Op. all I can work out from your submission is that you're a PDP sympathiser from the southeast, I stand to be corrected though. But I'm not going to base my response on where your sympathy lies since that is entirely your right, however I must say it for the record that most nigerian newspapers are a propaganda tools the only difference between them is there ability to creatively conceal it. for instance there is no denying it that the sun newspaper news,editorials, and articles are always skewed in favour of the southeast.
daily trust also is to north what the sun is to the east. And now to my favourite of them all, you guessed right it's the nation newspaper, yes can accuse them of dwelling too much on news from the southwest and Edo, but what you can't accuse them of is not balancing there views. as for the television stations you clearly gave yourself out by listing AIT ahead of channels and TVC in terms of news reportage but like I said before your political leanings aren't the subject of discussion.
And please before you start telling me how sentimental I am in my choices, I want you to know that I actually always read all three newspapers including punch on a daily basis because unlike most people I already know that the best way to get all the facts is to go through all there news and put the pieces together myself that way I'm sure I'm not been swayed to on side without me making the decisions


First of all, learn to avoid careless allegation infact unfounded allegation. So because my view automatically differs with your I am now a pdp apologist and from east...... anyway that's by the way as I don't need to be reminded of who you might be by such careless statement.


If nation's newspaper is your best newspaper then you are not different from the propaganda machine. Newspaper that finds nothing good in others but only west. You will never see them document any village in west but will be busy meandering the innermost villages in SE/SS just to portray others in bad light. That is the newspaper that is your champion. Well I am not suprise, you must always practice one of your own the more reason your are blinded to undertake sound objectivity.


Finally there is no way you can absolve yourself @last paragraph when you have already shown where your loyalty lies.....

More like been hypocritical.

whao! you didn't even waste anytime in going below the belt. anyways I resist the temptation to go that way with you. because what I said was that 'I STAND TO BE CORRECTED' but instead of correcting me with sound argument you went about calling me a hypocrite.
But I think the real unapologetic hypocrite here is you or how do you explain coming to a forum and telling people what news outlets to follow and the ones to avoid, you even took your comic to another level by insinuating that the nation newspaper is a propaganda tool while conveniently absorbing your dear Sun newspaper of doing same, well sorry to be the one to break it to you that no Nigeria newspaper is devoid of political influence and this I can tell you authoritatively because of my professional background. I still maintain my point that the only difference between all of them is there ability to creatively conceal there bias.
Yes the nation newspapers concentrate more on news from the southwest and Edo, but I guess I already picked that out from my earlier submission, so if you're not the hypocrite that you're making me out to be you would know the sun newspaper also focused more on news from the southeast. And please before you go about calling me names again I want you to know that it's not a crime or is it a professional misconduct for any media house to be sympathetic to anyone,country,religion or administration. But it becomes a crime when they alter or misrepresent facts

No need for @bolded if you are really comfortable with submission because innocent mind fear no accusations but know fully well how biased you are , You have to quickly attach that line to make yourself look fair and just in face of glaring bias.


Moreover I only corrected the impression you trying to create by shooting yourself at your leg same time. You claim nation newspaper is your favorite and in twist of an eye you now want to make it look that you draw your conclusion from reading different newspaper. Nothing is as confusing as that statement. You can have something as favorite and neglecting same to draw conclusion from others.


Sometimes I wonder if you guys will ever make a submit devoid of leaning and attachment. All your submission is skewed towards one outlet and you want to prove it by all means.

This is serious.

ok then please be kind enough to point out where I expressly said I usually draw my conclusions based on what I read in the nation newspaper. what I said and still stand by is that the nation newspaper is my favourite but I guess you were too busy trying to portray me as been bias that you left out the part where I said I read four newspapers and pick facts from each of them to help me make sense of all the stories of the day.

Something is your favorite and you still don't trust the news it churns out , because they are all lies. The more reason you need to consult others so that you can deductively know the truth.

By that singular statement, I am proved right once again that nation newspaper was born out of wicked intentions to undermine others.

You are afraid of what you produce the reason you ran to others to correlate their facts more like the Nigeria and Nigerians ( In quote) afraid of the Doctors they produce and ran to other civilisation for treatment.

Correct me if am right.

All Nigerian newspapers are compromised depending on who is financing it, ethnic, religious and political affiliations.

The only way not to get trapped with their lies and propaganda is to always be on alert by putting one and two together.... And drawing your own conclusions.

you couldn't be more right in been wrong. But in order to prevent you from twisting my submissions, let me put it this way if I want to make sense of any national discus I read the Sun newspaper to get the southeast view on such topic, daily trust to get the northern view and the Nation to get the western view, punch often times bridge all views as one, only after going through all of them would I now objectively put the pieces together to arrive at my own conclusion to help me make a stand. now the reason I go through with this ritual is not because I do not trust the Nation but because my line of job has made me realise that no Nigeria newspaper is completely objective but some are more objective than others and my argument with you isn't about the nations been better than the rest, it's about you trying to accuse it of an offence that all the other ones you picked are guilty of. And let me say it again just so that I can provoke a reaction from you I LOVE THE NATION NEWSPAPER. THE NATION NEWSPAPER IS MY FAVOURITE

From the Ops writeup one can deduce he is an ethnic bigot, of all the newspaper you mentioned the leats credible ones are the ones you see credible, then i guess you would need to define credibility. From my own perspective, I think the most credible newspaper are as follows;

(1) premiumtimes
(2) Daily trust newspaper
(3) Punch Newspaper
(4) Sahara reporters

Any other newpaper as far as i am concerned is just a sensation soft sell magazine which should only be read when one is bored most especially Sunnewpaper.
Sahara Reporters started getting objective as soon as Sowore was stopped from cashing out.

They used and dumped him .

Punch's past is haunting them. They have raised them game lately but old habits die hard.

The Punch of 2017 backwards was a joke of a national tabloid.

The major specialty of TVC, The Nation and PM News is just to project everything South East as negatively as possible.
