Western Media Are Seriously Rebranding Us. It Is Politics. by Frican(op): 8:11am On Jul 25, 2015

Recently, there was a call from the concerned asking CNN to apologize over her statement describing East Africa as a 'hotbed of terror'.

But that is not about East Africa alone. It is about Africa. we agree that Africa is currently passing through a difficult time in her history, we can blame the leaders for it, we can decide to look a little beyond that.

Have you read how Europe underdeveloped Africa? How come they usually like what they project and anything that posses threat to them is wanted for elimination? Think of Gadaffi etc.

You saw how Nigerian election also went? Don't get me wrong, I like Buhari too and pray for him to succeed but did you see the fast play in outing Jonathan by both the western media and their president. Don't also get me wrong, Jonathan has his flaws too but my point is; US quickly passed a vote of confidence on Buhari after election, invited him to US and made him a home. When Buhari came back, for failure to accept Gay rights as it is rumoured, US who had promised to assist Nigeria started backing out and have sent the first message which is refusal to sale arms.

In the link provided, CNN is gradually telling the world how bad Africa is, when a trace of terrorism is found anywhere in the west, they are first to report it and keeps on the news. If same happens in any part of Africa, it is in Africa. Africa has, to them, become a country... mtcheew, our news media has also keyed into this and we r always branded negatively. THIS IS AFFECTING THE PSYCHE OF US ALL.
