #FoxNewsFacts trending on Twitter.

Mr Emerson, who founded a group called The Investigative Project on Terrorism, was giving his perspective on the terror attacks in France to Fox presenter Jeanine Pirro.

'Check your facts'
Birmingham City Council said Mr Emerson's "curious" comments had no foundation, and welcomed his apology, while Birmingham Edgbaston MP Gisela Stuart described the remarks as "stupid".

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/80202000/png/_80202073_tweet_04.png

On social media, Mr Emerson has been the butt of jokes, while he has been accused of "speaking nonsense" by people posting on his investigative website.

One Twitter user said: "As someone born and raised in Birmingham, I must admit there was a pressure to read the Kerrang."

"I was supposed to go to Birmingham last week but I forgot my passport," said another.


The Guardian's Simon Ricketts on #FoxNewsFacts
I was at home and the video of the Fox News "expert" Steve Emerson had popped up on my Twitter feed and people were rightly expressing their disbelief at what he had said.

I thought it might be funny to counteract the anger with silliness, so I wrote a tweet and stuck the hashtag (#FoxNewsFacts) on it.

Sometimes the best response to such nonsense is satire and mockery, rather than anger and outrage.

Immediately, that proved successful and the people of Twitter did what they do best at times - took an idea and ran with it.

ROSSIKE:
Use your brain. Was their '3000' death toll in Baga also a typographical error?
I presume they gave the report based on the account of information they got from those who escaped from the attack
Note: I'm not supporting them but it maybe a mistake

We've been busy fantasising about Buharis daughter all week, after Boko haram killed thousands in Baga. some were even complaining that the world didn't care bout the massacre in Nigeria. Now that the western media is trying to Bring attention to the killings in Nigeria, we're suddenly taking offence cos someone chipped in a typo!
The west should just leave us alone to kill ourselves, we're savages that are not worth an ounce of anyone's attention undecided

I believe they were only predicting the future, bokoharam is expected to be welcomed with open arms when they venture westward. There are millions of Muslims in the SW to be used as cannon fodder.

False reporting, western media propaganda. It is this same reporter from CNN that was defending GEJ, on why the FG chose to empathise publicly with the french people, but decided to remain silent on the Baga killing.

This is why i don't watch CNN or fox or even bbc.All this western media are so unashamedly biased when it comes to africa or even the middle east they are only intrested in reporting only negative things out of africa

So i recommend you watch aljazerra they are not as biased as those ignoramiuses anchoring western news angry
