Take heart that Kenyan journalists are striving to maintain the same standards of accuracy and ethics as their Western counterparts.

That occurred to me as well.

It's possible that I'm not getting something, but, Stephen, is your comment tongue-in-cheek or sarcasm?

Well, one could take it as such.

But then again, you need to examine our own media''s ethics. Then you tell me how sarcastic I am being.

I believe you meant this as sarcasm. Does our media even have ethics? There might be a few with high principles, but as a general rule, the media's ethics are pretty low. I believe the principles and ethics of our entire society have been on a downward trajectory for many years.

After Dan Rather was fired by CBS for the Bush TNG hoax, he taught a university course in journalism ethics.

And that tells you all you need know about the topic.

I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know just how bad it really is.

Sorry to hear of your sister's passing. Glad to hear the reports of your death were wrong.
