“This is no longer journalism, this is malicious” Dennis Itumbi up in arms against KTN
A day after the terror attack at the DusitD2 hotel in Nairobi, New York Times published gory images of dead bodies and Kenyans demanded that the photos should be pulled down.
New York Times remained adamant and refused to delete the photos. The publication said that it was their policy to publish images of dead people.
Well, KTN has done a similar thing like New York Times but this time round it does not involve dead bodies. But rather a photo of DP William Ruto.
Malice
KTN tweeted a story titled ‘Three US Citizens of Kenyan descent charged with supporting ISIS’. But instead of using photos of the three, KTN used a photo of the DP.
Dennis Itumbi thinks it was not an accident that the DP’s photo was used in a terror related story. He called out KTN saying their decision to use the DP’s photo was outright malicious.
“Dear @KTNKenya this is no longer journalism. It is regrettable, unfortunate and outrightly malicious. But like DP @WilliamsRuto often says, ” There is a God in Heaven …” Isaiah 22:22 – ” “what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” Itumbi tweeted.
