Even with the international websites, there has been irresponsible reporting on the issue. It can hardly be termed "suicidal" bomb if the the petrol bomb went off accidentally-- in a scuffle as has been reported.Jujuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08850017927366791645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593259574438503765.post-14355806806496014562007-06-12T02:34:00.000+03:002007-06-12T02:34:00.000+03:00In defence of International Media, I usually get a...In defence of International Media, I usually get a BBC alert on breaking news and that I did get though not in details until much later.Obviously, then I jumped to Nation, Standard , KBC and KTN website and at that time they had nothing on it. I would not be too particular on personal communication because the initial reaction among bloggers etc was to write not report whatever information they had at that moment and that happens in all over the blog world even in london bombings, the initial writings from different forums was erroneous and thus as much as I agree that we should be careful, in what we write in awake of such crisis at the same time the need to say something/react immediately is imperativeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593259574438503765.post-54439096225145614922007-06-11T20:55:00.000+03:002007-06-11T20:55:00.000+03:00The first I heard of this was as an sms from someo...The first I heard of this was as an sms from someone back home that got to me while on the bus on my way to work this morning. The rest of my ride in was one of anxiety as I waited to get to the office and get on the net to see what the news sources had on this. As <A HREF="http://www.thinkersroom.com/blog/2007/06/explosion-in-nairobi-follow-up/" REL="nofollow">M puts</A> it, personal communication media is indeed a double edged sword that should be carefully brandished.egmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727529987048093242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593259574438503765.post-40197927984483418982007-06-11T20:38:00.000+03:002007-06-11T20:38:00.000+03:00Hopefully guyz are ok!!
