[wanabidii] Re: (VVM Forum) The Media & the Presidential Debate!

Evans,

I notice that you've hijacked Mainals thread and changed the Subject Title.

Anywa, back to the issue at hand:
I don't think there's any reporter or journalist in Kenya that is
politically unbiased. A lot of them are qualified to moderate a debate
though. The solution?
An interview panel of 3 journalists to dilute partisanship.

Courage
