a number of Scottish lawmakers, victims' families and

Read
newspapers, listen to the radio and watch television in the
West. You will be bombarded with how poor and corrupt
Africans are. However, you will never watch, read or hear
anything in these media outlets on the role played by :
-
Western
banking institutions;
-
property development and estate companies;
-
big
corporations;
-
politicians and the western elite in promoting
corruption in Africa.
 When
it comes to Africa and the developing world, the Western
media pretend to be doing a good job only when there is an
embarrassing story or a scandal that undermines their
credibility. It is not uncommon to see poverty stricken
Africans being shown in documentaries, movies, and
television screens in the West. Although corruption involves
a giver and recipient, it is always the taker who is
reported in the media. |
