[kictanet] Best example for the need of protection from the media itself

[Mildred Achoch]

Ali,

I agree. Let's not throw away the baby with the bath water. Just because
some bloggers thrive on sensationalism does not mean all bloggers and
blogging are invalid. I was silently noting how lenient the attitude was
towards this mainstream media's faux pas. I was imagining the hell that
would have been raised if it was a blogger. Why the double standard?

Regards,
Mildred Achoch.
