Stories That Hurt Us

When http://theuganda.blogspot.com was launched early december agreat friend of mine from the WHYS (world have your say ) called me and alerted of the dangers likely to face, these are not political motivated as you had thought but simple dangers of stress, stressed by readers who demand for much when in actual sense you can offer few.Let us start from here, when we talk of stories that hurt us we don't mean the ones that hurt you in general but us in coommon,one night as i was moving along Kampala road I hard from adistance a lady say
"To night I've to atleast double, the money...."
this was anice looking girl of the mordern Kampala sytle .I tried to use my ethics of being a PI and followed the lady for a distance only to discover that the lady was a student at Makerere University involved in prostitution these are the stories that hurt me most , since one lady told me " why do you mind on people's business?" I wondered whether what she was doing was real business or some thing else.Another great friend of Mine in on Facebook yesterday said to me when the carrier feel shameless then the viewer you have to swallow I wondered what to wonder about but there was some thing real to wonder about , the shaless people .

THE MEDIA IN UGANDA.

Uganda has got many media houses where the public acces the latest news and topical debates from around the country.But there is some thing strange about these houses the have their own version of reporting and bringing the news to the consumer.The two most popular news papers that is http://www.newvision.co.ug and the http://www.monitor.co.ug report according to each other, the former is agovernment paper which only talks about the government in good terms and praise it in any way possible where the later hate any thing government they go ahead to publish all the so callled "nonse" in all government organs.Example compare these two articles from both the New vision and Monitor.
"

PRIME Minister Apolo Nsibambi has urged his deputy, Kirunda
Kivejinja, to accept defeat and work together with Bugweri MP-elect Abdu
Katuntu. Speaking at the Prime Ministers’ Office end-of-year party at Hotel
Africana on Friday evening, Nsibambi appealed to President Yoweri Museveni to
let to Kivejinja keep his post as Third Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Information and National Guidance

Here the New Vision article talks of the prime minister advising the NRM ruling party flag bear hold in eastern district of Busoga to accept defeat of FDC man Katuntu.But the Monitor react to the story in this way

"The National Resistance Movement (NRM) camp is still reeling from the shock results of the December 13 Bugweri parliamentary by-elections that was won by Opposition Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) Abdu Katuntu with 14,704 votes, against their candidate, Al-haji Ali Muwabe Kirunda Kivejinja’s 12,829"

this shows the reader that the Monitor news pick is happy of the failure of the NRM flag bearer but the New vision try to show that they have accepted defeat but which people (even the new vision house ) inclusive.
