One thing we must all understand is the fact that American media do not operate in a thin year. CNN and the likes, are strategic media power houses with very specific agenda. Let us not forget history and the role that CNN and BBC played in justifying America and allied forces (NATO) invasion to Iraq under the banner of weapons of mass destruction which they have failed to prove to date despite massive destruction and deaths of millions of innocent people. Over recent following the American elections it was quite obvious that CNN sided with Clinton campaigns which is ok under American liberal politics which is the norm for media houses to endorse their preferred candidates. But what is akward is how CNN like other media houses try to show the world that Donald Trump is dumb and unfit for American Presidency. To me this is not a surprise because propaganda has been part of most western media including CNN. Trump was voted to white house by American electrorates. If Trump is as dump as CNN is trying to portray then he is not a problem, the problem is the American people who were not conscious enough to vote for the so called 'dumb'. I am not a fan of Trump or Clinton but I am an objective observer and indeed unwilling to be driven by media peopaganda. We Africans must take time to understand how western media work before believing in what we see. It's the same media which portrays Africa as a worse as hell with nothing to show. How do we trust such media? I am not trying to politicize the Trump, American story but I want us to open our eyes and see behind bars. Take time to digest what CNN is trying to feed us, because for so long we have been fed with junk stories of the bad and the good. But at the end of the day it's not the truth that is said, its the truth that they are creating
