I often ask myself why the press would choose to hoodwink Kenyans and insult our intelligence by publishing falsehoods like the Star did. Of what benefit was it to the readers to show the smoking helicopter?? Would it really have made any difference? The fact remains that lives were lost!
In such a case, the person responsible for going to press with that photo would lose their job immediately.
Away with rag tag journalism!

Quoting Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>:
I am beginning to hate the STAR now. It appears that they always want to
look sensational with their news, which stops them from verifying the
facts. Something reminds me that they appointed a lady recently to look
into complaints such as I want to raise now, but I don't remember her
contacts.
Yesterday, the STAR published a photo in the front page, allegedly of the
crashed Police Chopper, with smoke billowing from the engine.
Today the STAR has again published a photo, in the front page, of one of
the deceased pilots inside the cockpit of a different aircraft, wnd which
the STAR shamelessly alleges is the cockpit of the aircraft that crashed.
First, the photo they published yesterday is not even of a same model
chopper as the one that crashed.
Secondly, the photo they have today is the cockpit of an aircraft
registered as 5Y-STA as opposed to 5Y-CDT which belongs to the chopper that
crashed.
Of late I have seen quite some misinformation inside the STAR. Could that
be what they mean by "Fresh, Independent, Different"? That they are unable
to verify simple facts?
I am glad PS Ndemo has filed a complaint against this publication, which is
almost becoming pamphlet derivative.
