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!

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.
