Do you actually believe Mohamed Thiam said that to some reporter out on the street? Do you think riots in Africa occur out of love of democracy? Do you actually believe that the "smell of tear gas" lasted days?
Dollars to donuts they took AFP reports, and did some creative interpretation of the story. They never sent anyone to Senegal. Are you mad? When Africa kicks off the journalists get out.
I can't see more, I only see two paragraphs, and to be honest I don't have the stomach for reality fan-fiction.
That's fair. I like the short articles in the front and back of the economist better and occasionally there will be some of internet. I hate the associated press more than anything, reading their articles puts me in a bad mood. I don't know who said what to a reporter in Senegal but when you talk to a journalist in a tense situation you frame a narrative. You interview a protester and they espouse a narrative that suits their purpose. I don't know what you expect or look for in a weekly news rag. The economist is fuckin terrible now and seems like it used to be better. I've actually got the feb 20-26th economist right next to me right now. Its format encapsulates a week of brief world news pretty well, the reporting is obviously not great but it used to be better.
Do you have an alternative to the economist? I'm of the belief that all news publications are pretty shit and I have yet to see evidence otherwise

False knowledge is far more dangerous than ignorance.

For them the West is all that exists. They have a vague idea that something else exists, but it must be tiny, benighted, and irrelevant.
The average western intellect is incredibly incestuous and provincial.
Yeah gimme that RT state news baby
