President Trump often calls networks like CNN, ABC and NBC “crooked”. He argues they misrepresent his actions. In Africa, we see similar bias from outlets such as the BBC, RFI and France 24. These networks can reflect neo-colonial perspectives.

What examples have you noticed where Western or African broadcasters misrepresented events under the guise of bias?
Definitely, I've noticed headlines changing tone between outlets, downplaying or emphasizing protests differently to suit their audience.
I've seen international outlets focus heavily on conflict while downplaying local achievements, and that pattern seems more than coincidental.
Interesting point, though could it be more about audience interest driving coverage choices rather than deliberate downplay?
Sure, some networks have biases, but we shouldn't dismiss every disagreement as deliberate distortion by 'crooked media'.
A simple step is to cross-check headlines from multiple sources, including local outlets, before accepting any story as unbiased fact.
