It is high time that section of the media learnt its lessons and returned to professional practice. We think there is nothing particularly wrong in covering presidential aspirants favourably, but the reports must at least be true. And the truth is that DrWillibrod
Slaa will not be the fifth president of Tanzania.
The Chadema candidate has a lot of issues to settle, beginning at family level, from which he will need to practice leadership upwards. He will, indeed, garner some votes in October, just like Augustine Mrema in 1995, but that will be it, and the media behind the former priest can quote us on that.

A vividly pro-Willibrod Slaa weekly tabloid has used our name in a shameful attempt to prop up the Chadema presidential candidate's campaign, suggesting that he was being backed by three quarters of local internet surfers.

A vividly pro-Willibrod Slaa weekly tabloid has used our name in a shameful attempt to prop up the Chadema presidential candidate's campaign, suggesting that he was being backed by three quarters of local internet surfers.
In its lead story on Tuesday, the September 22-28 edition of the tabloid deliberately misused an online poll involving a mere 161 visitors to purport that the whole nation was behind Slaa. While noting the tabloid editors' virtual confession that they cannot be believed without quoting the Daily News, we abhor the unprofessional decision to use our name to lend credence to their wildly hopeless adventure.
The editors of the tabloid know that the figures they used are quoted out of context and are absolutely unrealistic. That is why they confess in the fabricated report that very few Tanzanians have access to the internet and that the purported poll results do not reflect
what will come out of the October 31 ballot.
So why would they venture out with old poll results today? Vicious anti-establishment fervor at best and malicious conspiracy to settle old scores at worst. That is typical activist journalism practiced by a section of the media, which has openly identified with the opposition and plays down any positive achievement of President Kikwete's government while orchestrating purported failures, mostly made up ones.
The attempt to enlist the support of the Daily News was apparently meant to save another tabloid blushes after carrying an equally wild fabrication to the effect that Synovate had censored results of a poll showing Slaa leading president Kikwete by four points in popularity. The pollster has publicly derided the tabloid and lodged a complaint with the Media Council.
It is high time that section of the media learnt its lessons and returned to professional practice. We think there is nothing particularly wrong in covering presidential aspirants favourably, but the reports must at least be true. And the truth is that DrWillibrod
Slaa will not be the fifth president of Tanzania.
The Chadema candidate has a lot of issues to settle, beginning at family level, from which he will need to practice leadership upwards. He will, indeed, garner some votes in October, just like Augustine Mrema in 1995, but that will be it, and the media behind the former priest can quote us on that.

Sijawahi kuona editorial ya kipumbavu kama hii. Bila shaka iliandikwa na mtu aliyekuwa amelewa chakari. Tunangoja kusikia reaction ya vyombo kama Baraza la Habari na Tume ya Uchaguzi. Lakini pia mimi ningekuwa mwajiri wa huyo mhariri ningemfuta kazi mara moja!
Mkuu wangu, nilicheka kwa uchungu maana kama huyu jamaa ndo amemaliza elimu yake hapo basi usitegemee kupata aina ya waandishi aanaowapigia debe MKAPA. sometimes yule mzee yupo right ingawa approach ni ya kizembeMkuu sidhani kama kuna mwandishi wa habari angeweza kusema haya juu ya Kikwete - Hakuna.
Hivyo upumbavu huu haufai kushangiliwa hata kidogo.
Hili suala la kusema ati Slaa hawezi kuwa Rais; it touches big section of the population and it can cause a big outcry; sielewi Dailynews wamekuwa irresponsible kiasi hiki? Such a satement is starting to divide people now; there are those who can rule as they want; but others; even if they are capable of ruling cannot be given such an opportunity!
!!
Hashinda urais slaa tuwe wa kweli tu..
Duh..huyu mhariri mpuuzi ghafla amechafua mood yangu kabisa,
yaani ameamua kuchafua hali ya hewa kwa makusudi kabisa bila kuwa na sababu za msingi.
Moderator, mturuhusu tu walau kumtukana-specifically kwenye hii thread-labda hasira zetu wengine zitapungua.
