Sensational British Media

There is something about the UK media that makes me feel like puking. Whenever there is an unfortunate or tragedy among Africans or black people, all sense of proportion goes out of the window.

Take for instance The BBC's claim

"Hundreds of central African children living in the UK may have suffered abuse or even been killed after being accused of witchcraft, charities say. "

When child abuse occurs among white people it is called a rare and isolated incident. For us who live in the Uk and witness the level of child abuse in this country just wonder wether the media prefers to see only what the choose.

Just google "paedophiles" and you'll get the picture of crisis of immense proportion.

I know a lot of African families and I have not seen any abuse on the level claimed by BBC News, at least not among the people I know.

Children should be protected at all cost no matter their race, colour or creed. And the Media should play a role by highlighting activities that put children at risk. Picking and choosing what is more newsworthy is cowardly and shameless exploitation of vulnerable people.
